The Marlborough Sounds are an extensive network of sea-drowned valleys created by a combination of land subsidence and rising sea levels at the north of the South Island of New Zealand.
The 71 kilometres of the Queen Charlotte Track are a hiking and mountain-biking paradise. Surrounding the Queen Charlotte Track you’ll find 1500 kilometres of breathtaking Marlborough Sounds’ coast – one fifth of New Zealand’s total coastline – a magical place for exploring by sea kayak.
Hiking, trekking, rambling, bush walking or tramping the Queen Charlotte Track is perfect for it. By day walk from shoreline to ridgeline, exploring the hidden bays and coves of the Marlborough Sounds. By night enjoy our lodge accommodation, Marlborough’s famous wines, and delicious food.
