Picton New Zealand Activities - Guided Walks - Queen Charlotte Track
requirements for a gourmet walking holiday in style.
Walked over four days, The Queen Charlotte Track (71 km, 40 miles) is well maintained
with the majority of the streams bridged and has a variety of gradients and surfaces
with a wide, compact base, hence stout footwear is advised.
A reasonable level of fitness is required to walk The Queen Charlotte Track, although
there are options available if you wish to travel by water taxi from each lodge on any
given day of the walk. You only need to carry a light day bag containing your camera,
lunch and water bottle as your overnight luggage is transferred by water taxi each day.
The beauty of The Queen Charlotte Track is that it can be walked any season as the
Marlborough Sounds enjoys a mild, temperate climate throughout the year. Winter is an
ideal walking time with clear, sunny days and fewer people than the more popular
summer season.
This trip is perfect for couples, especially where one chooses to walk while the other
can relax and travel to each lodge via water taxi.
