Queen Charlotte Track

The Queen Charlotte Track, located at the top of New Zealands South Island in the Marlborough Sounds, offers a spectacular trip through the Marlborough Sounds, from the historic Ship Cove through to Anakiwa in the Grove Arm giving unsurpassed views of Queen Charlotte and Kenepuru Sounds.

The Queen Charlotte Sound is the more well known of the three Sounds, and is dominated by bush-clad shorelines, deep bays and coves, ideal for exploring by sea kayak while the Kenepuru Sound is the smallest of the three Sounds.
