The
Track
Regarded as one of the classic New Zealand walkways
the Queen Charlotte Track is a long track, not
a steep track. This means that the distances walked
each day (particularly on day 3 and 4), are challenging.
The terrain is regarded as undulating with hills
ranging from sea level to a maximum of 400 metres.
The spectacular walking track, stretching from
historic Ship Cove to Anakiwa, passes through
lush coastal forest, around coves and inlets,
and along skyline ridges offering breathtaking
views of the Queen Charlotte and Kenepuru Sounds.
You can walk the entire track over four days
or enjoy a short walk depending on your timetable.
