The Queen Charlotte Track

A 71km track, from Ship Cove to Anakiwa, along the Queen Charlotte Sound, made easy by a ferry service that transports you to the start and then takes your food and excess bags to your night stops along the way. Mountain biking or kayaking is also really popular but we decided to be traditional and walked the route over 3 days.

Besides a rainy third morning we had pretty clear skies the whole way giving us amazing views along the way, the water changing to different shades of blue throughout the day. The best thing about the walk, probably only occuring around this time of the year, was that there were only a handful of other people on the track.
