Looking down from a ridge to Queen Charlotte Sound on one side, Kenepuru Sound on the other, this is a unique hike in a unique land.

Not one of the official 10 Great Walks of New Zealand, the QCT is less crowded than most of the other tramps. You skirt bays, tramp up and down ridges, sometimes walking the spine of an isthmus, sometimes tramping along the coast.

The Queen Charlotte Track is convenient to access and simple to organize. Check the FAQs.
