Embark on a magical adventure into the great outdoors with this scenic walk and cruise set in the beautiful Queen Charlotte Sounds.
The water taxi service for the Queen Charlotte track Ship Cove to Furneaux Lodge is a mini cruise itself with great views of the Marlborough Sounds. The schedule for return water taxi is tough though. We took the water taxi at 9am, we reached Ship Cove at 10:15 and started our hike on the Queen Charlotte track at 10:35. The distance is 17 km, and we really needed to hurry. With just a short lunch break of 30 minutes we reached Furneaux Lodge at 3:35, 25 minutes prior to the departure of the water taxi back to Picton. Would prefer if there were a water taxi at 4:30 or 5 pm.
Read that as; there are things to buy. Overall nothing to add, it’s a watertaxi mkay?

Traumhafte Aussichten auf den QCS
Wir suchten eine Kombination von Schifffahrt auf dem Sound und Wanderung auf dem Track. Bei bookme fanden wir diese tolle Tagestour, die Buchung war leicht und günstig zu buchen und Beachcomber ließ es reibungslos ablaufen. Ein netter Skipper brachte uns zu Ship Cove und holte uns pünktlich an der Furneaux Lodge wieder ab. Ganz nebenbei versorgte er uns mit interessanten Infos und fand sogar noch Delfine. Wir hatten herrliches Wetter, so dass die Aussichten auf den Sound während der Wanderung einfach traumhaft waren. Der Wanderweg ist nicht zu verfehlen und trotz einiger Steigungen für jederman geeignet. Wir können diese Tour uneingeschrängt weiterempfehlen!
