QCT Day Walks
$75 adult | $45 child - explore the lush northern Queen Charlotte Track for a day
Cruise with Cougar Line from Picton to the start of one of four day walk options along the northern Queen Charlotte Track, and rejoin our afternoon boat for a scenic ride home.*
The Queen Charlotte Track offers scenery that will take your breath away including lush native forest and stunning vistas of the beautiful Marlborough Sounds. Marlborough's brilliant climate allows for good year-round conditions along the track. The northern section between Ship Cove/Meretoto and Punga Cove is an excellent section for day walks.
Choose from these day walks:
- Ship Cove/Meretoto - Furneaux Lodge (17km - 5.5hr walk). 10am boat drop off Ship Cove/Meretoto | 3pm boat pick up Furneaux Lodge (fit, fast walkers only for a day trip).
- Resolution Bay - Ship Cove/Meretoto (6.5km - 2.5hr walk). 10.15am boat drop off Resolution Bay | 2.30pm boat pick up Ship Cove/Meretoto (suitable for all walkers for a day trip).
- Resolution Bay - Furneaux Lodge (10.5km - 3hr walk). 10.15am boat drop off Resolution Bay | 3pm boat pick up Furneaux Lodge (suitable for all walkers for a day trip).
- Furneaux Lodge - Punga Cove (12.7km - 4hr walk). 10.30am boat drop off Furneaux Lodge | 3.15pm boat pick up Punga Cove (best for mid-fast walkers for a day trip).
Depart Picton at 9am onboard Cougar Line and take the boat to your walking start point, and ensure you're at the boat pick up point by the departure time.
A great way to get a bite-sized taste of the Queen Charlotte Track.
