Queen Charlotte Sound
A wealth of wildlife awaits in the vast waterways of the Queen Charlotte Sound. Part of the staggeringly beautiful Marlborough Sounds, the bush-clad shoreline and deep coves are ideal to explore by kayak, paddling alongside dolphins and past penguins and seal colonies.
After experiencing the Sounds from the water, take to the famous Queen Charlotte Track to get a panoramic view, dipping into hidden bays of diamond-like water and brilliant sands, and through lush coastal forest with just the calls of the birds breaking through the gentle sound of the lapping water.
