Day 1

Walking
(approximately 5 hours)

Departing on an 8.00am water taxi from Picton we travel for an hour up the Queen Charlotte Sound to Ship Cove in the Outer-Queen Charlotte Sound and the start of the Queen Charlotte Track. Ship Cove is one of the most historic areas in the Sounds. Captain James Cook visited the cove five times during his world journeys, due to the prolific supply of fresh water, timber and scurvy grass for his crew. The area is surrounded by bountiful virgin bush and the walk to the top of the ridge provides spectacular views. The track travels from Ship Cove through native virgin bush, down into Resolution Bay and then Endeavour Inlet. Arriving at Furneaux Lodge, you catch a water taxi down the Queen Charlotte Sound to Torea Bay and arrive at Portage Resort Hotel for the evening.

The standard accommodation on this trip is bunkroom or you can upgrade to twin share at an additional cost.

Cook your own meal, or dine in their restaurant, and then rest and relax in the magic surroundings of Keneperu Sound.
