About Queen Charlotte Track Walks

As Marlborough’s most experienced adventure tour operator on the Queen Charlotte Track, we have an unsurpassed depth of knowledge when it comes to how hikers like to experience this stunning walk. Our packages are designed to ensure that no matter no matter whether you are a guided or independent hiker, your adventure on the Queen Charlotte Track is complete and comprehensive. Where possible we have included some extra features that are not available with other tour operators.

We are aware that some people prefer a complete walking holiday, sharing their experience with a group of like-minded people from all over the world and therefore the guided option is the best one. We also recognise that some people prefer to be independent and walk on their own, or with their group of friends only, therefore we also offer a “freedom” option.
