Queen Charlotte Track, New Zealand cycling and tramping trail
The Queen Charlotte Track is a long-distance hiking route in the Marlborough District that winds through forested hills and along coastal sections. The trail passes through changing landscapes with bay views and navigates marked paths across several distinct terrain types.
The route was originally established as a path through areas explored by early European settlers. Over time it developed into a formal hiking trail that draws visitors today.
The trail is well marked and can be walked in sections or as a whole, with the best visiting time during warmer months. Hikers should bring proper gear and prepare for changing conditions as the route crosses varying elevations.
The route offers the option to use different transport methods including water taxis between sections, creating a varied hiking experience. This allows visitors to customize their journey based on interests and energy levels.
