Picton Scenic Boat Cruise and partial Queen Charlotte Track Walk. Stunning half day walk and scenic cruises.
Highlights
- Experience a stunning scenic boat cruise and partial Queen Charlotte Track Walk.
- Walk from Furneaux Lodge to breathtaking Punga Cove Resort in stunning bush.
Cruise from Picton to Furneaux Lodge where you disembark. Take the opportunity to grab a coffee or even brunch before beginning your walk to Punga Cove Resort.
This section of the Queen Charlotte Track mainly follows the coastline around Endeavour Inlet through regenerating native bush.
Once farmland, this part of the walkway has reverted to nature and the forest is once again lush and alive with the sound of birdsong.
The area is also rich with history as it was once the site of an Antimony Mine, take some time to read the interpretation panels there. Continue around the shore, with pasture land on either side and then through native forest with views right down the Inlet to the main Queen Charlotte Sound.
Upon arrival at Punga Cove Resort relax and enjoy the facilities before boarding your cruise vessel for your return boat journey to Picton, arriving back between 5.30pm and 6.00pm. Upon check in the reservations team will confirm the pick up time from the resort with you and provide you with a map.

Wanderung auf dem Queen Charlotte track
leichte Wanderung von Furneaux Lodge nach Punga Cove. 1,5 km in 4 Stunden mit schönen Aussichten auf die Marlborough Sounds. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Absolut empfehlenswert
Wir hatten Glück mit dem Skipper, dem Wetter und den Delphinen. Zwei Gruppen Delfine haben wir Sichten können, dazu noch einen Seelöwen. Die Geschichten des Skippers waren informativ, der Wanderweg moderat und trotz mehrerer Pausen in 4 Stunden machbar. Schöne Buchten und Strände, Wanderweg hauptsächlich direkt in Wassernähe und Halbschatten. Es war unsere vierte und schönste Bootstour in diesem Urlaub.

Zauberhafte Natur
Auf der Tour bekam man sehr viele Informationen über die Gegend und die Flora und Fauna. Auch wurde unterwegs versucht Delfine aufzuspüren - kurz - leider hatten wir kein Glück. Die Wanderung ist entspannt bis zur Abholzeit möglich und es gibt am Start und Endpunkt eine Möglichkeit etwas zu essen. Landschaftlich sehr schöne und moderate Wanderung.

Great experience
Well worth the trip! Walk took 3.5hr including photo stops. Lunch at Punga Cove was worth the wait and the Baileys Iced Chocolate was awesome!! Despite the showers, we loved the walk and would definitely recommend it even if you only have moderate fitness

Herrlicher Sonnentag
Das war ein herrlicher Tag. Schöne Bootsfahrt. Leider war nicht klar wie lang sie mit den Zwischenstopps dauern würde. Die Wanderung war wunderbar nur für meine Beine etwas knapp bemessen mit der Zeit bis zur Abholung - auch durch die lange Hinfahrt. Aber es hat gereicht. Nur nicht mehr für ein Bad am Schluss. Wunderbare Ausblicke. Insgesamt ein herrlicher Tag.
