There was strong support for the Queen Charlotte Track to become a Great Walk last year (video first published in December 2020)
From the Milford and Routeburn to the mighty Te Araroa Trail, New Zealand abounds in epic tramps that will knock your socks off. Before you tackle these tougher trails or if you’re a seasoned tramper like me simply want a break from carrying a heavy pack take an easier multi-day walk along the Queen Charlotte Track in the picturesque Marlborough Sounds.

Pack a hat and plenty of sunscreen for this walk, as you’ll be soaking up a lot of sun.
