Flexible Transfers and Luggage Support for Walkers and Bikers

The Great Track & Pack Pass is the most convenient and cost-effective way to explore the 71km Queen Charlotte Track. Offering flexible transport and luggage transfers, itโ€™s ideal for walkers and bikers alike. With no set itinerary, you can complete the journey at your own paceโ€”most travellers take 3 to 4 days, but you can stretch it over a week or power through in just a few days.

The Queen Charlotte Track features lush native bush, panoramic views of the Marlborough Sounds, and accommodation ranging from campsites and lodges to luxury resorts. Travel from north to south is recommended, and we advise booking your accommodation in advance. For help planning your route, contact our reservations team.
