This trip's fully guided with brilliant insights from your guide into the local history and ecology of the region. You also get extra perks such as tea and real coffee brewed up for you on the trail!

After an exhilarating hike each day you'll come to rest at the extremely comfortable lodges, where you can dine in top quality restaurants serving great local produce. 

You will be part of a small walking group and enjoy great camaraderie, food and wine, discerning service and the knowledge of local guides. This is walking at its most civilised with all the comforts of home.

Day One: Ship Cove to Furneaux Lodge (15km 4 - 5 Hours). Your first day starts in the morning with a water taxi ride out to historic Ship Cove. The trail starts off quite steeply and winds through a mixture of stunning old-growth podocarp and beech forest. Resolution Bay is a great place for lunch and then on to Endeavour Inlet and your first night on the trail at Furneaux Lodge.

Day Two: Furneaux Lodge to Punga Cove (12km 3-4 Hours). This coastal section of track is the shortest and easiest of the entire trip. It takes you around the beautiful Endeavour Inlet from Furneaux Lodge to Punga Cove Resort for your second night.

Day Three: Punga Cove to Portage Resort (25km 7-8 Hours). You'll be thankful for the easy nature of the previous day because this is a challenging section. Your hard work will be rewarded though because truly spectacular views greet you at every corner. At the end of the day you descend to Portage Resort for your final night on the track and a short visit to a new part of the Marlborough Sounds too - Kenepuru Sound.

Day Four: Portage Resort to Anakiwa (20km 6 Hours). The final day on the trail takes you to the end of the Sound at Anakiwa . A lovely walk through mature native bush, with the water sparkling through the trees below you, is a fitting finale to this wonderful hike. You will be returned by boat from the Anakiwa Jetty to Picton, arriving back by late afternoon.
