Overview

Day One

Ship Cove to The Portage Hotel.

Depart Picton on our 9:00am service to Ship Cove, spend some time at Historic Ship Cove with the Captain Cook Monument before heading out onto the Queen Charlotte Track for your 50km ride to Portage where you will stay the night.

The ride includes plenty of climbs and uphill stretches along with flat sections for rest and downhill curves and bends.  

If this sounds too much for you, you can always be dropped off at Camp Bay instead, for a 25km ride to Portage, you will be dropped off at approximately 11:30am. This is still a fantastic section of the track, riding high onto the ridgeline for fantastic views of the Queen Charlotte Sounds. Alternatively, you can ride the road from Punga Cove to Portage.

Day Two

The Portage Hotel to Anakiwa.

Enjoy spectacular views as you climb the main ridge between Queen Charlotte and Kenepuru Sounds. Follow old bridle paths through regenerating forest that is home to Weka, Silver Eyes, Fantails and many more native New Zealand birds. Take time to look back over the distance covered during your walk and take in the breath-taking vistas. Your adventure ends with a gentle walk through the magnificent beech forest to Anakiwa where your boat will meet you at 3.30pmto return you back to Picton. The ride today from Portage to Anakiwa is approximately 21km
