Our Invitation to You...
A new dawn is on the horizon for New Zealand tourism.

Endings are followed by beginnings and so it is we look towards our new reality post COVID-19 with a positive outlook - it's time to shape our visitor industry with protection and enhancement of our environment at its core.

It's also our chance to reconnect with nature. Never has there been a better time to appreciate all that we have on our own doorstep. We're excited at the prospect of showing you our backyard.

Wilderness Guides has been part of the tourism landscape in the Marlborough Sounds for 20 years and we don't plan to be going anywhere, anytime soon. So, we invite you to explore the Marlborough Sounds and Queen Charlotte Track with us.

We look forward to showing you around.

The Queen Charlotte Track with Wilderness Guides NZ

The Queen Charlotte Track in the Marlborough Sounds is known as the finest and most diverse coastal track in New Zealand.
It is located at the top of the South Island, near the famous Marlborough wine region, and is accessed by boat from Picton to the beginning at the scenic and historic reserve of Ship Cove in Queen Charlotte Sound.

This is an iconic historic place, one that is steeped in both Maori and European history, and is a place all New Zealanders should visit.
