The Top of the South Adventure Trail

Begin your journey with the famous Cook Strait crossing, leading directly into the stunning waterways of the Marlborough Sounds and home to the iconic Queen Charlotte Track. Experience the seclusion of the Sounds with an unforgettable stay at a premier location, accessible only by boat, before following the scenic route to Nelson, New Zealand’s sunniest region. Here, you’ll enjoy a bespoke cycling experience, pedalling the Great Taste Trail to Mapua, tasting local treats along the way. The adventure elevates in Abel Tasman National Park, where you'll sea kayak through crystal-clear waters and walk a pristine section of one of New Zealand’s Great Walks. Venture out to the remote and dramatic coastal landscapes of Golden Bay, before returning to Picton and Wellington.
