Queen Charlotte Track

The Queen Charlotte Track is the best coastal track in New Zealand. The best part of the Track is from Ship Cove to Schoolhouse bay.

This location has a pristine natural forest that has been protected both by Maori and European. At E-ko we only supply the BEST possible local Tours so we have created a series of tours based around this location.

  1. Cheapest and BEST Track Drop to Ship Cove:  1.5 hrs
  2. Captain Cook Cruise:                                         4 hours
  3. Motuara Island and Ship Cove. (self-guide)       8 hrs

From wild dolphins to rare land birds to cute blue penguins and lazy seals - we've got them all! 🙂
