Marlborough Sounds
The Queen Charlotte Track offers stunning walks and views – what could be better than to walk the tracks during the day and then be picked up at night to relax aboard Nirvana.
Pick where you want to walk and we can drop you off in the morning and pick you up at night for a relaxing and refreshing comfortable night. Plenty of time to explore the coast in the ship’s small boat.
