QUEEN CHARLOTTE TRACK, NZ
BEST FOR Gourmands
Stretching 70-plus kilometres through the sunken river valleys of Marlborough Sounds, the famed Queen Charlotte Track combines wilderness and comfort. Stay at the secluded Bay of Many Coves Resort while completing sections of the trail over four nature-filled days with Wilderness Guides, who ferry adventurers to and from the five-star lodge by water taxi. Following ambles through verdant beech forest and swims in fern-fringed coves, indulge in fresh seafood paired with sommelier-picked drops at the fine-dining Foredeck Restaurant. Afterwards, book a deep tissue massage to soothe walk-weary muscles.
