Queen Charlotte Track, Christchurch

This is not only one of the worlds great walks in one of the worlds most beautiful locations, but it is also one of the most fun, best organised and best serviced.
What happens is that you get dropped out by boat to the end of the walk, or as far as you want to go, along a hilly peninsula. You then make your way back to the town of Picton, taking as long as you want, but generally up to about 6 days.
The walk is a constant series of up downs hills that provide ulternatively spectacular views or access to the beach.
What makes it even better is that at least twice a day you will walk past a pub. These have beach access and accomodation.
I walked the whole path but many people just walk little sections and spend time relaxing along the way. They will even take your bag to the next campsite so that you can walk along unencumbered.
Awsome place.
