Queen Charlotte Sound, one of the main sounds of the Marlborough Sounds in the northeastern part of New Zealand's South Island, is one of the most beautiful locations in the island country.

Queen Charlotte Track is a 40-mile walk that provides trekkers with stunning views of the Sound's waterscape and lush coastal forest.
