The Queen Charlotte Track (QCT) runs almost the entire length of New Zealand's Queen Charlotte Sound.
This 71 kilometre spectacular walking track passes through historic sites, secluded bays and lush coastal bush. Important steps have been taken to protect the future of the QCT to ensure it will always be a place of rare beauty and freedom.
From 1 October 2007 all adult unguided track visitors contribute $5 to the QCT Tribute Fund. QCT Tribute tickets are purchased from the dedicated ticket machine located at Picton Town Wharf prior to departure on a track experience.
The money collected through the tribute system is invested in a trust fund that will be used to look after the best interests of the track.
