Dave at Marbourough Sounds Adventure Co. did a great job accommodating us on the QCT. I was biking and my wife was hiking, and Dave put together a great itinerary that let us both enjoy the QCT at our ability level. I hired a bike from Dave and when I had a problem with the rear wheel, he had another...

We did the one day guided Sea Kayaking in Kenepura Sound with this company as a 'rest day' from walking the QCT. The company operates out of Portages resort where we were staying. There was some confusion as to starting time and we weren't ready at the appointed time but since there was just our group of 4 she was...

Thank you for your review. We love to hear how our visitors enjoyed their trip, and also any areas that can be improved. We were concernd at the comments in relation to our gear. We have checked all our sea kayaks at Portage and cannot find one without front foot pedals. I am wondering if you somehow missed the part...

We have just arrived back home after walking the Queen Charlotte Track with MSAC. We did the 5 day guided walk. Everything went smoothly. Our bags were at the hotel just as we were told they would be. The bags were roomier than I had imagined so no tough decisions about what to leave behind. We were collected right on...

We had the privelege of spending 3 nights and 4 days hiking the Queen Charlotte Track with amazing sights and an equally amazing company. From Dave, the unassuming and unflappable owner of Marlborough Sounds Adventure Co..... to Ray, the 70+ uber guide and wikipedia of all things New Zealand....the experience ranks as a highlight and bucket trip for us

We gathered a group of friends together and convinced them that the way to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday was to do the Freedom Walk on the Queen Charlotte Track in the beautiful Marlborough Sounds. It couldn't have been a better organised or more fun experience if we had tried. The weather was perfect and the dolphins accompanied us on...

In February 2010 we joined a group of seven people trekking the 71 kms of the beautiful Queen Charlotte Track with the Marlborough Sounds Adventure Co. Ltd in Picton.
We could not have asked for a more competent and amiable guide who was ably assisted by a photographer who seemed to be everywhere at once ensuring that no photo opportunity...
