WHAT YOU VISIT
Scenic Sounds Cruise & Mistletoe Bay Walk
Enjoy a leisurely cruise around the winding waterways of Queen Charlotte Sound, named by Captain Cook after the wife of King George III, Queen Charlotte. Here the densely wooded shore is dotted with coves, bays and sandy beaches and the nutrient rich waters of the sound attract seals, seabirds and dolphins, including common, bottlenose and Hector's dolphins.
Mistletoe Bay Trail
Take off on an energizing guided walk on the Mistletoe Bay Trail, part of the Queen Charlotte Track. Generally considered an easy route, the 2,414-meter (1.5 mile) trail boasts stunning views of Waterfall Bay.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
Stellar views abound such as unspoiled natural scenery, lush forests, and scattered settlements that add a spot of color to the coastline. The nutrient-rich waters are a feeding ground for seals, seabirds and dolphins.
