Guide

Walks

Get to know Marlborough step by step, via walking tracks to alpine peaks, golden trails on working farms and native bush walks in the Marlborough Sounds.

Marlborough walks can be as challenging as Mount Tapuae-o-Uenuku, as beautiful as the Queen Charlotte Track and as relaxing as the Taylor River reserve.

Whether you’re hiking for a day or a week, staying in a tent, hut or lodge, you’ll love the pace of Marlborough.

Molesworth East West Route walk

This multiday walk in Marlborough’s Molesworth area is an opportunity for fit trampers with high levels of off-track experience to explore an incredible landscape in two conservation areas.

The 5-6 day East West Route links the Kahutara River in Clarence (Ka Whata Tu o Rakihouia) Conservation Park with the Sedgemere Lakes area in the Molesworth Recreation Reserve.

Trampers are advised to allow for a few extra days to complete the walk.

A permit is required for travel above Saxton Hut between 1 January and 30 April.
