🇳🇿 At the Trail's End: A Slice of Paradise in Picton

Picton is the ultimate launchpad for exploring the magic of Marlborough Sounds and the legendary Queen Charlotte Track. If you only have time for one hike, make it the Snout Track—a 12km (4-hour) round-trip journey that feels like stepping into a dream. 🌿 Snout Track Highlights Two Route Options: Ridge Trail: Soak in aerial views of the Sounds’ emerald waters. Bob’s Bay Trail: Wander along secluded coves, close enough to dip your toes. The Final Stretch: After a sun-exposed path, dive into lush bushland (3.8km). Listen for birdsong and rustling leaves—then BAM—you emerge at The Snout View, where: Turquoise waters meet endless green peaks. Silence reigns—just you, the sea, and sky. ✨ 💡 Why This Hike? ✔️ Less crowded than Queen Charlotte Track. ✔️ Varied landscapes: Forests, ridges, and secret bays. ✔️ Rewarding payoff: That "I’m in a postcard" moment at the end. #HikeNZ #MarlboroughSounds #HiddenGems #PictonAdventures #TravelGoals
