Independent Walks

As a general rule, if you are more independent of spirit but would still like certain elements such as your accommodation, transport and daily lunch arranged, then the independent packages are for you. Our Inclusive options cater for those who would like meals included. We also have Standard and Upgrade options available depending on the type of accommodation you seek. Standard packages feature simple ensuite-style accommodation, normally without a view of the ocean, while Upgrades have more modern ensuite-style unit.

We have designed a wide range of packages with varying inclusions to suit every need and budget for the Queen Charlotte Track. Check out our quick reference table below to help choose the right package for you.
