4.0/5
Took a trip with Beachcomber Cruises to Ships Cove to start the walk and collected afterwards from Furneaux Lodge.
Walk was superb - loved it - good weather helped. The cruise was good, with some interesting commentary but not enough as to who Captain Cook was, why he came, what he was doing and who is Queen Charlotte? This extra information would have been very interesting.

4.5/5
Very knowledgeable captain, with a lot of interesting details about the area.
Obviously, the area itself is fantastic and has to be seen by boat to be truly appreciated.

Absolutely beautiful mail boat run on a Wednesday with a very attentive, informed and caring (environment) and enthusiastic post man!
It was wonderful and interesting, rain no hassele for catching good spirits! And, on of the most awesome, nicest, beautiful places is Ship Cove, where we had half an hour wonderful stay.

Loved this trip.
Jason was an excellent guide and passionate about the natural environment. Loved the dogs which met us at each jetty and found the atmosphere at the Captain Cook beach peaceful and ancient. A most excellent afternoon.

Morning taxi to Queen Charlotte Track was very efficient.
Return taxi was substituted by the mail boat, but was one hour late in arriving.

Walked a section of the Queen Charlotte Track.
We had booked a short walk, too short, so were advised to try a different walk but did not charge us any more - thoughtful and helpful! Skipper funny and informative!

Easy and convenient service.
Some good information from boat driver heading out of to the Marlborough Sounds. We received a 10% discount with our Top 10 card. We got to do a couple of the mail deliveries around the Sounds on the way back which was great.
