Note: The Boatshed Cafe & Bar at Punga Cove is closed until 27 August. An alternative option if you'd like lunch is to be dropped at Punga Cove and pick up at Furneaux Lodge.
If you choose the 10am departure, you need to be a fit walker to make it to Punga Cove in time to catch the afternoon boat.
Join us for the scenic boat ride to Furneaux Lodge, located at the head of Endeavour Inlet, to begin this easy but beautiful day walk.
Start your day with a coffee and morning tea at Furneaux Lodge, or head straight onto the Queen Charlotte Track. This well-formed coastal section of the track winds around the inlet, through lush native regenerating bush abundant in tree ferns and birdlife, and crosses trickling streams, including a swing bridge.
If there’s time, enjoy pizza and a drink at Punga Cove before meeting us at the jetty at 3.15pm for the cruise back to Picton.
