Weather conditions can change very quickly at this altitude.

The Marlborough Sounds are located in the north of New Zealand's South Island and are an extensive network of estuaries. They were created by the rise in sea levels that caused the flooding of river valleys. The result was a breathtaking landscape of rolling hills and untouched nature. Leave your rental car and hike the 70 km Queen Charlotte Track to experience the beautiful scenery up close. Alternatively you can explore the Marlborough Sounds by kayak.
