Picton, located at the head of Queen Charlotte Sound, is the gateway to New Zealand’s South Island.  Most visitors come through this charming little town for one of two reasons — to hop on one of the ferries that ply the waters of Cook Inlet between South Island and North Island … or to go on a five-day tramp [hike] on the world-famous Queen Charlotte Track.
