The highest point in the marlborough sounds - Mt Stokes, an epic sunrise spot

Hike up to Mt Stokes, Marlborough Sounds

 

Each week, we highlight our fave tramping trails in New Zealand for day and multi day hikes across Nelson Tasman (and beyond!)

MT STOKES, MARLBOROUGH SOUNDS

This is the highest point in the Marlborough Sounds at 1203m, and has absolutely incredible views of the surrounding area. The track is well formed but expect a steep climb, with rocks and roots underfoot 🌴 Allow yourself around 4 hours to complete this route!


Getting there
From Queen Charlotte Drive turn-off at Linkwater. The Keneperu Road is narrow and winding and keep going until the end.
