Titoki is set in an incredibly magical place in the Sounds - Lochmara. We reached Titoki by the Queen Charlottes Track which we started at Ships Cove a few days earlier, by the time we arrived it felt like a huge accomplishment and much celebration ensued! We enjoyed the walk off the official QCT to Lochmara - Titoki's pathway down from the Lochmara path was exciting, felt like we were climbing our way through the forest - clearly marked and though going down hill after hiking the QCT it wasn't excessive. We never walked back up to the track as we kept to the water after our arrival.
Our bags were transported with Cougar Line to Titoki and we met Peter who offered us a wonderful introduction to the area and made us feel truly welcomed. We stayed two nights and it wasn't long enough. Our time in the Sounds was a celebration of our Anniversary and boy did Titoki and Lochmara deliver - we experienced the beauty, serenity and magic of what the Sounds has to offer.
We kayaked to Lochmara Lodge which is less than 20 mins (by kayak) away - so if you wanted to enjoy some time with humans and or a yummy ice cream - you can. We kayaked all the way around the Lochmara Sound - stingrays swimming beneath us, opportunities to enjoy the wildlife both above and beneath the water and we ensured we got lots of swims in as well.
Peter helped us with organising some supplies before we arrived - we were on the track for a while so unsure how much food we would have left in our packs. This was a huge help and its was awesome to enjoy some wine at the end of the hike ;)
We highly recommend Titoki and Lochmara. It's a stunning magical place and we can't wait to return.
