Experience the rugged beauty of the Fiordland National Park on a thrilling adventure that will take you through some of New Zealand's most stunning landscapes via a 4-day walk on the Milford Track. Meet in Queenstown where we will rest at a hostel in town before we ride a 3-hour bus to Te Anau and hop on a ferry for a 2-hour cruise across Lake Te Anau to the start of the Milford Track -- Glade Wharf. Over four days, we'll hike through lush rainforests, over towering mountains, and along crystal-clear rivers, all while taking in breathtaking views of fjords and valleys. At the end of the track, a short ferry across Milford Sound awaits you, or you can extend this with an optional 2-hour cruise on the world-famous Milford Sound. No matter what turn you take on the track, our experienced NZSL guides will lead you through this unforgettable journey, ensuring your safety and providing insights into the history and ecology of the area.
