Description
Steeped in awe-inspiring natural beauty, the Milford Track is a walk so legendary that Rudyard Kipling himself declared it to be the “finest walk in the world”.
Hiking Milford Track in its entirety all the way to Milford Sound will take you four days, but those with time constraints will still be able to enjoy parts of this incredible trail.
A guided trip lasting one day is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the most stunning parts of the Milford Track.
Your guide will meet you in Milford Sound, where you will board a water taxi for a short ride to Sandfly Point. Thereafter, embark on a guided walk in idyllic surrounds that takes you along the end section of the Milford Track.
You will be accompanied by a nature guide who will tell you all about the Milford Track’s illustrious history, as well as point out fascinating native plants and birds. An easygoing pace means you will have ample time to marvel at the stunning scenery and compose photographs.
The walk is an easy one that runs at a relaxed pace and does not involve any steep climbs.

Hi mary. Unfortunately, you can't fit both the Milford track day walk from Queenstown and the Te Anau glow worm caves tour on the same day. The reason being is that the Milford track day walk finishes at 4.30pm and the boat brings you back from Te Anau Downs to Te Anau by 5.30pm for a 6pm coach connection back to Queenstown. In order to catch this last coach back to Queenstown you would have to do the early glow worm cave tour at 2pm. You would need to go down to Te Anau the night before and do the Milford Track day walk the following day.
