About the Milford Track

Here's as little information about the Milford Track that we're walking starting Saturday, November 29. We are walking the track independantly (no guides).

Time:

4 days

Distance:

53.5 km

The Milford Track (53.5 kilometres) is in the heart of spectacular Fiordland National Park, part of the Te Wāhipounamu – South West New Zealand World Heritage Area and is administered by DOC on behalf of the New Zealand public. Located in the southwest of the South Island, the track starts at the head of Lake Te Anau and finishes at Milford Sound.

This was the tramp that we had to book ahead of time, since it is very popular and only so many people can start per day. We are looking forward to the adventure!
