Review of the self-guided Milford Track day walk, with water taxi access, Giant Gate Falls, practical tips, price, weather, and booking advice.
“Perfect weather, few trees fallens, but found a way to get round them. Gaint Gate Falls absolutely breathe taking. I would do the whole track again. It was such a great day. Ill be bacm again very soon. Thank you 😊”
Combine an 11-km Milford Track walk with a two-hour Milford Sound cruise, waterfalls, wildlife, cliff views, and flexible timing.
“Breathtaking and all of the staff were friendly and pleasant. It wasn't very clearly marked where I was catching the water taxi to the track, but found some friendly folks to ask. I'd suggest those with small kids to be aware it's a couple km walk from the water taxi to the ferry port. That was a little confusing as well.”
Cruise Lake Wānaka to Mou Waho Island for rare birds, a glacial lake, mountain views, and a self-guided nature walk.
“Great views of the island lake within a lake at the top, a short hike but does have some tricky ish sections”
Pick a boat, a rotor, a track or a cellar door.
