Fiordland National Park on New Zealand’s South Island is one of the most dramatic and remote landscapes in the country. This five day guided Pack Free walk takes in the finest sections of four renowned Great Walks including the Milford, Routeburn, Kepler and Hollyford tracks. Snow capped mountains, deep glacier carved valleys, beech forests and pristine alpine rivers are just the beginning.
This flexible journey offers walkers the chance to enjoy each day at their own pace while staying in excellent accommodation. Highlights include a scenic helicopter flight to the Kepler Track and an exhilarating jet boat ride down the Waiau River. Walkers will enjoy the comfort of three nights at the lakefront Distinction Hotel in Te Anau and a special overnight stay on the Milford Mariner, nestled among the towering cliffs of Milford Sound.
Gourmet dinners are served each evening, paired with regional wines and a warm welcome after a day exploring the trails. With expert guides leading the way, this journey combines insight and adventure in equal measure.
This is more than just a walking tour. It is a chance to slow down, breathe the alpine air and take in the wild beauty of Fiordland. Each step brings a fresh perspective and lasting sense of connection to this remarkable part of the world.
