The Finest Walk in the World

A 53 km, four day Great Walk through the heart of Fiordland, from the head of Lake Te Anau over the Mackinnon Pass to Milford Sound. Glacier carved valleys, mossy rainforest and Sutherland Falls make it New Zealand's most storied tramping route.

Great Walks season runs late October to late April and huts sell out within minutes of bookings opening in early July, so set a reminder and book the moment the DOC system goes live.
