Long described as the “finest walk in the world”, you will traverse the heart of New Zealand’s wild fiord country.

Travel by coach along the shores of Lake Wakatipu through the sweeping landscape to Te Anau. Continue along the shores of Lake Te Anau to the boat harbour at Te Anau Downs. Enjoy a hot drink aboard an hour long boat journey to the northern end of the lake and the start of the Milford Track. Disembarking, you will walk a short 1.6km (1 mile) to the historic Glade House.

Here we enjoy a scrumptious lunch from the kitchen. After visiting the small museum there, you’ll follow the Clinton River through rich Beech forest.

On the return, you will walk up the Glade Burn Track for a fantastic view of Lake Te Anau before descending down a dry river bed to the return launch.
