Really enjoyed this trip
It was great to get a taste of walking the Milford track. The falls were well worth the visit. Highly recommend this trip.

Lovely day walk
Was a nice and quiet walk, mostly flat. Waterfall had not much water in May but the path was lovely and saw many birds on the way. The water way itself was a lovely landscape.

I had a good discount and I was alone both way, I was very lucky. The diver was very nice too. Amazing day walk.

Best way for a day trip to Milford track
When i came to New Zealand for the first time 7 years ago, i didn't know it was possible to do a day walk in the Milford Track. Unfortunately you have to book in advance (like one year before) if you want to do the whole track, and because of covid i wasn't sure that i could be able to do it. The best option was to do a day walk. After the booking, I received an email from the staff asking me when i wanted to start and when they can pick me up. I started at 8.30 am and i took the water taxi at 1 pm. So they give you plenty of time if you want to walk a little bit further than the Falls. the last boat is at 4.30 pm. I recommend totally !
