Boat across Lake Hauroko to the start of the track, climbing steeply up the Hauroko Burn to Lake Roe Hut, set beautifully amongst solid granite outcrops. Traverse along the tops of the Pleasant Range with spectacular views of Dusky Sound and the surrounding mountain ranges before descending steeply to Loch Maree. Travel along the Seaforth River to Supper Cove.

Hollyford Track Freedom Plus Walk

Step into the dramatic Hollyford Valley in Fiordland National Park and you enter a world that has remained largely unchanged for thousands of years. The scenery will inspire you - unspoiled and ever changing. Experience snow-capped mountains with jagged peaks, rain forests and rivers, sand-dunes and surf. You can even take a stunning scenic flight to Milford Sound.
