Overview
Explore the heart of the Fiordland National Park from Te Anau on this 1 Day Milford Track Guided Walk and experience up close the renowned Milford Track.
A very popular trail even for day-trippers and other visitors who are strapped for time, the Milford Track follows a historic route through lush rainforest, pristine rivers, and dramatic waterfalls. The entire track can be completed over four days of tramping, but if you are unable to join the 4-day hike, sign up for a Milford Track Guided Day Walk instead. It’s enough time to experience firsthand some of the most impressive of Fiordland’s landscapes, which will leave you with unforgettable memories and give you plenty of photo opportunities.
Your journey starts in Te Anau where you will meet your guide for a short trip to Te Anau Downs by coach. Make your way to the starting point of the Milford Track on a cruise across the serene Lake Te Anau as you have hot drink in hand and spectacular scenery in full view.
The official starting point of the “Finest Walk in the World” is at Glade House that you can reach as you make your way along the Glade Burn. Before moving on to the path that will take you across the Clinton River, fuel up with a hot drink and some lunch at the Glade House. Afterwards, cross the swing bridge and enter the magical beech forest.
Keep your eyes peeled for the variety of spectacular scenery that unfolds as you explore this path. Walk beneath the beech trees and listen to the soothing sounds of the river. Let the resident birds serenade you with their sweet songs as our knowledgeable and experienced nature guides provide a rich detail of your splendid surroundings so you may learn to interpret the signs of nature yourself. Learn about the history of the track as you get acquainted with the native plants and birds endemic to the area.
The terrain is relatively easy and the walk can be leisurely. The group is kept small at 12 people per guide so you get to experience the Milford Track uncrowded. If you want to spend a fantastic day outdoors surrounded by nature and have a fun time as you go along, this 1 Day Milford Track Guided Walk is perfect for you.
