The Milford Track is renowned for its dramatic alpine scenery, clear rivers and ancient beech forest. The day walk explores the first section of this classic track as far as the Clinton Hut.

Begin with a short coach transfer from Te Anau to Te Anau Downs before boarding a catamaran for a one hour lake cruise to the head of Lake Te Anau and the start of the Milford Track. Our vessel has a spacious viewing deck where you can relax and soak up the stunning scenery. During the cruise the skipper provides an interesting commentary while you enjoy a complimentary tea or coffee.

From Glade Wharf, the track follows the Clinton River to Glade House for lunch.

A specialist nature guide leads a 4 – 5 hour leisurely walk on a gentle gradient (11 kms return) through forest, grassy flats and wetlands with a maximum of 12 walkers per guide. There is comprehensive commentary by the nature guide pointing out native birds and plants and detailing the regions history.

Following the guided walk, return by catamaran and then coach to Te Anau.
