We got to do Day 1 of this track and it was worth both the time and the money. Just great. Such beauty in the bush and on the walk from the boat ride to the valleys to the wild life and plants. Loved it.

All of the positive reviews you read about this trek are not superfluous. This trek is simply unforgettable. If you want a walk that gives you the whole kit and caboodle of trekking, without too much strain - this is it. The track itself is very diverse. It's constantly changing vistas, and different walking environs never stop to stun. So many times we stopped and simply all said "woooooow". With only 40 people on your part of the trek at any one time, you also have this natural wonderland essentially to yourself. Mackinnon Pass is visually arresting. Some other tips? - Take strong insect repellent. The sand flies are everywhere, in parts. They only like you when you stop to walk, and the hutts are all safe havens. But life will be more pleasant with repellent. Possibly unbearable, without. - The Day 3 descent is long. Keep going (feels like ages) until you get to the bottom of the mountain. There is a hutt with coffee and tea. Walking sticks are only really needed for this day 3 descent. We didn't have any, but they may help. - Definitely go and have a look at the waterfall on Day 3. The largest in NZ. - Allow time on Day 4 to spend some time at the waterfall. It's about an hour walking from the boat. - Definitely take ear plugs. There are snorers, and they become the talk of the group. - Anything you don't eat, you have to carry out. So don't overpack. All rubbish has to get carried out. - Definitely take rain gear. - There is a swim hole every night, which is cold, but a brilliant shower. - There is loads of water along the route. So you don't need to carry too much. Just go and do it! You won't regret it.

We've done the track twice, both with heavy rains and limited visibility. We figured it just bad luck but we've learned otherwise since.Quotes from rangers & locals: "I didn't see the view until my fifth or sixth time"; in response to someone who got good weather, "you're one of the lucky few"; 'Dumpling hut is the third wettest spot in the world'.Both times the track was temporarily closed- once due to gale force winds over the mountain pass (plus sleet) and the second for trail flooding around 165 cm. Walking through heavy rains for two days straight and limited visibility for more, including over the pass, occurred. Others had it worse around the time we went. It's not bad luck, it's typical. There is much beauty. However, you don't have to do the track to see it. The drive to Milford will provide waterfall & forest views. A day hike up Routeburn from the Divide will provide great mountain views. We have done Routeburn with mixed weather (& enjoyed it). Given that Routeburn is drier with better views, we'd recommend it over Milford.

We took the cruise along Milford Sound. There was a slight mist over the top of the mountains which was for great photos. It was very windy so you need to be wrapped up - take your camera and you will not be disappointed.

我们是在2009年完成的这次徒步旅行,所以我的评论可能有些过时。最好像一名侦查员,并且做足去米尔福德步行道的准备。在徒步旅行之前我们就训练了好几个月,但是最后一天我还是累的不行。我的丈夫和我作为独自旅行者完成了这次徒步旅行,但是我们经常很幸运能够遇到能够带路的徒步旅行者跟我们一起行走。他们能提供淋浴和热巧克力,但是你要为这种奢侈花大把钱。徒步旅行的前两天都是沿着河流和峡谷直行而走的。驻扎的小营房很舒适,但是一月份中旬还是很冷。第三天是此次出行最棒的一天。这一天我们向上爬爬到了顶部的麦金农通道,然后开始向山的另一侧爬。顶部的景色美极啦,美的令人窒息。我们特别幸运,整个徒步旅行过程中天气一直很好,并且能从山的顶部欣赏到辉煌的美景。要不是那时有点风,真想一辈子都呆在那里!我们从山的另一侧去了新西兰最高的瀑布萨瑟兰瀑布那里。最后一天也是最漫长的一天,我感觉难熬极了,因为我们还要赶上最后的轮渡。确保你的时间要充足!然而,等你最后完成的时候,感觉自己脚趾沉浸在米尔福德湾中,感觉是一种升华,这种成就感使你觉得整个过程都值得去做。

We have now done this track twice, each time the comfortable way, with guides, three course meals and hot baths each night, and drying facilities, hot drinks at morning and afternoon tea and lunchtime (pretty good when you are wet and cold). The views in the rain are also fantastic: Waterfalls everywhere, drifts of misty rain, remarkably varied scenery. Everywhere evidence of the force of nature: new track markings because of recent avalanches, scars down the mountain with loss of trees (from the avalanches). The beech forests of the Clinton valley where every tree is an ecosystem in itself.This time we had fine weather for the first three days and so got to see the full majesty of the mountains at the top of MacKinnon pass, and had time to take photographs of all the alpine (and other) plants in bloom. If you like walking, this is a must do. (and if you do it the easy way you still could be doing it in your nineties..using two sticks.)

What a magnificent trail and experience. 54 kilometers of incredible beauty and diversity. Hiking through forests, wetlands, prairies and over MacKinnon Pass. Traversing rock strewn avalanche passes and crossing rivers and streams on picturesque suspension bridges. Beautiful ponds and lakes and at times waterfalls too numerous to count! All the while following the beautiful Clinton and Arthur rivers toward Milford Sound. If you have the desire and opportunity to experience this adventure my advice is to do so. Just a few thoughts that might be helpful.1. Yes you can hike this trail as long as you are reasonably fit. I can not stress this enough. I did the hike guided with Ultimate Hikes. We had 37 people in our group ranging from age 19-75. Everyone finished the entire hike. A few people did look a little tired at the end of certain days, but by the next morning everyone seemed ready to go! The huts are spaced reasonably apart so that the hike each day is very doable.2. You can hike at your own pace. We had 4 guides. The first walked as fast as the fastest people wanted to hike. The second walked as slow as the slowest people wanted to hike, and the other two just stayed in the middle. Everyone walked at the pace they wanted, took breaks when they wanted, etc. 3. The trail is very well maintained. 1. Almost all sections of the trail are easy to walk with good footing. The exception is the 1800 +/- vertical ascent over MacKinnon pass and the descent. These sections are steeper, rockier, and the terrain is more uneven. 2. Take the optional trails, especially to Sutherland Falls. It is truly spectacular, especially close up.4. The weather is unpredictable. We had two beautiful sunny days and two days where it rained continuously. When we climbed above tree line to go over the pass the wind was so strong that the rain came at us sideways. My advice is to prepare and pack for wet conditions. If you have great weather the whole time you won’t need everything you brought but if you have a few bad weather days you will be glad you did. I recommend: 1. A good raincoat 2. A thick plastic bag to line the inside of your pack to keep everything dry. 3. A rain cover for the outside of your backpack. 4. A rain hat – much more comfortable than the hood of your raincoat. Outdoor Research (OR) makes a great one called the Seattle Sombrero. 5. Light wool hat and light gloves 6. Water proof boots 7. Boot gators. If the trail is wet or your have to cross streams they will help keep your boots dry. Again OR makes good ones. 8. Some type of waterproof protection for your camera. 9. Some people had waterproof pants. If you are the type of person who gets cold easily then I think it is a good idea. I did not bring them and was fine, but make sure that at the very least you have some type of long pants that are not made of cotton. *Ultimate Hikes provides backpacks, backpack covers, plastic liners, and raincoats if you need them at no charge. The backpacks and plastic liners were of good quality but the other items were only of mediocre quality. I would recommend bringing your own raincoat and backpack cover.5. The lodges were great 1. The common area where you eat meals, prepare lunches, socialize, relax, etc. is very spacious, comfortable, and attractive. 2. Shared dorm rooms are sufficiently large so everyone has room for gear, etc. 3. Private rooms are a nice size with private baths. Almost like a nice motel room. 4. Clothes wash areas have everything you need and the drying rooms work very well. Usually clothes are dry in 3 hours or so. Boots usually take all night but are dry by the time you awake. Because of this you can wear the same clothes to hike each day and they are clean and dry. 5. Power usually comes on at 6:45 and stays on till 10pm. Hot water is available during these times. If you would like to wake up earlier or stay up later, I recommend a small headlamp.6. Food - You do not have to bring food. Breakfast and suppers were large and U. H. provided a large quantity and variety of food to prepare your own lunch. There were also snacks in the lodge when you arrived up until supper time. The quality of the food was excellent. Venison, steak, fish, pasta, chicken. All plentiful and tasty. I gained a few pounds during the four days.7. Guides – the guides were young, all in their twenties, but very knowledgeable of the trail, plants, wildlife, etc. Everyone that I spoke to in our group was extremely pleased with them. And they all had a genuine warmth and enthusiasm that was endearing.8. Ultimate Hikes – Top notch. They have been doing this for a long time and it shows. They exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend them. If you are considering hiking the Milford Track I hope this review encourages you to do so. The hike itself will take you four days. I believe the memories will be with you for a lifetime!

Spent 5 days (ex-Queenstown) doing the guided Milford Track trip with Ultimate Hikes. As a New Zealander I was a little concerned that I would feel like a sheep being herded with 49 others, and that the track wouldn't live up to it's international reputation. I needn't have worried: Ultimate Hikes have mastered guiding on the Milford. The four guides with our party were fantastic, the huts were pretty comfortable, the food was great and I didn't feel 'herded' at all. The party was a mix of many nationalities, cleverly introduced to one another on the first evening. The only 'tour party' aspect was that we were asked to wear a name badge for the duration. This actually made it easier to meet and chat with others, so made complete sense. The track itself is harder than I expected, rough in some places, steep up and downhill on the third day and long (the last day is 22km, and it's NOT flat despite the elevations on the map suggesting it is!). I had trained for it and I'm very glad I did - this is no 'walk in the park'. Worst night was a Milford Lodge after finishing the track: sweltering hot room, couldn't sleep, snuck out and borrowed a giant fan from the lounge room in desperation. Horrid, if I'd had a mosquito net (for the sand-flies) I would have slept on the grass outside and had a better night.Last day was a nice wind-down with a cruise on Milford Sound and then bus back to Queenstown via Te Anau and the pie shop. I think this trip was the best money I have ever spent. My photos were taken in an old iphone, imagine what you could do with an even better camera!

Won't go into the walk itself, as plenty of others have covered this.Booked the guided walk through Ultimate Hikes, we thought - this is typically something you only do once, so do it well - very glad and happy we did. It certainly makes the hiking more fun when there is a cold beer and hot meal waiting for you each afternoon.Ensuite rooms are cosy, clean and beds are large and comfortable. Showers always had hot water for us, with good pressure.Food served each day was of surprisingly good quality, considering the remote locations and there was always plenty of it - you won't be losing any weight on this walk!Lights go out at 10 each night, but that's ok as we were ready for sleep.1 of our party was not very fit, this was not a problem, it just means you move a little slower and take a little longer, no issue as you have all day. In fact it gives you more chance to take in the amazing scenery!Most of the walk is on well laid paths that require little effort. One caution - there are a couple of sections, crossing bolder-strewn rockfalls and a steep section downward from the saddle where it could be quite difficult, bordering on very hard, if you are not reasonably confident with balance and agility. Take 2 walking poles, you won't need them most of the time, but very handy when you do.Summary - I don't think anyone, of any background, could do this walk and not feel awed by the unspoilt scenery and sense of peacefulness.If you like us, have talked about it for years, get off your butt and do it, it will be one of your life's best decisions!

A fantastic walk but book early as it sells out fast. Remember that this is in the wettest region of the world so expect to get soaked - take suitable foot wear (not trainers) and warm clothes (not jeans) and of course waterproofs. Why do Americans walk in trainers? This is serious ankle twisting country but our hiking boots received some attention from our New World cousins as if they'd never seen boots before. If you twist your ankle you will have a serious problem as the only way out is via helicopter. This is NOT a walk in the park.Take insect repelent - the sand flies are in a league of their own and their bites itch for days.The views from the pass are awesome so if you have time after day two and its clear then get up there as it may well be raining the day after.
