Trip Intinerary

Begin with a short boat ride to Sandfly Point. The guided walk meanders alongside the cascading Arthur River through lush rainforest to Giant Gate. This spectacular waterfall is best viewed from the large swing bridge spanning the river. Walking at an easy going pace in a small group, your knowledgeable, friendly Trips & Tramps nature guide will point out the native plants and birds inhabiting this lush environment, and share the track’s stories, bringing the history of the area to life. Your guide will escort you back to the airport to meet your pilot.

Departing Milford Sound keep your camera handy as you fly past cascading waterfalls, over the highest snow-capped peak in the Fiordland National Park and backcountry rivers.
