The route takes you over the magnificent landscapes of Fiordland National Park, with majestic views of mountain lakes and waterfalls. Listen to your pilot's narration before landing at Milford Sound. On arrival, you're greeted by your guide and transferred to a ferry boat that whisks you away to the Milford Track.
Then set off to explore a section of one of New Zealand's most famed Great Walks. It's a gentle 1.5- to 2-hour hike to the Giant Gate Falls, located near the end of the typically 4-day route.
