Stunning Scenery

We walked the Hollyford on a guided tour, and would highly recommend it. After spending the day walking through spectacular scenery you are met by hot showers, comfortable accomodation and superb food and wine - if you're a vegetarian you will be well catered for.

Wonderful 3 day Trek

Booked through Hiking NZ, this was a wonderful trek. The first day was quite long, and although it was listed as an easy trek, probably due to the lovely overnight accommodation, a reasonable level of fitness is required. The scenery was spectacular along the entire...More

A 3 day hike in rainforest on the beautiful West Coast of the South Island of NZ. Must be reasonably fit.

Doing one of the epic New Zealand hiking trails without Guides

The Hollyford hiking trail can be done guided or going by yourselves; we decided that we would opt for the second option. Trips and Tramps transported us to Milford Sound and then we were flown into Martins Bay airstrip. The short walk to Martins Bay...More

We were very lucky with the weather, the group and the guide. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. Special thanks to Graham Scott, our guide. His story telling and knowledge of fauna and flora is inspiring.More

Is the track non-technical enough to wear trail running shoes as opposed to boots? I'm a trail runner and prefer to wear my running shoes whenever possible because of the greater flexibility and ability to dry out faster. When my boots get soaked, they stay soaked! Both my boots and trail runners have good grip. Situations where I'd prefer boots would be long periods of steep terrain with minimal foot holdings, or boulder hopping.

Hello, I am planning for our hike and looking to buy hiking boots. I will select a waterproof boot, but is there any reason, other than ankle support, to get a higher boot, rather than an ankle height boot? Thank you Paula Manderfield

As a keen hiker (or tramper as they're called in NZ) a proper hiking boot will not just give ankle support but also prevent toes being bruised if the ankle is well supported & give better grip on slopes. You walk 19km on the... More
