After the wedding, we’re planning a 5 days | 4 nights hike along the Milford Track one of New Zealand’s most breathtaking Great Walks. We’ll walk through mountains, rainforests, and valleys, staying in DOC huts each night. It’s not for everyone but if you’re up for the adventure, I can guarantee it will be amazing. WE NEED TO BOOK HIS 1 YEAR IN ADVANCE - DEADLINE FOR RSVP DEC 2025

🧠 What You Need to Know Before Saying Yes -Budget $500 USD per person for this -You’ll hike 4 days in a row, carrying all your own gear and food -Daily distances are 10–21 km (6–13 miles), with one day climbing over a mountain pass -You need to be comfortable walking 5–7 hours a day with a loaded pack -No technical climbing, but terrain is uneven -Expect rain as Fiordland is one of the wettest places on Earth but we will be going at the best possible time with the least chance of rain -Make sure you look up a gear list for multi-day tramping to come prepared (or buy down there) -You’ll sleep in shared DOC huts (no showers, no cell signal, basic bunk beds) -No shops, no food on track, you need to be fully self-sufficient -You don’t need to be an expert hiker, but a good base fitness level is important -We’ll help coordinate bookings and transport More detail here: www.doc.govt.nz/globalassets/documents/parks-and-recreation/tracks-and-walks/southland/milford-track-brochure.pdf
