Such an awesome experience and customer service. - I’m so glad we booked to do a day walk on the Milford Track, we weren’t too keen to spend a couple of hours on a boat cruise so this ticked all our boxes. The instructions were easy to follow after booking. We had booked for the 1145hr slot on Thursday 13th. Heading to Milford Sound pays to add in some extra time for travel, but we didn’t expect to arrive so early at 10am. Luckily my offsider had a quick chat to the skipper Logan and asked if we would be able to go over early, Logan said it wasn’t a problem at all and that he would drop a group off and come back for us and 2 others. This meant we hit the track at 1045hr which was awesome because it gave us more time in our day. Logan provided us with lots of information before dropping us off and explained the pickup procedure. We had such a great time on the track enjoying nature at its finest. When we returned back at Sandfly point Logan was docked and we were the only people to go back over. I am so glad we booked this, Fiordland Outdoors did an excellent job in looking after us and special thanks to Logan. We will definitely be back in numbers, cheers Aaron.

Great day walk - The track is mostly flat but with lots of big and not big rocks on several patches of the path, so have the right hike shoes to protect your ankles and you’ll be fine 💪☺️ It took us about 1h30 one way and we stayed 30 minutes at falls taking pictures and eating our sandwiches and then same to travel back to the boat pickup. I’d say start earlier in the day like at 10am max, and then enjoy your hike even at a snail’s pace 😋

Fiordland Outdoors Co.... - Fiordland Outdoors Co. made this self-guided day walk in the Milford Sound Track very easy and fun. Drop-off and pick-up by the water taxi were very prompt and efficient, and the operator was very helpful. This was a fantastic way to hike part of the Milford Sound Track!

Fine and Dandy - This was a nice trek. It was 3.30mi to the waterfall and took about 50-60 minutes to get to. There are a number of rocky areas so be careful not to trip or hurt an ankle. It can get congested and slow you down if you are an aggressive hiker. The costs seemed a tad steep for the 5-6 minute ferry ride so I think there’s some fleecing of tourist going on there. It should reasonably be $40-$50 NZD
