- Monday 11th May: Catch the TrackNet boat from Te Anau Downs across Lake Te Anau to Glade wharf … the start of the Milford track and tramp 5km up to Clinton Hut for our first night.
- Tuesday 12th May: We’ll tramp up the Clinton Valley to the brand new Mintaro hut.
- Wednesday 13th May: Tramp over the McKinnon Pass and down to Dumpling Hut … a side trip to Sutherland Falls can occur for those keen to see NZ’s tallest water fall
- Thursday 14th: Tramp down the Arthur River valley to catch the boat at Sandfly Point. We’ll then be transported back to Te Anau downs for our last night night at e Kūwaha Mātauraka lodge.
