    I solo hiked the Milford Track in late November 2022. This is the only Great Walk where you have to pre-book all the huts in addition to arranging a boat shuttle to the start of the track and to the end away from Sandfly Point. I had a really good time there, amazing nature, countless waterfalls and good company in the Huts.
    I hope I was able to bring some kind of relaxation and calmness into your life with this video. I would also be happy if it gives you self-confidence, maybe going on a hike yourself.
    If you have done this hike before or will maybe do it in the future, please let me know your experience in the comments.

    Absolutely love this video, my best friend and soulmate hiked the Milford track 15 years ago this week and your video perfectly captures the awesome natural beauty and majesty of this walk and the silent solo hike lends it a poignant reminder that whilst our lives move on the landscape remains. Maybe I'll hike it again solo myself one day.The best video I have watched on the Milford trek by far. Love NZ the best country in the world!

    Great work getting footage of Sutherland Falls @12:19. It can get a lot of water spraying there and is the highest waterfall in New Zealand. Love the music.

    Did the track in 1978 with my two younger cousins. NEVER FORGET IT! The international friends we met were not all down to the 3 bottles of whiskey I took in my pack, my pack got lighter as our enjoyment grew.

      @@nuvesv6933 i lived in nz most of my life, living in australia now... photos and video dont do the milford track justice, you have to go see for yourself, it puts you in perspective to your place in this world surrounded by these huge mountains and its natural wonders.....very spiritual i thought. go do it.

    Thankyou for making and sharing this wonderful film. I hiked it in 1991 and highly treasure the memory. It looks like the huts have changed, but the natural elements not so much (including snoring humans I gather 🙂).
    BTW you might appreciate the similarly beautiful work of @AaronRossPhoto (on UA-cam).

    What backpack do you use? It looks around 40L looks lke a great size for backpacking New Zealand.
    I'm considering backpacking New Zealand soon, but I currently only have a 65L pack, which is a bit bulky overkill for international travel.
