  • A no bullshit video about what the Milford Track in New Zealand was like in April 2018, staying in the DOC huts.
    The world-renowned Milford Track is an easy enough 4 day walk along valleys carved by glaciers, taking you though through ancient rain-forests and past many cascading waterfalls. You will get wet, cold, tired and wet again, but it's totally worth it; even you don't have great views from the Mackinnon Pass!

    I did it in December of 1984 when i was 38 years old. One of the best experiences of my life.

    Thank you for a great video! I walked this track about 17 years ago and this brought back a lot of good memories.

    We hiked the Milford Track in 2005. Lovely weather & down right hot at times we swam in the rivers to cool down
    One of my favorite memories ♥️ and the loo with a view was fun

    At least you admit you snore. My mum when went hiking got up after snoring the entire night and claimed she hadn’t slept. So annoyed as I know she slept as I didn’t get any sleep

    You forgot to mention the killer sandflies :-)

      Surprisingly didn't see many at all! Even at sandfly point. I think it was too cold for them.

      @@triggerhappytrails yes we just got back and we were eaten alive especially near the water, was shorts and t-shirt weather for most of it. Shame you had cloud on the pass. Thanks for sharing your video.

      Sandflies at Milford are a marine insect. It rains that often and that heavy they don't know where the sea ends and the sky starts.

    what's the gear you used to film this? :) I filmed the southern half of Te Araroa (ua-cam.com/video/_19rcH1tW1I/v-deo.html if you're interested) with my Sony a6300 plus feiyutech a1000 gimbal plus tripod and am planning to hike kungsleden in Sweden this summer if corona has left us by then. Not sure whether I want to carry that much gear again, so I'm looking for lighter options giving me simmilar results.

    Hi guys I would like to know what month of the year you would recommend me to visit this beautiful park, you know Latin Americans we do not like the cloudy and rainy days, thanks from Argentina.

    • @triggerhappytrails

      Hey Alejandra! End of December and Beginning of Jan are the most popular dates because it's the height of summer and New Zealand Holidays. But the great thing is, if you get tickets there should only be you and the other 40 people who have tickets for the huts. You can never garantee sun in these parts of the South Island but you should have a great chance in summer. We did it at the end of the season end of April and we had only 1 full day of sun, the rest was cloudy, often very rainy! Hope it helps x
