Full disclosure: I received a complimentary tour in order to be able to share this experience with you guys. As always, my opinions are genuine and only my own.
I'm always looking for music to feature in my videos! If you're a musician and are interested, email me at missmarijohnson@gmail.com. Thanks!
Little did you know that 3 years later you'd be doing the PCT with this Nick and easily hiking 33.5 miles in just one day... 😉Really cool to re-watch your old videos! You've come so far Mari (literally haha!) 😊
Haha I know! So wild!
What a wonderful experience! The scenery is so beautiful!
Wow, that hike is unreal!! So beautiful!
Those mountains are so beautiful! Love your vlogs!
Wow, that looks amazing
Enjoyed your trek on the Milford Track! Thanks, look forward to watching more of your travel vlogs.
Looks amazing , great video of a bucket list item of my family's. Cheers.
Love your vlogs Mari! NZ looks so peaceful!
+UberDan thanks Dan! It is very peaceful here!
UberDan it's a great place I live in Dunedin we Even have the steepest street in the world! and I had a amazing view when I went for a walk with scouts amazing place
WOW...just waiting to this kind of stuff again !!!!
love this one!
So wonderful!
One of my favorite vlogs ever. I want to go now. Never would've thought I would want to do something like that!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing. Your editing has gone so far!!!!!
+Catrina Alexis aw thanks so much Catrina! I hope you get to do something like this one day!
Really cool video. Did the Milford Track back in 96, so really good to see how it has evolved as a guided hike. Loved it. Brought back a lot of good memories. Thank you.
wow cool to hear! cheers!
@@mari.johnson The guides are just part of being a tidy Kiwi. We can't have lost trampers left behind, they would spoil the tramp and be soo untidy.
I really enjoyed this video...u always keep laughing just before u finish a sentence..lol..too cute!
love your vlogs !! and hope to see you more in our country !
Thanks!
It's cool to watch this now.... This Mari had no idea she'd be doing the PCT with the kiwi guy she just met. You're doing something right, I'm binge watching your videos in reverse. Your vlogs are great because you seem like an actual fellow human - quirks and all.
OMG IS THAT PLACE REAL LIFE?!? Need to do this! New bucket list item added! Awesome video Mari!
+Jessica Gable haha no I'm pretty sure it's just one big movie set here. Wish you were here!!
Great video!
I remember watching this when you first posted it 😊 You have come a long way to end up living in NZ!
Plus.... NICK!!!!! 😁
Wow, thanks for sticking around that long!! 😊
Was in Milford sound. Wanted to do the hike but pressed for time. Great job with video. Sweet girl, beautiful country. Will go back soon.
Amazing hike, and I love how happy you are when you ride a boat :)
+TMT (Take Me There) :)
A worthy end to a fantastic trek!
+JP Goes Global yes! A boat ride is always a good ending!
Not just a boat ride. A boat ride a the foot of those mountains!
+JP Goes Global I especially LOVE the views from the boat, it definitely makes me want to experience it myself!!
I watched this again just to see Nick and yours first encounter!
haha yay! 🙈
Hi miss ! That look really amazing and I feel so sad for you that didn’t rain ! I hope you had chance to go back in fiord while it rain because that just unbelievable how mountain transforms into waterfall everywhere ... I didn’t do the walk when I visit two year ago now but was raining on the way down to the last lodge it was just so magic ! I actually plan to do the Milford track next March I can’t wait. And again amazing video really help to realise all step for this track !
Wow you make the rain sound lovely! Glad you had enjoyed your walk!
wow!! my home country never cease to amaze me :) putting this on my bucket list
+Ngahia Haggie yeah definitely!
Awesome video!
Nice clip. Well done.
New Zealand looks like the perfect place to hike! Hope to get there on my travels one day :)
+Elizabeth Travels there is so much good hiking here it's unbelievable!!
Unbelievably gorgeous everywhere you look! What an amazing opportunity.
+Nadine Narita it really was! I feel very lucky.
This is described as the worlds finest walk. I had done it twice ,the second time with Ultimate Hikes who were great. I walked around the same time but with a full group, so more crowded but not a problem. This is a walk not to be missed when corvid19 has gone. Go for it if you can!
Looks like a great experience!! How much did it cost you for the 3 days?
I'm so excited to be traveling to NZ! Will be there in February and definitely have this on my to do list....quick question. Are all the lodging accommodations in rooms with 4 bunk beds? It's not an issue but was just wondering if there is lodging for 2. Thanks, love your videos!
Awesome!
If you do the track, hope for a rainy day! Twice as impressive with the temporary waterfalls.
Outstanding
Oh man. This one gave me so many feels. I don't have much set in stone yet for my "bucket list" but I think this one is being added. #magic #youwereinmagicland
+Alyssa Anderson so much magic!! xo
I did the Milford track with ultimate hikes and everything about my experience was wonderful! The scenery was unreal, the food was amazing and I made some great friends!
Just like to add for people watching, there are 2 ways to do this track. guided/unguided. I did unguided but it is still organized way more than other hikes in NZ. there are so many tracks in nz its crazy. DOC is well organized throughout whole country. My preference is definitely unguided cuz cost is way down( no cruise, no meals,etc).Long waiting list for this one as most popular in country but I got on solo last minute from cancellation. A great place is Abel Tasmen as well with hiking or sea kayaking option as well. We did hike on hottest day and then saw guys rocking up with a case of beer in kayak....ugh.
lovely video red nose!
Hello! in that month it was that did the tour ?
Greetings from Mexico!
What a great hiking trip! I wanna do that one of these days. Great job as always! How were you able to plan and find these tours with guides while managing everything?
+A. Olaer a friend recommended the tour to me! So glad she did!
Great video Mari well done. Looks like a well run tramp. Sad to see blackberry along the track though it's an exotic and very invasive species here in Aotearoa.
What a gorgeous scenery! Did you do any training specifically for this multi-day hike?
+The Serial Hobbyist Girl It was even better in person! I walk a lot in general and I did the one-day Tongariro crossing beforehand, but nothing more beyond that. The first and last day were fairly easy, but the second day could be challenging if you're not used to up/down hill trekking.
I was curious because I was thinking about doing something similar this summer but I haven't had time to do any long distance hikes. I do walk quite a bit every day so I'm hoping that's enough! My longest walk in a day, if I decide to go ahead with it, would be about 15 miles. No mountains or anything, pretty flat.
I am Sick and I am watching all your videos love your videos
+Amber 1 feel better!! :)
+Mari Johnson thank you
love it, the red nose is funny
May I know how much is for the lodge/guest houses? And secondly is it kid friendly track?
nice video!
Post-Covid I am hoping for an NZ trip including this epic hike! What to you were the biggest benefits of doing it with Ultimate Hikes versus on your own? Trying to justify the cost.
It's beautiful! Could you tell me when you went hiking there? I'd like to have it on my bucket list and hopefully belong to a small group just like you.
I was there in April, on the second to last trip of the season. Enjoy!
Did you buy new sunglasses down there? So cute
I did this! it was incredible
Glad to hear it!
come to otara in south Auckland they have a flee market every Saturday
soulja lowc y not,off the tourist trail
Yeah you can see the machete wielding wildlife
Hi. Do they allow walks during the month of April or May? And do they allow foreigner to walk? Love the walk, and your video. Loves from Philippines
you can do it all year but April to October is unregulated and hike at own risk. it can be snowy and thus advanced. NZ was made for foreigners! Not nearly as many tourists in those months except skiers in south and maybe some in north. I personally have no major preference between summer/winter because winter nothing is sold out or crowded. hiking is different story however....more dangerous potentially but not everywhere/ever day. This hike is way south so getting cold come May.
thats amazing i was in new zealand a lot of people including me couldn t do milfor track its was over booked!!!! but so nice you could en joy it!!
Hi Marry what month best for the trip? Thx.
Hi Mari, I need to know where you got your sunglasses from! They are so cute!!
+Soupy B Aw thanks! I got them from a shop in Queenstown, sorry, can't remember which one!
+Mari Johnson is there any type of brand or model number on it?? #ineedthesesunglasses
So amazingly beautiful ! Gave me a little height anxiety watching, haha but still loved it
I watched your PCT Episodes before and kind of laughted when I saw that you hiked in New Zealand with a guided tour.
Hi Mari, going to N.Z. next week. You didn't bring sleepng bag? Will I need one for the this or others tracks during the staying in N.Z.? Thank you so much
I went with Ultimate Hikes, so I did not have to bring a sleeping bag, but if you've booked huts to stay on your own, you will need one.
Oh and have fun!
Thank you very much Mari, congratulations for your video!
What month was it. Gracias muy bello!
we💖New Zealand👍
your hike vlog was absolutely amazing! do you know if going solo female without a group/tour (like you did) is safe? Were the guides good as well? i.e. giving info on the way etc? thank you, love your travel vlogs! :)
Yeah you'd be fine going alone as long as you bring all of the right gear! The guides were great, they provided a lot of info! :)
Thanks Mari! Looking forward to following you on more of your adventures! Take care!!
+Mari Johnson
amazing.awesome
thank your video.
good hiking.and prety mari johnson
great vlog. you're getting better all the time. will u be getting a job in NZ?
+Carwyn Llewellyn aw thanks! No job right now, but maybe later this year. We'll see!
hi mari i live in queenstown, not far from you hahah love your videos i discovered you today, where are you going next ?
+NovaMains awesome! I'm still traveling around NZ for two more weeks!
I have never really been into hikes, but now! When my boyfriend and I go to NZ next year we will definitely do one! Would you say anyone can do a hike like the Milford track? My fitness level is 0.. haha
pretty trip . track must be nice.
Beautiful!
did you have you main luggage with you? also who did you booked with ?
its like you are in the hunger games. ahh new zealand is lovely.
I just recently started watching you and I am blown away. Such amazing content :)!! I really love it. Is this where you met your boyfriend you are doing the PCT with? I think the last person to comment mentioned his name, Nick, isn't it? I love your PCT videos and everything else you do! Keep it up :)
Hi Christopher! Glad you’re liking the videos! Yep, this is where I met Nick 😊 cheers!
@@mari.johnson All the best for your PTC hike! The moment I started watching your videos I knew one day I will do the PTC aswell :)
Ok - now I have to put this on my travel list. Beautiful supported hike - spectacular scenery. So, you know the PCT is absolutely the polar opposite of this, right? There are no guides, sherpas, prepared lunches, nightly lodges etc. Just sayin......
PS - you're a good Vlogger. I really enjoy your work.
haha yeah very different from the PCT! I do hope you have a chance to walk this track one day. You can also do it on your own, without the sherpas 😜 Thank you!
I glanced at the thumbnail picture and the Geico Lizard was selling you some insurance!
haha I can see what you mean! How random!
Is Ultimate Hikes New Zealand owned and operated?
Can you do a video talking about how you afford traveling to all these countries? :)
Was there last week.
♡♡♡
Oh! Too tired!~
Lol Mari hanging with the mums
Welcome to you all for an adventure trek in Nepal !
For more detail message us🙏

It was about mid-April
wow u r gorgeous with the view!
what's your accent from?
Just wondering what's the weather during month of april? Thanks
GOOD
plz help me . how coming new Zealand plz.....
world news 247 If you're trying to get answers to that question in a youtube comment, rather than a proper source, then, well, you're not off to a good start.
Oh my word. It's like out of the Lord Of The Rings.
that is Milo. It is Malt
+Tarere Tukaki yeah I know
Great Video Mari! I did the same walk during December of last year and I uploaded a some videos of my trip if you would like to check them out on my channel! We had great weather with clear skies all days except for the last where we had a spot of rain but other than that is was fantastic!
did you really pay over $2000.00nzd for that one trip 😮
You can do for 600 or so NZD if prepared to bring sleeping bags and food etc. 3 huts for these tours, 3 huts for solo travelers, 50 people per hut limit so sells out
Did you pay for those hut ,..
Great video, that looks stunning! We just took a pretty awesome hike also! Go check out our page! Thanks!
Saw (and heard) more of you than the views. This is why I like videos like the ones that Kraig Adams does.
Did you hire a tour guide?
She did the paid guide tour. Which is two or three time more then the unguided tour.
Dang Nick looks young and his calves massive hahah
so inspiring well done! check out my edits if you want, I make hiking music vids, Id appreciate any feedback :)
How many wedding proposals do you get each week Honey?
Routeburn track is better :P :)

Walking Milford without rain is like trying to have sex without touching ha ha ha RAIN is the real magic in this country ... Everyone knows sex is best wet - same with hiking
