We did the cruise one day and the track the next. Real Journey's was great, they are very professional and their vehicles are modern and well kept. Laura our guide was a pleasure to be around and extremely knowledgeable. We highly recommend using Real Journey's, you won't go wrong with that decision. More

Bus trips, boat trips, great huts, informative briefings from hut rangers each night, and a great mix of people, made this freedom walk a great experience 10/10 More

The hour cruise over Lake Te Anau from Te Anau Downs (20 minutes from Te Anaua) to the start of the Milford Track was a fantastic Fiordland feature in its own right. The wave-upon-wave, magnificent mountain views rivalled Milford Sound. A gentle 10 km, up-and-back walk along the emerald clear Clinton River showcased beautiful beech forest and was sufficient to...

We took this guided day walk, because we had read so much about Milford Track (it being the most beautiful tack in the world, and so on). The guided walk cost us 190 NZ$ each, which is absolutely not worth it. You're guided through a type of scenery that is available everywhere in this part of the country - for... More

Our family, lead by Real Journeys trail guide Richard, totally enjoyed our Milford Track hike. The scenery easily rates A+.
