The Kepler Track is well formed and suitable for all fitness levels, featuring gentle terrain through native forest and wetlands.\n\n**Walk Itinerary:**\nYour adventure begins as you meet your friendly guides in the foyer of the Holiday Inn Express Queenstown, conveniently located near the lakefront and local cafés. From here, we travel to Te Anau, a two-hour scenic drive showcasing the dramatic landscapes of Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains. The day begins with an exhilarating jetboat ride down the Waiau River, featured in the Lord of the Rings films, before gliding across the deep waters of Lake Manapouri. Enjoy sweeping views of snow-capped peaks and pristine valleys before landing at a remote beach to visit an authentic Kiwi tramping hut. From here, we continue on foot along the Kepler Track, exploring wetlands, lush beech forest and a swing bridge — the perfect introduction to New Zealand’s wild beauty. After returning to Te Anau, unwind at your lakeside accommodation with time for a swim or relaxation before gathering for a welcome dinner featuring locally inspired cuisine and New Zealand wines." }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Day 2: Heli-Hike on the Kepler Track – Te Anau", "description": "**Distance & Terrain:**\n5 to 10 miles (8 to 16 kilometres), moderate to hard grade. Expect sustained downhill walking of around 2,600 feet (800 metres) and potential elevation changes up to 4,000 feet (1,200 metres) depending on how far you walk into the alpine region. The track is rugged underfoot and requires good fitness, balance and stability. Weather in the alpine zone can change rapidly, so come prepared for all conditions.\n\n**Walk Itinerary:**\nAfter breakfast, we meet our helicopter on the edge of Lake Te Anau for an unforgettable flight across its shimmering waters and up to the Luxmore Hut high in Fiordland’s alpine basin. Stepping out into this breathtaking wilderness, we begin our guided hike on the famous Kepler Track, surrounded by sweeping views of snow-dusted peaks and vast valleys. Our local nature guide reveals the region’s unique flora, fauna and geology as we ascend toward Mount Luxmore for panoramic views over Fiordland National Park. After lunch at Luxmore Hut, we begin our descent through silver beech forest and fern-filled gullies, passing towering limestone bluffs before reaching the sandy shores of Brod Bay. From here, a private boat transfer takes us across Lake Te Anau, completing this spectacular alpine adventure. Return to the Distinction Te Anau Hotel to relax or swim before joining your group for dinner, featuring fresh local produce and New Zealand wines at a nearby restaurant." }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Day 3: Hollyford Track – Hidden Falls Walk", "description": "**Distance & Terrain:**\n9.3 miles (15 kilometres), around 6 hours with breaks, moderate to easy grade. The track is uneven and sometimes rough, requiring good balance and stability. Expect varied terrain through native forest and along rivers. Fiordland weather can shift rapidly, so come prepared for all conditions.\n\n**Walk Itinerary:**\nAfter breakfast, we set out along the scenic Milford Road before turning onto the historic Hollyford Road to reach the start of the Hollyford Track. Today’s walk follows the clear, turquoise waters of the Hollyford River through lush podocarp and beech forest. The trail meanders gently, crossing small bridges over streams and waterfalls while offering glimpses of snow-capped peaks through the canopy. Abundant birdlife brings the forest to life, with sightings of kererū, tomtits and other native species along the way. We stop for lunch at Hidden Falls, a spectacular 31-metre waterfall plunging into a deep pool surrounded by mossy rock walls — a serene spot to rest and reconnect with nature. After lunch, we retrace our steps along the valley, returning to Te Anau in the late afternoon. Enjoy time to relax or explore before gathering for a wonderful dinner featuring seasonal New Zealand cuisine and local wines." }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Day 4: Milford Sound Track – End Section – Overnight Milford Cruise", "description": "**Distance & Terrain:**\n6.8 miles (11 kilometres) return, around 3.5 hours walking time. The track is mostly flat but rough and rocky in places, requiring good balance and stability. Weather in Milford Sound can change quickly, so come prepared for all conditions — including rain and wet feet. Sandflies are common, so insect repellent is recommended.\n\n**Walk Itinerary:**\nAfter breakfast, we travel to the start of the legendary Milford Track, often called “the finest walk in the world.” A short boat transfer takes us across the Sound to the trailhead, where we begin our rainforest journey through Fiordland National Park. The trail winds beside the crystal-clear Arthur River and tranquil Lake Ada, surrounded by ancient moss-covered trees, ferns, and towering cliffs. We arrive at Giant’s Gate Falls, one of the Milford Track’s most photographed locations, where a graceful waterfall plunges into a deep emerald pool. Pause on the swing bridge for incredible photos and watch for the rare whio, or blue duck, in the river below. Returning to the dock, we take a water taxi to the Milford Sound Terminal to board our overnight vessel, the Milford Mariner. Designed in the style of a classic trading scow, this comfortable ship provides the ultimate Fiordland experience. Once the day-trippers have departed, enjoy the tranquillity of Milford Sound as we cruise its full length to the Tasman Sea, marvelling at Mitre Peak and cascading waterfalls. Anchoring overnight in sheltered Harrison Cove, guests can choose to kayak or join a guided tender boat tour for a closer look at the fjord’s unique geology and wildlife. In the evening, enjoy a superb dinner onboard accompanied by New Zealand wines, then retire to your ensuite cabin surrounded by the stillness of this remarkable natural wonder." }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 5, "name": "Day 5: Routeburn Track – Key Summit and Return to Queenstown", "description": "**Distance & Terrain:**\n5 miles (8 kilometres), around 3 hours walking time, moderate grade. Expect a 1,300-foot (400-metre) ascent and descent on a well-defined but occasionally rocky alpine path. The trail requires good balance and moderate fitness. Weather in the mountains can change quickly, so come prepared for all conditions.\n\n**Walk Itinerary:**\nAfter a hearty breakfast on board the Milford Mariner, we disembark and travel along the spectacular Milford Road to the Divide, the starting point of the world-renowned Routeburn Track. This section of the trail to Key Summit is celebrated as one of the most rewarding day walks in New Zealand and a true highlight of Fiordland National Park. The trail climbs gently through lush rainforest filled with native ferns, mosses and songbirds such as bellbirds, kaka and New Zealand wood pigeons. Emerging above the treeline, the landscape opens to panoramic views of the Darran Mountains, alpine lakes and the deep green valleys below. At Key Summit, you’ll feel as though you’re standing on top of the world, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and crystal alpine tarns reflecting the sky. After time to soak in the views, we descend to the Divide and begin our return journey to Queenstown, arriving in the late afternoon. The adventure concludes around 5:00 pm, marking the end of a remarkable journey through the heart of Fiordland’s Great Walks." } ] }, "additionalProperty": [ { "@type": "PropertyValue", "name":
