Jeans and streetwear are not suitable clothing, please ensure you wear suitable outdoor, activewear for the walks. We also recommend you have a change of clothes and dry shoes in case it is a wet day. Rain jackets are available if requested prior to the day of travel.

Good fitness is required, the walking pace is set around 3 km per hour. There is a 50 metre vertical gain and the walk is up to 11 km total (to the waterfall return), walking time is around 3.5 hours. There are some areas where terrain is rocky or rough underfoot.

Your journey begins at the Milford Sound terminal, where a short boat ride takes you to Sandfly Point, the starting point of your guided walk.&nbsp;

Enjoy a 5.5 km (11 km return) walk alongside the cascading Arthur River and moody Lake Ada, on a well-maintained track. From the ancient canopy trees towering above&nbsp;to the emerald-green&nbsp;ferns&nbsp;below and the birdsong that echoes through the trees,&nbsp;it is a unique World Heritage Area best&nbsp;explored by foot.&nbsp;Our destination is the impressive Giant Gate&nbsp; This spectacular waterfall is best viewed from the large swing bridge spanning the river.&nbsp;

We then return, taking the time to enjoy this incredible forest.&nbsp; The small group of 12 walkers to 1 Trips &amp; Tramps guide provides an excellent opportunity to learn about the fascinating human heritage of the track. On completion of the walk, an opportunity is made for photos at the sign marking the end of the track.

Walkers then re-join the boat for the transfer back to Milford.&nbsp;Watch for seals and dolphins, which frequently accompany the cruise, making for unforgettable wildlife encounters.
