Routeburn or Milford Track?
New Zealand is renowned for great hiking, and the Routeburn and Milford Tracks are two of the best rainforest/subalpine tracks in the country. Although the Milford Track is a fantastic walk, we prefer to hike the Routeburn – and after reading our reasons outlined below, we think you’ll agree. Smaller group size and more opportunities for views are two factors that have influenced our decision to hike in this area. While the Milford regularly takes groups of 45, the Routeburn is almost half that with only 24 people per group. This makes logistics a whole lot easier and gives you more time with your Guide. On the track, you’ll stay in staffed mountain huts equipped with kitchen facilities, hot showers and drying rooms. Accommodation is dorm-style (quad-share) and all meals are included. Meals are prepared fresh daily and there’s definitely plenty of food – a good thing considering the Routeburn Track takes you higher in elevation! From mountains to valleys, alpine scenery to temperate rainforest, the Routeburn has it all. As an added bonus, the Routeburn receives less annual rainfall – something everyone appreciates. We
know most people only have two weeks holiday, so our aim is to show
you the best of what the South Island and New Zealand has to offer.
Hiking for 3 days instead of 5 lets us maximize time in other special
places we think you’ll love.
