This video, courtesy of Ultimate Hikes NZ ( http://www.ultimatehikes.co.nz ), takes you through the first 2 days of the 5 day / 4 night Queenstown to Queenstown all-inclusive walk through the heart of Fiordland National Park to Milford Sound.
Plan It » Season From October through April (when it’s generally snow-free), permits are required: Bookings start on July 1 for the following year, and they go fast.
