I walked this path in 1980, this point was known as Sandfly Point. Take repellent!
Amazing track, you are surrounded with great mountains and following a cristal clear river the first two days. The third day you hiking up to the passage and have a stunning view over the forest and mountains. While hiking down you see plenty of amazing waterfalls and also the highest waterfalls in new Zealand. We also saw a kiwi. So pretty cool and amazing track. Some stuff I understand afterwards was that you can hike to the first hut, without paying the expansive boat, but take a whole day. During the off season you can hike in both directions. But a amazing track. Not so hard.
Stunning. I loved staying in the Dept of Conservation huts - simple and essentials met. The trees, wildlife and terrain over the 4-5 days - perfect.
One of the best tracking experience in my life
Breathtaking scenery
Most amazing track
Sandfly Point quay is one of the Greatest Walking Destinations in the World.
