The Milford Track is one of New Zealand’s most popular multi-day hikes. Don’t get me wrong, it is stunning (as is most of Te Wai Pounamu / New Zealand’s South Island) but I do feel that it’s a bit overrated. But perhaps I’m biased; the Kepler Track was my favourite of the three hikes as it encompasses such diverse landscapes, from ridgelines to tussock grasslands, and even temperate rainforests. Although, having said that, the boat rides in and out of the Milford Track were quite exciting, like something out of a covert James Bond mission, or so my travel companions thought.
