Multi-day Walks

MacKinnon Pass - Milford Track

New Zealand’s multi-day walks are legendary, with the Milford Track and Routeburn Track being particularly well-known overseas.

DoC has 10 Great Walks - these multi-day walks are on easy-to-follow, well-formed tracks, with good huts and facilities along the way.

You’ll need to be fit, experienced and prepared. And you’ll need to book hut accommodation early to get a spot.
