Sealy Tarns Track
The most difficult walk directly up to a ridge but on a clear day, spectacular views of Mt Cook and Mt Sefton.
A very moving experience to be up with such large mountains.

Kepler Track
An incredible adventure along the windy ridge and down through the greenest forest I have ever seen!
My favourite Great Walk and possible in two nights.

South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Punakaiki ▷
Punakaiki Pancake Rocks and Blowholes
Well worth the stop!
Just a super neat natural wonder and very easily accessible along the West Coast.

Travers-Sabine Circuit
Incredibly beautiful loop through forests, along rivers and over two mountain passes.
Saw very few people and thought it was well worth the challenge! Especially the climb up Mt Cedric!

South Island ▷ Fiordland ▷ Milford Sound - Fiordland National Park ▷
Key Summit Track
If you do not have time for the entire Routeburn Track, going up to Key Summit from the Milford Road side is well worth it!
360 degree views of all the snowy mountains and only an hour hike up. So great!
