Fiordland National Park Hiking Guide 2025: The Complete Trail Companion to Milford, Kepler, Routeburn & Beyond

FIORDLAND NATIONAL PARK HIKING GUIDE 2025
The Ultimate Step-by-Step Companion to New Zealand's Most Legendary Trails

Ready to walk the world's finest tracks-without stress, confusion, or costly mistakes?
Worried about unpredictable weather, hut bookings, or getting lost deep in the wild?
Want to explore Milford, Kepler, and Routeburn like a local-not a lost tourist?

Let me walk you through it.

Hi, I'm Mary D. Smith-a lifelong trekker, adventure writer, and trail-tested hiker who has walked every major Fiordland track through fog, sun, and sideways rain. I wrote this guide because I remember exactly how overwhelming it felt the first time I planned my Fiordland adventure-so many details, so little clarity. This book is the guide I wish I had in my backpack.

Inside, you'll find detailed trail breakdowns, step-by-step booking advice, offline navigation tools, packing checklists, and trailhead coordinates-all in one place. But this isn't just a how-to book. It's a companion. I'll show you hidden gems, teach you how to avoid common mistakes, and prepare you for Fiordland's powerful terrain-mentally, physically, and emotionally.

This book is for you whether you're hiking solo, with a partner, or bringing the whole family. Don't know what to pack? Nervous about river crossings? Unsure how to combine hikes or plan transport? I've covered it all-clearly, concisely, and with the warmth of someone who's been there.

Don't just hike Fiordland-understand it. Respect it. Experience it fully.
With this guide in hand, you won't just reach the end of the trail-you'll love every step of it.
