"Equipment Equipment as for a normal hut tour. Good rain gear and an even better mosquito repellent pays off!
I find this price simply too high, also the scenery does not justify the enormous costs anymore.In this section It is the path of turquoise water, golden beaches and gently bobbing tree ferns, making you feel like you are in paradise. We hike from Anchorage and look out over one of the most beautiful stretches of coast in New Zealand. Transfer either to Motueka or Nelson and overnight in motel. From the pass we walk downhill at a leisurely pace for about 15 minutes before the trail drops steeply to Roaring Burn stream. This is a descent of 870 metres over seven kilometres! Moraine Creek Bridge, the first bridge on the descent, is about a third of the way down to Quintin Hut. Shortly afterwards you cross the river over a long suspension bridge, from which you can often see trout and eels in the clear water. Another bridge crosses the Mckay stream. On the second day, after about 6 hours, you reach the Mintaro Hut through moss forests, steppes and rainforests. The third stage leads over the 1,073 m high Mackinnon Pass with views over the Fiordlands, past numerous waterfalls and over several suspension bridges to the Dumpling Hut. The 14 km long trail (6 to 7 hours) leads along Lake Ada, a side trail leads to the Sutherland Falls.
