Wow four days without rain. That must be a world record for Milford Sound. Some people say it's best viewed when it's raining and the heavier the rain the better it is. I guess that you can feel the power of water when it's pouring down the cliff faces and the rivers have been turned on to full power. Bro I'm in love with Fiordland. I watch everything I can find on this region and your film is one of the better ones I've seen. Congratulations. Is Carrie going to do a video where she talks about her experiences. Her feelings and thoughts as you guys travelled along the track. It's jaw dropping and holds you in awe every where you look and the view changes around corner. I would imagine that coming from a virtual dessert in California to this place that is virtually untouched by man, a region that is full of life and still evolving from a jurassic era with the most amazing views that opens your mind and pulls you in to the realisation of nature and what the planet is supposed to be like, would be mind blowing to the power of 10, as it's mind blowing to us who have grown up in NZ. It's on my list to visit in the rain when coincidence allows when I'm down that way. I wanna feel the power of the water which has built this beautiful region. And it's so good for the soul. Congratulations bro a film well made and an experience you'll never forget. Arohanui

I did the Milford Track 20 years ago this month. I enjoyed watching you two and listening to your observations. I too did the public huts and took the slight detour to the falls. I'm 80 years old now and have only in the last two years (due to back and Achilles tendon problems) stopped hiking. When we went over McKinnon (formally known as Mackinnon) Pass we (the whole lot of us from Dumpling hut) had to be guided over it by one of the New Zealand park service employees because a weather system was moving in. We were in white out conditions all the way to the top and spent less than an hour in the shelter by which time the weather (blinding snow storm) had vanished. When I was waiting for the boat at Sandfly Point I had to wait in the small shelter ... sandflies were really biting! It was a glorious 4 days! Thanks for bringing back the memories.

@ExploreThisShow 4 месяца назад

The McKinnon pass can be so intense! I went in 2019 and we were in a whiteout and had to seek shelter up in Pass Hut for a bit. And yes to the sandflies. They are intense! But was it worth all of the discomfort!

@paulalaurie7935 2 года назад

At 75 even though I have always wanted to do this walk I dont think I would make it now! I have done many beautiful walks in the UK, Spain and Greece and your video of this walk, which may I say transported me for 30 minutes into another place, peaceful, birdsong and epic waterfalls was so wonderful- thank you. ❤🌻❤

@AlexanderAyling 2 года назад

Thank you Paula. I’m glad my film could transport you there

@davidbroadley454 2 года назад

I walked it at 70. I have no health issues and still good legs. Walking with the private huts has lots of support. The main unpredictable is the weather. This video gives a great understanding of the walk.

Long comment alert!! The script. The voice over. Mother nature herself in the background. The background music. Everything. Every single thing is just so so beautiful. Loved the video. Loved your journey. It's funny that i got so emotional in the last bit of the trek, as if i was finishing the trek. Good job guys. Also, the last bit where Carrie mentions about the last stretch before the finish point, that seemed to be after an emotional moment.. her face and voice moved me. If possible, in your podcast or a YT video, can you please also share how did you guys prepare yourself for this journey, both physically and mentally?

@AlexanderAyling 2 года назад

There were moments of tears, of joy, and of pure appreciation for you, Carrie and nature all coming together to create this beautiful experience for us to accompany you and have the experience the best way we can. You need to work with Lonely Planet or something like that. What a great job, perfectly created.

It’s such a special place - the primeval feel is strong down there for sure

@Kiwi_Christine 2 года назад

As a born and raised kiwi, I haven’t hiked the Milford Track, but after flight cancellations in July, our family did jump in my husband’s Ford Ranger and drive there from the Bay of Plenty. 6.5 hrs to Wellington, Picton ferry, then 10 hrs to Queenstown. So much fun in the South Island, so utterly beautiful.

Beautiful film from Milford track.I walked part of the Routeburn, another Great walk of the Fjordland region, with my dad coming to see me from France.

Well guys I've been waiting for this and you didn't disappoint. I had to cancel my trip last month but heading there in Dec. I've been waiting over 20 years to do this hike. Was reluctant to watch in some ways because of spoilers but so glad I watched. Tears running down my face. I didn't realise how important this particular trip is for me following in my late father's footsteps. I gave the guided trip to my Dad for his 59th birthday. C-19 fate now has me on the trail exactly on my 59th birthday... and 4 years to the day of his passing. Thank you both for giving me the courage to push on as this is not going to be easy... but so worth it. Just gorgeous cinematography. Thank you again for sharing 💚

Imperative you have extensive insurance through a broker, ours is fighting the evacuation cost of NZ$3400 but is paying for everything else. Hoping to go back to do it again end of year.

Kia Ora! What an amazing video! I was waiting for this video since Carrie said you were doing the Milford Sounds track. I lived in New Zealand for 15 months, and just got back to Portugal because of covid. Still, every day I dream to go back to New Zealand. Finally watching you guys, it gives me so much love and life. The love I have for New Zealand country and people will never go away. I will revisit this video everytime I need. Thank you once more! 💫

It's been 30 years since I last walked the track, and it has not changed much. The shelter at the top of MacKinnon pass is new. That was not there 30 years ago!! The sign at Sandfly point is exactly the same!! The downward side of MacKinnon pass is the worst IMO. The knees sure do take some damage!! Loved the bird shots you got. I am surprised that the birds cooperated with so many people walking past every day. People from both freedom (public) and guided (private) walks. Thanks for the great film and documentary!!

Wow, thanks for taking me down Memory Lane. I too have walked this beautiful track some 40yrs ago as a teenager. Brings back some wonderful memories. You have captured the true essence of the beautiful nature on this walk. Would love to go and do it again. Thanks for sharing

What a fantastic video. I am headed to NZ in January with a little time on my hands and the dilemma is "winery bike tours" or the greatest walk in the world. I deeply appreciate the quality of your film. I will be thinking deeply about the Milford Track.

Cheers Alex. If you can swing a great walk, it’s well worth it

Why am I crying??! HAHA so beautiful!!!!! The production style, the commentary (felt like I was listening to a Calm sleep story!), that footage of the waterfall and mossy boulders at 29:00 got me good! That needs to be my phone lock screen...pure tranquility! Amazing mahi and so inspiring!

'I visited the South Island in 1983,it was winter and I was on a tour so we crossed over into Milford sound by bus but I was amazed by the views I heard about the track and wanted to go back one day but on that same trip I hurt my foot and the injury eventually led to an amputation, then I was diagnosed with MS so my chance of doing this track is gone but I thank you so much for showing to me and you beautiful description- it has meant a lot to me

Just production Alex, brings back memories of doing this trek in Jan 2020. Agree with jetboil we did the same, nice to have a hot drink on trail and some cheeky 2 minute noodles. Day 3 was hard, I really enjoyed this trek. But routeburne is my fav, I did it a long time ago, can wait to get back and do that hike again great video

@AlexanderAyling 2 года назад

Thank you! Yeah Day 3 was a mission!! We hope to do the Routeburn next season
