Description
From Dumpling Hut, follow Arthur River to the historic Boatshed.
After crossing a large swing bridge and further along the track, you will reach Mackay Falls and Bell Rock.
After leaving Mackay Falls, keep a lookout for the fading, man-made rock cuttings on the left alongside a narrow pathway running beside the Arthur River and Lake Ada. From here, the track descends gently to Giant Gate Falls, after which you spend the last 3km on a smooth, wide track to end at the Sandfly Point Shelter. A short boat ride from Sandfly Point to the Milford Sound Village will take you to the end of your journey with world-famous views of Milford Sound along the way. Note: Be aware of the sandflies, especially at Giants Gate Falls and further on at Sandfly Point - they are big and they bite.
