Day 4: Dumpling Hut to Sandfly Point — 18km, 6 hours.
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. Written by FATMAP Official
