The Hollyford Track is the only major track in Fiordland at low altitude which can be walked in any season and also connects to the Fiordland coastline.
It is a moderate, tramping track from the Hollyford Road end of the old port of Martins Bay. NZ Fur Seal colony and Fiordland Crested Penguins at Martins Bay present at certain times of the year.
The Track can be undertaken as an independent walker, or with a guided walk party. The Guided Walkers stay in different huts and have a more 'luxurious' experience.
The information below applies to independent walkers. If you are looking for a Guided Walk Option on the Hollyford Track, please click here.
