Even 14mm comes in quite short here. So, bring the widest lens you have.

Travel Information

In order to reach this spot, you would need to book yourself one of the rare spots on the Milford Track. Bookings for the season opening super early and you better keep track of that. Sometimes it's possible with heaps of luck to grab hands on a last minute cancelation.
