New Zealand's Hollyford Track is a stunning four day hike through native beech and podocarp forests; alongside tumbling waterfalls, streams, and glacial lakes; with side excursions to historic sites before reaching the track's end amid sand dunes and rocky beaches of New Zealand's rugged West Coast. Along the way, guides share historical tales of the intrepid Maori and early European settlers, while also pointing out amazing botanical wonders and bird song. To be able to disconnect from the larger world during this wilderness retreat is life-altering!
