Milford Track Transport

Reliable boat and coach transfers for Milford Track walkers

The Milford Track is one of the world’s great walks, taking you deep into the heart of Fiordland’s alpine landscapes, ancient forests, and dramatic river valleys.

Getting there should feel just as seamless as the journey itself. Milford Track Transport provides scheduled boat and coach transfers to Glade Wharf, designed specifically for walkers.

We are a family-owned and operated business and have been operating in Fiordland for over 35 years. We know the area intimately, so you can be confident that when choosing us, you are choosing a safe and experienced operator.
