Early in 2005 a tour was undertaken to the remote and scenic wonderlands of Fiordland to the Hollyford Valley in the Milford Sound.
The tour consisted of a drive to Hollyford, launching about 10km downstream with the boats laden with a weeks fuel and supplies, a helicopter lift of the Hidden Falls rapids and continuing on to accommodation at the Department of Conservation huts on Lake Alibaster. For a period of three days the group indulged in the plentiful fishing and hunting of the area, as well as an exploration of Lake McKerrow to the Hollyford River’s outlet at Martins Bay. They continued across Lake Alabaster to the Pyke River Falls - boating through Lake Wilmot amongst some of New Zealand’s most scenic wonderlands. They returned to navigate the boats up through Hidden Falls.
