before reaching the Routeburn. Cross the famous Routeburn swing bridge and
join your local guide for an easy-paced walk through ancient native beech
forest, ferns, mosses and lichens.

Follow the well-defined nature trail beside clear waterways, surrounded by
native birdlife and forest, while your guide shares stories about the area's
