4-day Milford Track (or heli) · booked permit
Expedition. On foot, Sutherland Falls is reached on day 3 of the 4-day Milford Track - a booked Great Walk with huts that fill months ahead. From Queenstown, drive to Te Anau, then to the trailhead. Not a day-trip by foot; the only single-day option is a scenic helicopter flight. Late October-April (Great Walk season). Fiordland weather turns fast - pack for it.
