I remember as a kid the first time we drove in to Milford Sound as we came out of the Homer tunnel The feeling I had just gone back in time and Dinosaurs were going to come out of the primeval mist and still felling the same as an adult.

Wow four days without rain. That must be a world record for Milford Sound. Some people say it's best viewed when it's raining and the heavier the rain the better it is. I guess that you can feel the power of water when it's pouring down the cliff faces and the rivers have been turned on to full power. Bro I'm in love with Fiordland. I watch everything I can find on this region and your film is one of the better ones I've seen. Congratulations. Is Carrie going to do a video where she talks about her experiences. Her feelings and thoughts as you guys travelled along the track. It's jaw dropping and holds you in awe every where you look and the view changes around corner. I would imagine that coming from a virtual dessert in California to this place that is virtually untouched by man, a region that is full of life and still evolving from a jurassic era with the most amazing views that opens your mind and pulls you in to the realisation of nature and what the planet is supposed to be like, would be mind blowing to the power of 10, as it's mind blowing to us who have grown up in NZ. It's on my list to visit in the rain when coincidence allows when I'm down that way. I wanna feel the power of the water which has built this beautiful region. And it's so good for the soul. Congratulations bro a film well made and an experience you'll never forget. Arohanui

I did the Milford Track 20 years ago this month. I enjoyed watching you two and listening to your observations. I too did the public huts and took the slight detour to the falls. I'm 80 years old now and have only in the last two years (due to back and Achilles tendon problems) stopped hiking. When we went over McKinnon (formally known as Mackinnon) Pass we (the whole lot of us from Dumpling hut) had to be guided over it by one of the New Zealand park service employees because a weather system was moving in. We were in white out conditions all the way to the top and spent less than an hour in the shelter by which time the weather (blinding snow storm) had vanished. When I was waiting for the boat at Sandfly Point I had to wait in the small shelter ... sandflies were really biting! It was a glorious 4 days! Thanks for bringing back the memories.
@ExploreThisShow Ай бұрын
The McKinnon pass can be so intense! I went in 2019 and we were in a whiteout and had to seek shelter up in Pass Hut for a bit. And yes to the sandflies. They are intense! But was it worth all of the discomfort!

WOW!! You are magic Alex. That was absolutely wonderful. Watching the trek is great, but having your narration adds another very emotional layer of experience. There were moments of tears, of joy, and of pure appreciation for you, Carrie and nature all coming together to create this beautiful experience for us to accompany you and have the experience the best way we can. You need to work with Lonely Planet or something like that. What a great job, perfectly created. Thank you, thank you 🤗, I can say from a viewers seat, all the pain you and Carrie went through was 100% worth it .... Just magic✨✨

As a born and raised kiwi, I haven’t hiked the Milford Track, but after flight cancellations in July, our family did jump in my husband’s Ford Ranger and drive there from the Bay of Plenty. 6.5 hrs to Wellington, Picton ferry, then 10 hrs to Queenstown. So much fun in the South Island, so utterly beautiful.

Long comment alert!! The script. The voice over. Mother nature herself in the background. The background music. Everything. Every single thing is just so so beautiful. Loved the video. Loved your journey. It's funny that i got so emotional in the last bit of the trek, as if i was finishing the trek. Good job guys. Also, the last bit where Carrie mentions about the last stretch before the finish point, that seemed to be after an emotional moment.. her face and voice moved me. If possible, in your podcast or a YT video, can you please also share how did you guys prepare yourself for this journey, both physically and mentally?

Well guys I've been waiting for this and you didn't disappoint. I had to cancel my trip last month but heading there in Dec. I've been waiting over 20 years to do this hike. Was reluctant to watch in some ways because of spoilers but so glad I watched. Tears running down my face. I didn't realise how important this particular trip is for me following in my late father's footsteps. I gave the guided trip to my Dad for his 59th birthday. C-19 fate now has me on the trail exactly on my 59th birthday... and 4 years to the day of his passing. Thank you both for giving me the courage to push on as this is not going to be easy... but so worth it. Just gorgeous cinematography. Thank you again for sharing 💚

Why am I crying??! HAHA so beautiful!!!!! The production style, the commentary (felt like I was listening to a Calm sleep story!), that footage of the waterfall and mossy boulders at 29:00 got me good! That needs to be my phone lock screen...pure tranquility! Amazing mahi and so inspiring!
