About the Hollyford Track
Located in the southwest corner of the South Island, the Hollyford Track is unique among New Zealand’s "Great Walks" because it remains at a relatively low altitude, following the Hollyford River (Whakatipu Kā Tuka) from the mountains to the sea.
In late summer, the foliage is at its most vibrant. The area is world-renowned for its high rainfall, which creates a "moss world" effect where every surface is draped in deep green bryophytes. This specific section of the trail showcases the transition from the rugged alpine influence of the Darran Mountains into the dense, prehistoric podocarp forest that Fiordland is famous for.
