ile-high mountains plunging into fathomless fiords lined with beech forests, and sandflies so voracious Captain James Cook noted them in his 1773 ship log, make Fiordland remarkable. As part of the South-West New Zealand World Heritage Area, Fiordland National Park protects 1.2 million hectares of country so rugged that parts of it remain unexplored. Walking the Hollyford Track is a wonderful way to enjoy one corner.
