LAKE MARIAN

GUIDED HIKE

A captivating guided day hike to one of Fiordland’s hidden gems – Lake Marian.

HIKE SUMMARY

Lake Marian Guided Day Walk offers a captivating hike to one of Fiordland’s hidden gems. This full-day experience leads you to Lake Marian, a stunning alpine lake nestled in a hanging valley, surrounded by towering mountains.

We’ll pick you up from your Te Anau accommodation for a scenic drive along the Milford Road, with photo stops in Fiordland National Park. The hike begins with a gentle walk beside cascading waterfalls before ascending through lush forests of fuchsia, ribbonwood, and beech trees.

Enjoy a delightful morning tea with fresh baking and refreshments at a scenic stop. The walk to Lake Marian and back takes around 5 hours, with time to explore the lake’s southern side. If weather affects our time at the lake, we’ll explore other short walks along the Hollyford Valley.

Please note that all of our hikes take place in alpine environments where the weather can change quickly, so you must be prepared with suitable clothing and sturdy footwear.
