I completed the whole route (34 miles/56km) unsupported, North to South, in 6hrs55mins on Februrary 14th, 2014. I started at the Milford Sound ferry dock at 8:45am, and finished at the Te Anau Downs Ferry Port on the southern end at 3:40pm. I was unaccompanied; I had no support team or pacers, I carried all my gear with me and only filled up water at the huts.

I'm interested to see if anyone else has done this popular hike any faster.

Yeah there have been quite a few times faster than that, but not really the kiwi style to brag about them and post them anywhere. I believe John Campbell did it in just under 5:30 a while back. Runners go under 7 there pretty steadily just to make the boats.
