The Nydia Track (27km; 2 days) connects Tennyson Inlet with Kaiuma Bay, near Havelock. It follows the shoreline of Nydia Bay and crosses the Kaiuma and Nydia Saddles.
The Pelorus Mail Boat offers transport packages with a bus or ferry drop off at Shag Point near the start of the track and pick up at Duncan Bay.
There is a DOC hut on the track; but most backpackers prefer to stay at the On The Track Lodge, on Nydia Bay about halfway along the track.
