Nydia Track: 27 km in Marlborough
The Nydia Track is a named multi-day track in Marlborough. The governing figure used here is 27 km (DOC · Nydia Track), not a straight line between towns.
Typical time on the route is 2 days. Grade: Tramping track. Season window: Year-round.
The quieter Marlborough Sounds track. Nydia Bay campsite is the night. Water taxi options exist. Picton and Havelock are the towns. Mud after rain.
The itinerary on this page is the published stop sequence: Havelock, Kaiuma, Nydia Bay, Duncan Bay. Cabins and holiday homes load live around each stop; hut and trailhead pins without a town page still search by radius.
Book DOC huts and Great Walks on the DOC system where that applies. Town beds are what this site lists. Carry the day’s food on remote legs — several of these routes have no shop between ends.
Stop by stop

Distances, grades and seasons above follow DOC · Nydia Track. Confirm opening dates, slips and hut bookings on the operator or DOC page before you travel; alpine and West Coast tracks close or reroute after weather.
