Pelorus Track: 30 km in Marlborough
The Pelorus Track is a named multi-day track in Marlborough. The governing figure used here is 30 km (DOC · Pelorus Track), not a straight line between towns.
Typical time on the route is 2 to 3 days. Grade: Tramping track. Season window: October to April.
A river-valley tramp, not a sounds walk. Pelorus Bridge is the picnic start many day-visitors never leave. The through-track is longer and wetter. Havelock and Nelson share beds.
The itinerary on this page is the published stop sequence: Havelock, Pelorus Bridge, Captain’s Creek Hut, Roebuck Hut. 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
Havelock — town. Pelorus Bridge — day-walk end, track start. Captain’s Creek Hut — first hut. Roebuck Hut — further up-valley.
Distances, grades and seasons above follow DOC · Pelorus 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.
