The path is very well tracked and drained; though adverse weather conditions can occasionally make your walk harder, this remains a quite easy hike, with no strong denivelate nor orientation difficulties. There are absolutely no opportunities to find food along the route, you'll have to bring all you need from departure. Cooking facilities are provided at every hut. Overnighting is allowed only at the seven huts and at six campsites (three of them are on the last coastal section). Hut or camping passes can be bought in advance at most tourist offices in the area. Beware, sandflies can be nasty, especially at Lewis Hut and at places along the coastal section. Buses from Nelson through Collingwood bring hikers to and from the eastern end of the walk ; a daily service links the western end to Karamea, with a connection to Westport there. There is also a non-daily service between Nelson and both ends of the path. Note that there is no road access to any point of the track save its ends.
