Travel to Tuatapere on SH 99 to the south western district. From Tuatapere turn onto Papatōtara Road and follow the signs to Bluecliffs Beach. The first 21 kilometres are sealed and the remaining seven kilometres are gravel road of a good standard. Cars can be left in the carpark (at the owner's risk), signposted in front of the Rarakau Station homestead, 150 metres past the track entrance.
Description

The Teal Bay Route connects to the South Coast Track: Bluecliffs to Wairaurahiri via Port Craig is an easy tramping track which leads to Wairaurahiri and Waitutu River track (a tramping track) which becomes the more challenging Waitutu River to Big River route. The South Coast Track can be combined with the Hump Ridge Track as a round trip.
