Havelock Getting there & around

Getting there & away

InterCity (03-365 1113; www.intercitycoach.co.nz) runs daily from Picton to Havelock via Blenheim ($20, one hour, once daily), and from Havelock to Nelson ($21, 1¼ hours, once daily). Shuttle buses also ply this route for around $4 less, including Southern Link KBus (0508 458 835, 03-358 8355; www.southernlinkkbus.co.nz) and Atomic Shuttles (03-349 0697; www.atomictravel.co.nz). Buses avoid the convoluted 36km back road to Picton (Queen Charlotte Dr), but this is highly recommended if you’re driving or cycling.
