A gravelled, benched tramping track winds south 100m back from the coast from Track Burn. Passing through thick, mature bush there are few views though the sound of the surf is close by. The first major creek reached is Pipi Tuaraki Stream, and a signposted track junction lies just beyond, where The Hump Ridge Track branches off the South Coast Track. All major streams are bridged.
