Good to Know

  • Rain or shine, the day runs. If swimming is not ideal we switch to more scenic stops and coastal lookouts. You will never be stuck indoors.
  • The hike is around 8 km and moderate but the pace is always yours. Small groups mean we can shorten, slow down or push harder depending on what you need.
  • Expect uneven terrain, stairs and some steeper sections. Enclosed walking shoes and a moderate level of fitness are required.
  • Your guide has hiked across multiple continents and is passionate about nature, human connection and showing you places most visitors never find. This is a grounded, sensory experience of the land.
