What to expect
Expect a mix of driving, walking and active pursuits across three full days. Mornings start with tea and supplies before heading to your first destination. Days involve moderate hiking to waterfalls, lighthouse visits requiring stair climbs, and forest walks amongst towering trees. The canopy adventure involves harnessing in and moving between platforms—exhilarating but physically demanding. Afternoons often feature driving between sites with photo stops. Sunset views feature regularly given the tour's timing. Pace is steady rather than rushed, allowing time to absorb the landscape.
Good to know
Moderate fitness essential—zipline and lighthouse climbs are physically demanding. Not suitable for pregnant travellers or those with cardiovascular concerns. Bring sturdy walking shoes and weather-appropriate layers. Infants can travel in provided prams or infant car seats. Lunch and dinners aren't included; plan accordingly or ask locally. Solo traveller availability varies; contact ahead to confirm.
