What to expect

You'll start with hotel collection, then transfer to the trailhead via vehicle. The hike itself follows undulating terrain along the coast—expect a mix of packed earth, rocky stretches, and some uneven ground. Pace is moderate; you're stopping regularly to take in the landscape and sample regional produce. The walk isn't technically demanding but does involve decent elevation changes, particularly near the cliffs. Refreshments and water breaks are built in. By the end, you'll return to your accommodation.
