What to expect
Expect a full morning of hiking with rock scrambling involved—the route takes roughly an hour to reach Castle Rock, where you'll navigate loose boulders and use the fixed ladder to reach the Skywalk. The platform itself offers unobstructed views; it's exposed and thrilling without technical climbing. Your guide handles navigation and safety briefings. After descending, you'll drive to Ironwood Estate for a leisurely lunch with wine pours. The whole outing runs about five hours start to finish.
