What to expect
The day splits into two halves: morning hiking and afternoon grazing. Your guide leads you across varied coastal terrain to the Arch—allow 2–3 hours for the full walk. After reaching the lookout stairs, you'll descend for a beach break. The afternoon moves at a leisurely pace, stopping at each producer to taste and chat with locals. You'll cover several kilometres between stops but mostly by vehicle. Bring water and sturdy walking shoes; the trail is coastal grassland with some rocky sections.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required for the hiking portion. Day pack only—no luggage allowed on the ferry. Lunch can be self-supplied, bought from a local bakery, or ordered at Pennicotts Seafood Restaurant. Ferries run year-round; check weather conditions for coastal walks in winter.
