The guide provides context about geology, flora and fauna, then you select your preferred walk based on the day's conditions and your energy. Trails range from 45-minute forest strolls to demanding three-hour summit hikes with sustained elevation. Expect sea breezes, variable terrain from sandy beach to rocky outcrops, and genuine solitude compared to peak-season crowds. Food stops occur at small townships during the drive.
