WHAT TO EXPECT

Trail Length 9 km (5.5 miles)  Trail Elevation 50 m (165 ft)

Activity Rating: MODERATE If your tour is rated as “Moderate”, you will need a reasonable level of fitness. While it may not be as strenuous as difficult or advanced trails, it still involves some elevation changes that may pose a challenge to individuals with certain health conditions. You will need to be able to walk for 3-4 hours at a time on undulating paths. Most of the route is hard packed sand, uneven boardwalks and rain forest trails. You will receive instructions and a full briefing by your experienced hiking guide before you set off. Contend with occasional steep section but primarily gradual. Few hazards such as uneven terrain, roots, creek crossings and slippery rocks. Good mobility is required. This route does have a small creek crossing that requires the removal of shoes in order to cross the shallow water. Summer months the creek is only a few inches deep and on occasion there is a driftwood bridge (see image in gallery below for reference). By choosing to hike on a trail with a moderate rating, you acknowledge and accept the risks associated with outdoor activities.
