About The Tidal Trail 

Distance: About 8-9Km's over varied terrain, some areas are rocky, others beautiful open sandy beaches

Time: 4-5 hours: Including numerous rest stops, dolphin and whale watching, breakfast on the beach and exploring. 

Fitness required: This is an easy walk for anyone of  reasonable fitness level. It is not strenuous at all, but there are some sections that require scrambling over rocks and some tricky terrain. 

Trails are run in the mornings when the conditions are at their best, the exact times and dates are very reliant on the tides (we must walk the trail on an outgoing tide to avoid being unable to cross certain stretches) - Click here for Bookings, info about the tides and possibility of doing the trail on your preferred date

What to expect and see

The Tidal Trail starts off with the first few kilometers along beautiful, pristine beaches where you are unlikely to see many other people. You will see some amazing views and almost guaranteed a chance of seeing Dolphins playing in the waves and Whales during the whale season (June-November)
