Overview
A beach holiday does not have to mean a week without a walk. This outing takes you inland on the Honey Road before a short guided walk into Paradise Valley. The roughly twenty-minute approach makes it a different proposition from a full mountain trek, but the ground is still outdoors and uneven. Think of the pools as a place to pause rather than a swimming guarantee: water levels and conditions can change. If you are choosing between this and a city visit, this is the option for a morning spent among rocks, palms and mountain scenery.
Good to know
- Wear comfortable shoes for the short hike
- Bring water, sunscreen, and a hat
- Swimming depends on season and water levels
- This tour is best enjoyed in relaxed, casual clothing
