The experience

You start in the parking lot, where the guide explains a little about the route and the area before you set off. The path climbs with a gentle slope, easy underfoot and very comfortable, and it leads you all the way around the famous rock. Keep your eyes up, because the view from its very base is the moment this walk is built around.

Along the way there is friendly chat and stories about life on the island, so the walk feels like a conversation as much as a climb. When you reach the far side, you sit down to a picnic of fruit, water, cookies and nuts, a well-deserved break after the walk.

Then you take another path down to the parking lot. On the drive you pass different landscapes and ecosystems, with brief stops along the way, so the scenery keeps changing right up to the end.
