What to expect
Expect a full day on the road with a group roughly your age, stopping regularly to explore beaches, rock formations and lookouts. The pace is leisurely—you're not racing through checkpoints but actually spending time at each spot. Wildlife sightings aren't guaranteed but the coastal scrub and beaches regularly host native birds and other fauna. Most of the day involves sitting in the van, so comfort matters; the vehicle is air-conditioned but bring layers for windy clifftop stops. Legs and lower back get tested by uneven terrain and stairs at some viewpoints.
