About the Walking Trail
Enjoy a well-graded trail with breathtaking views of Kangaroo Island, The Pages Islands and Tunkalilla Beach. The trail follows the Heysen Trail and ends at Boat Harbor Beach, where you can return from. The Heysen Trail continues to Tunkalilla Beach and beyond. From the lookout about Boat Harbor Beach you might catch dolphins playing in the surf.
Hike Options
You can return along the loop, although much of the circuit hike is on dirt roads and fire tracks. Returning via the same way via the Boat Harbor Hike can be more enjoyable.
