Overview

This experience takes you away from the busy beach into the almost abandoned side of the island. The views are amazing and far reaching. You become immersed in the unique quietness of the area, the closeness to nature in this lightly walked area.
The area is a protected nature reserve and is home to many rare endemic plants and invertebrates. The area is very seasonal from the arid browns of summer to the lush greens of winter with the morning dew dripping off the moss on the trees by the cliff slopes.
