Itinerary description

Fantastic hike, I'd say top ten lifetime and definitely one of my all time favourites. Tons of scenery, amazing views, interesting trees/forests, add in beautiful beaches, pristine coastline and views from a collection of peaks.

We had a beautiful day and had a great time with this hike. Path was in really good shape, well signed and marked, just follow wiki and enjoy the hike. Cudos to Jakob W for laying out the hike, it is definitely better counter clockwise. Add this one to your list and give yourself plenty of time to enjoy, it is worth it!

Intersection

Nice lookout and a bench at the intersection. The first 1.5 km share the same path as the last 1.5. The intersection is at the highest point of the last peak climbed, so when you return to this point it is all familiar and downhill to the end!
