We begin our adventures on the island with a spectacular walk highlighting the amazing coastal scenery. We follow the Cape Queen Elizabeth trail. We don’t complete the full walk today, we walk to Mars Bluff, Miles Beach, the unique rock formations and then return. The first 30 - 40 minutes of the walk is an easy stroll along a wide, sandy track that takes you towards the beach through coastal heathland. We pass between Big Lagoon and Little Lagoon, home to a large number of water birds. A short 10 minute uphill takes us over Mars Bluff, where the slight elevation provides a beautiful vantage of the surrounding coast. We walk down onto Miles Beach and explore the unique rock formations. We have plenty of time to take in this wonderful location, photograph the Arch and enjoy some morning tea before returning back to the start of the trail. The walk we complete is a total of around 6 kilometres, and is classified as easy, coastal walking over mostly flat terrain.

Had an amazing day! Totally recommend this tour. The hike to the beach was great. Excellent views of the ocean. Loved the small group size. Nick (tour guide) was very friendly and knowledgeable about Tasmania.

Our guide was Nick. He was very knowledgeable about history and science. He also was good at timing our arrivals to keep us away from the crowds. Our group of 9 often was alone to enjoy views or beaches, which is a great experience in January. I liked having a long nature walk, but I did find the 2nd hour very challenging because the climb was quite steep and it was hard for me to keep pace with the younger participants. A couple of ladies actually had to wait on the trail for an hour for us to return to them. There was no rock or bench for them to sit on, but they never would have made it. My main advice is to book this tour if you have a high level of fitness, and consider your capacity if you are over 55 and not an athlete. I work out at the gym 3 days a week and consider myself active, but the walk was very challenging. I was sore the next day, but it was still worth it.
