# 11 Grunts, Dykes and Dogs! – Panama Rock Reserve

An adventurous exploration through regenerating forest and historic tracks, finishing with expansive views over Le Bons Bay.

Hosted by the enthusiastic and charismatic Ollie Rutland-Sims, pest controller extraordinaire and who also works as a volunteer ranger at this reserve. 

This is an exceptional opportunity to spend time with a real local expert whose knowledge and passion for getting the peninsula into shape is legendary! We don’t often offer dog friendly adventures but here is one for our four-legged friends.

Hike up to Langer Lodge and then through a dense jungle of native forest up the side of the fantastic lava dyke that fed the rock dome. Reach the summit of the dome for magnificent views before heading down the steep “Grunt” track back to the lodge to linger over a well-deserved lunch.

Relax at Langer Lodge.
