You’ll absolutely love it, and I’m confident that the 5 km will fly by, leaving you eager to discover even more! See you there! 😊✨

Hiking into Bushrangers Bay at Cape Schanck offers a stunning experience of coastal scenery and wildlife. Winding through rugged landscapes with panoramic ocean views. You'll trek through coastal heathlands, and as you approach the bay, dramatic cliffs and crashing waves become visible. The path can be rocky and uneven, requiring moderate fitness. Once you reach Bushrangers Bay, you'll find a secluded beach with black volcanic rock formations and pristine waters. making this hike a memorable adventure in nature's raw beauty.

There are approximately 50 steps that will need to be tackled on our way to Bushrangers Bay and what goes down must come up. Please keep that in mind. We have never had anyone not be able to do it, so we are confident that you will be okay if you feel up to it. It's certainly not a race either!
