MID Pace Hike - Event Leader, Amanda

Our "Mid-Pace Hikers" group strikes the perfect balance between fitness and enjoyment. These hikes are designed for those seeking a challenge without feeling rushed, offering plenty of opportunities to capture photos and appreciate the stunning natural surroundings. They’re ideal for hikers who want to improve their strength and endurance while connecting with like-minded individuals who value the outdoors and the benefits of regular, moderately paced exercise.

Pace: 10-13 minutes per kilometre.

If you're unsure whether this pace suits your fitness level, we recommend starting with our "Relaxed Hiker" hikes, which provide a great introduction to the group and allow you to build confidence at a gentler pace.

Fingal is truly unique on the Mornington Peninsula and consistently ranks in our top 5 favourite hikes. The breathtaking views across Bass Strait are simply stunning. As you make your way down the winding path to Fingal Beach, you'll be surrounded by beauty, but the highlight of this hike is undoubtedly the striking rock formations and peaceful rock pools. While there is a slight challenge to the hike that may get your heart rate up, the reward is well worth the effort. Don’t let that deter you—it’s an incredibly fulfilling experience.

We can’t wait to see you out there!
