George Bass Coastal Walk - Fitness Hiker 14km's

FITNESS HIKER - Event Leader - Taryn 

A fitness hiker enjoys walking with purpose, maintaining a moderate to brisk pace throughout the hike. These hikes, ranging from 10-20 kilometres, are focused on building endurance and challenging the body, often leaving you a little sweaty by the end. Your heart rate will increase!!!

Expect a mix of terrain, including sand, inclines, and steps, designed to keep your heart rate up and maximise calorie burning.

While the pace is faster and breaks are fewer, there’s still time to pause, catch your breath, take in the surroundings, and capture the moment with a photo or two. Fitness hikers value the balance between intensity and enjoyment, pushing their limits while connecting with others who share the same goals of staying fit and active in the outdoors. These hikes are perfect for those who want to elevate their fitness and enjoy the challenge of more demanding trails.

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND STARTING WITH ONE OF OUR "RELAXED HIKER" OR "MID PACE" HIKES FIRST AS YOU MUST KEEP UP WITH GROUP.

Come along on an adventure through the beloved George Bass Coastal Walk! This stunning cliff-top trail takes us from Bass Highway in Kilcunda all the way to Punchbowl Road on the outskirts of San Remo!

Approximately 14 kilometres round trip, this walk promises jaw-dropping views of the coastline, tracing the path of explorer George Bass's incredible voyage over 200 years ago along the Anderson Peninsula's southern edge.

Prepare for a gorgeous journey that'll get your spirits soaring. Our hikes/walks are designed to boost your heart rate and get that blood pumping. Your heart will thank you! 

This hike is rated intermediate and is not suitable for beginners due to the pace we set. A decent level of fitness and stamina is required. We maintain a steady pace but do stop occasionally for photos and snacks.
