Pearses Beach to Rye - Relaxed 6km

Relaxed Hiker - Event Leader - Amanda

If you’re someone who enjoys a gentle, easy-going experience on the trails, the Relaxed Hiker category is perfect for you. These hikes are designed to be low-impact, covering distances of 5–7 kilometres at a leisurely pace. Frequent stops along the way give you plenty of opportunities to soak in the scenery, chat with fellow hikers, and take a breather whenever needed.

While these hikes are slower-paced and beginner-friendly, it’s important to have a basic level of fitness and stamina to keep up with the group so that everyone can enjoy the experience. If you’re new to bushwalking but feel you’re not quite ready to tackle the trails just yet, don’t worry...this can be the perfect opportunity to begin your fitness journey!

Join us for a stunning hike from Blairgowrie to Rye! This adventure features a mix of beach walks (not too much) and cliff-top paths, with the breathtaking Bass Strait by our side the entire way. Feel the invigorating salty air as we navigate the narrow coastal track, with waves crashing below us. This hike offers a little workout due to a sandy track at times and uneven ground. You will be paired with great company....Don't miss out on this unforgettable experience!
