Join Trailblazer Sofia for a gentle winter walk along one of Sydney’s most iconic coastal trails — North Head. Starting from Bella Vista Café, we’ll meander through native bushland and dramatic headland cliffs, with time to pause at Burragula Lookout — a known hotspot for whale-watching during the northern migration 🐋

After the walk, we’ll head down to Cedar & Salt Sauna for a relaxing private sauna session and (for those game!) a refreshing ocean dip. We’ll finish the morning together with a warm drink and chats by the water.
