What to expect

Day 1

  • Indian Head: Climb to this stunning lookout for 360-degree views of the island and ocean. It’s the perfect spot for spotting dolphins and sea turtles.
  • Champagne Pools: Take a dip in the natural rock pools, where ocean waves crash into them, creating bubbly “champagne” effects.

Day 3

  • Lake Wabby: Hike across towering sand dunes to this deep, green lake tucked at the edge of the forest, perfect for a refreshing dip.
