The walk is moderate and suitable for all ages, but make sure you bring some good walking shoes as some parts are rocky and can be slippery. Note that it is easier to walk in a clockwise direction, or else you will end up climbing up 450 steps at the end of your hike! For those just wanting a short stroll, head down to the lookout which is only a short 300-metre walk and the view is beautiful.
