Great for all ages, my sister and parents and I had a wonderful bike ride along the coast. The paved path made for easy riding and there were plenty of pull-offs and scenic overlooks. You might even see a sea turtle or two! The rented bikes had baskets and bells on them. Bring water, sunscreen and a hat!

Great hike, gives you a nice workout, with only one area that you need to scramble on. It is listed as one of the hardest on the easy list. If you are a hiker and like a bit of a challenge this is for you. Beautiful views, can be slippery if wet.

We hiked this in Nov 2020, on a day with a lot of rain. Trail was muddy but the footing was OK- you'll get a little dirty, but the views on this trail are totally worth it! Starting about 1/2 mile in, you'll get beautiful vistas of the mountains, rainforest, and the ocean off in the distance.
