Malabar Hill Circuit
Old Settlement Beach, Max Nicholls Track, Kim's Lookout, Malabar Hill and the Catalina plane wreckage all in one hit. With its fantastic view down the island to Mt Gower and the towering cliff edge and bird life on the other, this has got to be everyone's favourite walk. You even have the option to drop down to Ned's Beach on the way back for a swim and to hand feed the kingfish.

Mt Gower
Not for the faint hearted, this 875m very special guided climb to the top of Mt Gower and the 'cloud forest' is the highest easily accessible rainforest in the world.
Mt Gower is rated one of Australia’s best day walks and the hike is a challenging eight hour return trek, complete with rope-assisted climbs and dizzying drops.
Walkers traverse over 12km across the mountain’s rugged terrain, encountering some of the island’s rarest plants and wildlife along the way.
Standing atop Gower’s iconic peak, amongst its misty forest, walkers experience breathtaking 360° views of the island and its crystal blue waters.
