Coastal Trail
Our most popular walk, the 8km tour around the perimeter of the island takes about 2 hours on average (more if you stop to admire the many lookout points, or read the interpretive signs along the way).
Biking
Many of the trails are multi-purpose use for both walking and biking. Check out our Trail Map for details (you can download it above).
Dogs
Your four-legged hiking friend is welcome on Saysutshun, but needs to be on leash at all times.
