More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the air‑conditioned van onto a ridge where the wind pushes the east coast’s surf into a rolling roar, and the mahogany‑lined road at Cherry Tree Hill looks down over the Scotland District. The island’s limestone cliffs throw back light; the sea dares you to look closer.

Book coastal pickup

Motion sickness precaution
Island roads can be winding; take medication beforehand if you’re prone to motion sickness and tell your guide if you feel unwell.
