The trail starts at the pier / North Harbour and takes the road southwards towards South Harbour for around 300 metres before turning right onto a smaller road. The trail follows the smaller road uphill for around 150 metres, before turning right onto the open hill. The trail climbs sharply uphill over open ground to a rocky viewing point, which rewards the walker with spectacular views over the island in all directions. The trail then continues westwards for around 75 metres, before turning south and descending the hill and re-joining the road, where it turns left and follows the road back along the outward route to the trailhead.
