Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore coastal rock scenery and a hilltop view. Check transport between the shore and the viewpoint, seasonal access and weather.

This guide covers places within Setana, rather than immediately beside your check-in.

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
