THE ROUTE

Coast, island and inland landscape

01 ? GOLDEN BEACH

Begin along the coast

Travel along palm-lined roads and dunes to Golden Beach. The bronze-coloured sand is most striking at low tide, with time to walk or swim as conditions allow. Departure is planned around 08:30.

02 ? ROBINSON ISLAND

A tide-dependent island stop

Local boat access to Robinson Island is coordinated as part of the visit. Once the guest confirms, Robinson Island staff are normally alerted in advance so arrangements can be prepared. Lunch is a main part of the visit, and departure from Robinson Island is after lunch. Ask Settimo to confirm current arrangements.

03 — HELL’S KITCHEN, MARAFA

Continue inland toward sunset

Continue inland to Hell’s Kitchen, Marafa as the final stop for the landscape, views and sunset experience. Return afterwards without a fixed return time.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ROUTE

Questions about Robinson Island and Marafa

Is Robinson Island access tide-dependent?

Yes. Any crossing or access is coordinated around the tide and current arrangements; do not plan to wade or walk there independently.

Are lunch and return times guaranteed?

Lunch is a main part of the Robinson Island visit, but lunch details and return timing should be confirmed for the planned day; no particular food, wildlife sighting or access method is guaranteed.

PLANNING

Confirm the route and access before you go

The north-coast route includes sandy beach sections and areas near the Sabaki River that can become muddy when water levels are high, so the excursion is normally handled by 4x4 transport. Lunch details and any island crossing should be confirmed with Settimo. No particular food, wildlife sighting or access method is guaranteed.
