A series of trails starting right from the doorstep of Southern Ocean Lodge offers walks of varying degrees of difficulty, from a 7km circuit to a 12km half-day trek. The Hanson Bay trail leads walkers on a meandering discovery of the coastal wilderness that surrounds the lodge.

Another great option accessible from the lodge is the 9km Cape Younghusband circuit, which offers a spectacular journey along the clifftops, sheer limestone bluffs stretching below to the cobalt blue ocean.
