One of our favourite things to do in the spring is to head out on our hiking trails in search of sunshine, serenity and of course whales! From August to November, tens of thousands of whales travel the 'Humpback Highway' along our coast, on their way south to Antarctica. And lucky for us, our coastal walks and hikes offer up plenty of elevation, ocean views and beautiful scenery to watch the show!
