• Moderate fitness is required. Access involves boarding steps, narrow walkways, stepping over or ducking under ropes, and steep ladder-like steps to the below-deck bathroom. Beach access requires using a small ladder into a dinghy, climbing out and potentially stepping into shallow water.
• The Hill Inlet Lookout walk is uphill on uneven sand, dirt, stone and steps, with a grade 2, moderate rating.

• This activity is not recommended for anyone with heart disease, high blood pressure, epilepsy or asthma. Snorkeling is also not recommended with lung or respiratory conditions, or conditions that may cause loss of consciousness, including certain forms of diabetes. Do not snorkel if cold water or saltwater mist may trigger your asthma or epilepsy.
