No, the hike is by no means easy. Moderately difficult... hmm... depending on your age and fitness. You have to scramble over large boulders, wind your way through narrow rock …

Hiking

A 5-hour, 13 km hike with 950 meters of elevation gain and loss through the Butterfly Gorge. Not a difficult hike, but good footwear and sufficient water are essential.
