Tips:

• If hiking, a great way to do this is to stay overnight via backpack and give yourself more time to hike and explore the area. If hiking, you also need to be careful of the tides – certain parts of the trail can only be crossed at low tide.
• If kayaking, you’ll eventually have to land at a beach (will be obvious since you’ll see an old torn down jeti at a large beach); from the beach you can hike up to Caine’s head.
• There are some old ruins and military installments that make this a very interesting hike. On a clear day, the views from the top of Caine’s head are also second to none.
