The path linking Medlands beach and Anchorage offers magnificent views, possible encounters with a varied marine wildlife and runs partly through forest. Alongside watching the effects of the tides, one of the most enjoyable moments of the walk is crossing the suspension bridge, that spans the waters of Falls River

An easy walk takes us to a viewpoint with magnificent views of the glacier’s front, just over 700 m away. The path is easy, but conditions are changeable and subject to unforeseen changes; remember that the glacier is constantly moving, and ice or rock can fall from its front without warning.
