Getting there
The resort is compact enough to walk. A free resort shuttle runs between the hotels and the Town Square.
Stops in order
The text version of the route: stops, time at each and the legs between them. Times are estimates, without queues, traffic or swims.
1. Kulata Academy Cafe~30 min at the stop
A Town Square cafe staffed by trainees of the resort's National Indigenous Training Academy. Sandwiches, pies and coffee, open daily 7:00–14:00.
Tip: Take a hot pie into the park: inside it only Ininti Cafe sells food.

Before you go
- Route times are estimates: walking, driving and a sensible pause at each stop. Add queues, traffic and swims yourself.
- Prices, timetables and trail status change. Check the venue's official site and the state transport app before you go.
- On beaches, swim only between the red and yellow flags. Use sun protection even when it is cloudy.
