Our group followed a route from the day visitor area near the entrance, along a dirt road and onto the beach sand at the river mouth. It was an out-and-back route of about 10km in total. We judged it to be an easy walk, as there is not much elevation. We saw signs for a "walking trail", but the path was very overgrown and not walkable at all. However, this didn't detract from the serenity of the wide river and towering sand dunes around us.

Near the ocean, the river creates a large lagoon, which was a perfect spot for a rest and snack break.

There is no cover along the route, so be sure to bring hats, sun protection, and plenty of water. It's not advisable to swim here, as the current is quite strong. The Merrell Agility Peaks were the perfect shoes to keep our feet cool on the sandy trail.

The birders in our group were excited to see Sacred Ibis and Spoonbill.
