Timeline
17:26
Start with a reggae-fuelled drink at Sama Sama. It opens early, so you can claim a spot and settle in before the evening rush.
18:11
Walk west for fifteen minutes to the Sunset View viewpoint. This spot faces WSW, aligning perfectly with the sun’s path in January. Arrive with time to spare.
18:41
Watch the sun sink toward the WSW. The light fades quickly here, so stay for the last few minutes of colour.
19:26
Head back toward the centre for an early dinner at Rudy's Pub. It is open late and offers a lively atmosphere to wind down after the walk.
Local tip
The walk from Sama Sama to the viewpoint takes about fifteen minutes. Keep your pace steady to arrive just as the golden hour begins. Rudy's Pub opens at 08:00, so it will be open for your post-sunset meal.
