A must do excursion to see the tallest sea cliffs in the southern hemisphere. A truly amazing experience that we didn't take until recently, and we couldn't believe how good the experience was. Choose you day on the water carefully when seas are calm (high pressure and sunny) to gain the most out of the experience. best to go early morning with an after lunch return to beat the tourists who turn up after their trip from Hobart.
