This incredible optional wildlife experience involves a four hour boat cruise. We find the friendly populations and can swim and snorkel amongst them. There is nothing that can parallel the feeling of communing with wild creatures such as these.

We then visit the famous Murphy's Haystacks - the weird and wonderful - 100,000 year old granite inselbergs shaped by the sands of time.

Its then on to beautiful Venus Bay - a shelterd bay where on an enjoyable coastal walk we catch sight of dolphins as they frolic in and out of the waves.
