This is one of the best tours I've been on. Awesome ride along the beach at Cape Kidnappers on the back of a trailer with a brilliant local guide who gives lots of local information about fault lines, the gannets and so on. At the end there is a 20 minute walk to the top of the cliff with amazing views and there is where you get to see the gannets. This is a seasonal tour.
