The Cape Kidnappers coastline is hazardous. Gannet Beach Adventures are proud to have been safely transporting visitors to Cape Kidnappers for almost 70 years. Our tour is an outdoor adventure conducted in an ever-changing coastal environment that is subject to unpredictable slips, rockfall, rough and rugged terrain and other naturally occurring hazards. It is also in tsunami risk zone. We have taken all reasonable and practicable steps to provide you with the level of care and assurances of safety appropriate to this activity. However, you should be aware that certain inherent risks remain which are integral to the activity - travelling alongside the sea and below high cliffs, neither of which can be eliminated.
Season is now over for 2021/2022. Season restart date TBC.
