The limestone stacks are actively eroding—stick to marked trails to protect fragile vegetation and nesting birds; tour operators should follow drone regulations to reduce disturbance.

Book early for light
Aim for sunrise or late afternoon departures to get the best angled light on the limestone stacks and avoid midday glare.
Footwear for stairs and boardwalks
Wear grippy, closed-toe shoes—the Gibson Steps are steep and boardwalks can be slippery after spray or rain.
Follow coastal signage
Stay behind fences and on marked paths—cliff edges are actively eroding and unsafe for viewing or drone launches.

Bring medication or choose a front-seat ride if you’re prone to car sickness—the route is scenic but winding.
