Remarkable Rocks & Admiral's Arch: Flinders Chase Icons

Scramble across gravity-defying granite boulders perched on a cliff above the Southern Ocean, then walk through an ancient basalt arch alive with fur seals. Two of Australia's most photographed natural wonders in one wild half-day.

What to expect

You arrive at Remarkable Rocks — 500-million-year-old granite domes streaked with orange lichen — as morning light sets them ablaze in amber and rust. Your guide shares the geological story of these surreal formations while you scramble, photograph, and simply marvel. A short drive brings you to Admiral's Arch: a wave-carved tunnel at the headland tip where dozens of New Zealand fur seals bask on the rocks below a hanging garden of stalactites. The roar of the Southern Ocean is visceral and unforgettable.

Good to know

Flinders Chase is 100 km from Penneshaw — allow at least 2.5 hours' drive time round trip. Wear sturdy shoes; the rocks can be slippery. Pre-book your private guide and confirm your all-aboard time clearly so the itinerary is tailored around it.
