Popular day tours include: enjoying semitropical rainforest walks, viewing glow worms in old gold caves, learning about the local flora and fauna, Hot Water Beach tours, Cathedral Cove and spectacular coastal scenery walks. A different kind of pleasure awaits you at Hot Water Beach, where geo-thermally heated water bubbles up through the sand so you can dig your own spa at low tide!
