The Tasman Peninsula's Waterfall Bay has been pretty spectacular over the past week. This coastal waterfall cascades 200 metres over ancient cliffs to the waters below.

It is an amazing experience to get up close in our yellow boats after heavy rains.

Thanks to crew member Anita for sharing this pic.
