Abseiling and Rockclimbing
The spectacular dolerite columns and cliffs along the coastline of the Tasman National Park are popular areas for climbing and abseiling. Sea stacks north of Fortescue Bay, the "Candlestick" and "Totem pole" at Cape Hauy and, more recently, the cliff lines around Mount Brown are used by climbers, abseilers and commercial operators. Note: no bolting is permitted.
Hang gliding
Within the Tasman National Park there is a recently redeveloped hang gliding launch site overlooking Pirates Bay which is used periodically by hang gliding clubs and enthusiasts when conditions are suitable. Landing is only permitted in a designated area on Pirates Bay Beach in Pirates Bay State Reserve.
Eaglehawk Dive Centre
Location: Eaglehawk Neck
Highlights: An incredible diversity of scuba diving sites. From the magnificent formations at the Sisters Rocks, the wreck of the SS Nord with huge shoals of fish, the unique and up to 25m high Giant Kelp forests, to the seal colony at Hippolyte Rock and the best sea cave system in Australia; the area caters for all levels of ability and interest.
