NBS Boulder Bank Walk

Walk the Boulder Bank, visit the baches & lighthouse.

Bus to Boulder Bank Dr and back from the Cut by boat. You must have strong ankles - the walk is 9km in an exposed natural environment. Or go "Boat Both Ways" to a point near the lighthouse - some walking required.

Tickets on sale from 1 Feb 2027. There are limited tickets with lighthouse access, as space is limited. Lighthouse is restricted to age 6 and above. Get an early bus to make sure you'll have time for the lighthouse.

Start times from 8:15 am to 11:15 am. Allow 2.5 - 3.5 hrs for the walk.
Slower walkers must take 8.15 or 9:00 am bus. Buses depart from near The Styx on Wakefield Quay.
