Good walk along the coast. Can be quite steep at times - the actual blowhole possibly being better on a rough day to see the waves crashing through.

Steady walk to the blowhole which was impressive to watch the sea crash against the rocks.

All the free walks are very nice and very well maintained. Bridges and walkways are with lots of care and very respectfully built. Toilets at the starting point are always cool and with paper and soap.

Mildly interesting reward for a short, easy walk. Always admire the forces of nature but wish there was a closer view to the blowhole.

Think that the conditions may not have been ideal to see the hole in full force. Walk up was nice though and the blowhole is cool to see even when not blowing.

Short walk. Even if it is not working because of the wrong tide it is quite interesting.

Don't believe what they say - it's not an easy walk.. you need a moderate level of fitness as some parts are v steep. Also the sign at the start of the track says 20 mins (this is a lie!) It is 1 hour return at least. However, it was worth it in the end to see Jacks Blowhole! Great views from up high too.
