Rugged coastal walks around Barunguba (Montague Island) offer dramatic lighthouse shots, basalt headlands, turquoise seas, and abundant wildlife (Australian fur seals, breeding seabirds, seasonal whales). Access is by booked conservation tours from Narooma (protected reserve), with limited landings and strict rules (no drones, stay on paths). Best light is sunrise and golden-hour sunset; whale migration May–Oct and seal pupping Nov–Feb. Track is uneven with steps — bring water and weatherproofs.
