Cruises from Ball's Pyramid
Ball’s Pyramid lies in the Great Barrier Reef of Eastern Australia. Just 23 km SE of Lord Howe Island, spectacularly spearing 552 metres out of the sea, is this jagged basalt spire - Ball’s Pyramid. Formed about 7 million years ago, windswept and inhospitable, it is the world's tallest volcanic sea stack at 562 m. Adding to the drama of this almost mythological seascape are the satellite islets Observatory Rock and Wheatsheaf Islet, both located nearby, and Southeast Rock, some 3.5 km from Ball's Pyramid.
