A 1770 must do
337berng, September 2026
We had a great day! Whitey and Tristan were engaging and knowledgeable! We saw wildlife in and out of the water !
Having dietary needs often precludes me from this type of thing, but, from GF bikkies with morning tea to a delicious ham and salad bowl for lunch , I was thrilled! Wal and Pat ( volunteers) at the lighthouse were so proud to share the stories and history of times gone by . Hitting the sand dunes and a swim on the way home was a great way to finish the day . This is definitely a must do!

Full Day Tour in the LARC 5
kelleer2017, August 2026
Had an awesome day. Our guides were excellent, informative, knowledgeable and great all round guys. What a fun day. From birds to marine life the information was extremely interesting. A great community that are very environmentally conscious of their bit of paradise. Morning tea then off to the lighthouse, museum and back for lunch. Catering for all needs. Billy tea and then off again for sandboarding and a swim ( if you want). This is a highly recommend.
