Had an excellent 4 hour trip with Farewell Spit Nature Experience - entertaining and informative driver/guide, and though I have been before, it was still an awesome experience. The weather was not great, but the fact that the wind was blowing made the dunes all the more magical. You can get a taste of the spit on your own on... More

This 6 hour trip to the lighthouse is amazing. The views are great, the busses are fun and the guides are full of facts about the local area. We booked our tour at The Station House Motel and recieved a discount on accommodation. Running down the massive sand dune was wicked fun!!! More

Bus driver had a lot of knowledge but put it in a boring lecturing manner. I realise there are serious issues to discuss about the environment but he went on and on and on.... At the lighthouse we were made to sit in a circle and listen to him some more, instead of being able to read/look at information on... More
