We were professionally escorted to our Boat? The tide was high so we spent our trip up to Bustard Head in the water. Approx 1.5 hours. informative naration... More

Bernadette and Lance were great guides and it was a good mix of wildlife, history and fun. The LARC is a great experience itself but add in sand boarding, lighthouse visit picnicsm,... More

We booked an afternoon tour just to get a taste of it, and it was fantastic. The children had such an experience up and down the sandbars, crashing into the bay, they loved it. The sunset was perfect and made for great pictures. The guide was great with kids and knew heaps of local history. Next time we'll be back... More

Fantastic day: the LARC was an amazing machine (old but in very good condition), staff were laid back yet knowledgeable and helpful. The beaches, lighthouse, marine and bird-life and sand boarding were magnificent. Well worth the experience. Not something to do everyday but for something special and a little bit different, it was amazing. The lunch was excellent. All round,... More

More than just a lark, the boys and girls of 1770 Environmental Tours have packaged up an amazing day, discovering a little bit of history, the magnificent beach-side vistas of the Eurimbula National Park, wildlife spotting and sand-boarding down the massive dunes of Middle Island. From the moment our amphibious LARC (Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo), aptly named Sir Joseph Banks,... More

The tour was spectacularly beautiful and interesting, with a good mix of historical facts, stories and information on the local area and wildlife and incredible sights that only a vehicle of this type can provide. Cruising along the water's edge then plunging into the depths before tracking up a cliff to the top is in itself a unique experience! In... More
