“Top value, enriching, fun and UTTERLY unique!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2011

The full day trip up to a unique part of the Qld coast with a very special history, in a VERY special vehicle, delivered way above our expectations. I felt privileged to be guided along this stretch of remote coastline by people who obviously love it and want to share!
Thank you so much for a truly enriching experience AND I went sand-boarding for the FIRST time in my life. Kamikaze speed was totally exhilarating.
You guys at LARC Tours deserve respect and ackowledgement for your enthusiasm, knowledge and committment to this fascinating part of Australian geography, history and heritage. Well done to everyone!!

“Fantastic Day Out!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2011

I went sandboarding with my brother and his girlfriend with the LARC team. We all had a brilliant day out- they fed and watered us and then took us to sandboard down the sand dunes. I was terrified but it was one of the best things I have ever done. We went out with David and Neil and they were both entertaining and informative about the surrounding area. I would recommend a day out with the LARC team whether it be sandboarding or any of the other wonderful day trips out they offer! Thanks for a great day out LARC team!!!

“We had a great day. The LARC is a great way to see the coast.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2011

Our family enjoyed a great day. We did the full day tour. Katherine did a great job handling our booking. Our guides for the day were David and Neil and they both gave us a good introduction to the history of the area and the Lighthouse. David was a fun and personable host; he made the trip interesting by pointing out bird and sea life during the trip.

It was a relaxing and enjoyable day. A highlight for me was the 4 wheel drive LARC itself. It looks like a 4 wheel monster, but was very comfortable to travel in. It was amazing the way it transitioned from amphibious vessel to 4 wheel cruiser. We were well looked after and the lunch on location near the lighthouse was tasty. A highlight for all the travelers on our trip was the sand boarding. This was a fun and a nice break from the traveling.

Be prepared for a 'road trip', this adventure does involve a few hours of travel. It would have been great to have a little more time to explore some of the interesting locations but it was a full itinerary as it was.

“What a trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2010

Our Christmas break up this year was brilliant. Our boss took all of the staff on the LARC tour in 1770 and I have to say it was the best day out imaginable. The trip was fun, informative, full of laughs and we all agree we have never been made to feel more comfortable then we did on Saturday. The staff were more then helpful, funny, and the whole day was a massive learning experience for all of us. The weather was wet and drizzly and cold and none of us noticed because we were too busy having fun. To everyone involved with the LARC we at ESA Fire thank you for everything and wish you continued success with your conservation efforts in this beautiful part of Australia. If there were more people like you guys around , Australia would be a much better place. Tourists and locals alike should be made more aware of the great work done by the staff at LARC Tours and get behind them more. Again thank you and continued success.
