5.00I had read the lighthouse of tragedy book and wanted to see it. The best way was by LARC. This was recommended and did not disappoint. The guide (Paul) gave an excellent commentary of wildlife forna and historical geography. While our Skipper Gave the lighthouse tour and more (stories, corny jokes etc) He introduced us to Vivienne and so much more. One of the best tours I have ever done. Great value for the money, stunning scenery and fabulous history. a real bucket list to do. plus a great lunch..
A LARC a minute!

5.00Awesome company and experience! Whitey and Jono were our guides and they made the day awesome for everyone on board. For what you get out of the experience, it's well worth the really reasonable price that they charge and I recommend grabbing a book or two like we did while you're there!
A day full of memories.

5.00We had the most incredible day on the 1770 LARC tour. From the moment we set off, the whole experience was so unique and fun, travelling in the LARC across both land and water was something we’ll never forget. A special mention to our tour guides, Kev and Jono, who truly made the day. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humour, making the experience both informative and entertaining from start to finish. The journey itself was beautiful, with stunning scenery and plenty of interesting commentary along the way. The stop at the lighthouse was a real standout—the views were absolutely breathtaking and it was such a special experience learning about the history of the area. It was the perfect mix of adventure, history, and relaxation—we’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting 1770.
A Must Do in Agnes Water

5.00Fabulous tour, great driver Jonno and tour guide Whitie, driving up the beach and across water in the fascinating machine that is the LARC, stopping for morning tea, and then a guided tour of the lighthouse complex at Bustard Head, followed by lunch and billy tea. Final part is sand boarding, which tested many guests nerve but all who participated thoroughly enjoyed themselves. All in all a must do if you are in Agnes Water.
