  LARC Paradise Tour… What a great surprise!! Totally enjoyable. Skipper Jono & Guide Kev are so much fun and very knowledgeable. Kudos to both guys, together this friendly team delivered a fantastic local tour that even educates on the interesting historical events of Bustard Lighthouse and Middle Island.

• Full Day Paradise Tour - Spectacular!

  My husband and I went on the full day Paradise Tour and can't recommend it highly enough! Despite being from the Gladstone Region, we learned so much more that we didn't know about local history, wildlife and much, much more, including the amazing LARC vehicle itself. Whitey and Jono were our guides/skip and their stories and information along the way was so interesting, detailed and also humorous. The scenery all day was spectacular, particularly crossing the creeks and climbing up to the lighthouse itself for fabulous 360 degree views. Morning tea, lunch and the billy tea made by Whitey at the bush camp was very welcome. Our fantastic day was topped off by sandboarding and a swim before the return drive to 1770. If you haven't booked this fabulous day out, you're missing out. Informative, interesting, adventurous and scenic from start to finish - great value and you won't be disappointed!

  We spend the day on the LARC, it was a great experience travelling in a unique vehicle 20 plus kilometres up the coast, along the beaches and through creeks spotting wildlife and amazing scenery, and it's not every day you get to climb up to a lighthouse in a boat, Id thoroughly recommend the full day trip if you're in the Agnes Water / 1770 region

• A great tour

  Hopefully my review has given future travellers a small insight into a must do trip. The length of tour, was just right to fit everything in. My tour was a prize in a local raffle & given my experience I would gladly pay the fee for the total experience of atmosphere , knowledge etc. Whitey’s commentary was so informative & he included local aboriginal knowledge to tell us about the wonder of Eurimbula National Park & it’s inhabitants (both animal & plants). I learnt some amazing facts, especially about green turtles. Johnno gave us great wisdom in his talks too, especially @ the museum tour & was a very careful driver. The museum tour & history of Bustard Head lighthouse is incredible to see & a true credit to the forward thinkers (mainly Stuart Buchanan, the main driving force of this restoration) & team of volunteers who have made this happen, so it is preserved for future generations. Here, I learnt about different light sequences from each lighthouse positioned on the coastline, which I witnessed 1st hand that night while up @ lookout. There are also caretakers on site, who spend 4 weeks here, living as their predecessors have done, who also give an informative & knowledgeable tour of a restored cottage filled with photos & past treasures. I especially loved the whale teeth. What our forebearers lived through & dealt with on a daily basis, is truly humbling to learn about. They also cater for food intolerances too & a long drop toilet is on the island. So much information was shared by amazing people who have a true passion for where they work. A true credit to everyone involved. This is one of my most memorable travel experiences.

  What a fun day out. The mix of great story telling by Whitie and Jono, amazing coastal scenery, the lighthouse history and location- it all made an amazing day. We were a small group, so tons of space on board. The stops for snacks, lunch and photos were well timed, and the sandboarding/swimming stop was amazing. The actual journey over land and water was great fun. I highly recommend this tour- well worth the time.
