5.00Very informative, interesting and fun. Neil was great to chat with and knew everything about the island, we learned so much more than we would have by just touring around ourselves. The wallabies and seeing some local hawk species were a great highlight. The bus was clean and well maintained. Overall a great way to see the island and learn some history and fun stories of the area. Also discovered some hidden gems to come back and explore later during different times of the year. Highly recommend.
