I had a wonderful day with Lorinda as our guide. It was over 35 degrees, and there were no clouds at all - what a day! The view was amazing at the top of the mountain, and the seawater was so clear and cool. Lorinda shared many fun facts about native animals with us. It was a sweaty and enjoyable tour.

We had a very nice day. The weather was not brilliant but we still had no beautiful views. The walk itself is easy, but make sure you wear good footwear. We also saw kangaroos! To be repeated!

Great beaches and walking tracks. Shallow areas for toddlers to swim. The boat trop was really good and amazing scenery of granite islands and seals.

It was really great experience. Highly recommended

Enjoyed the trip a lot would definitely recommend!
