LARC! Paradise Tour: Beach, Lunch and Sandboarding

Paradise Tour starts with a journey along the edge of Eurimbula National Park, over vast sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters of four tidal creeks. Our crew relay the history of the Town of 1770 and let out a few clues of what is to come at Bustard Head. The first stop is our hidden shaded picnic spot at the edge of Jenny Lind Creek, for morning tea.

The scenic 4wd journey up Bustard Headland then guarantees to be the best aerial view in the world from a boat and drops you at the footsteps of the historical Bustard Head Lightstation aka 'the Lighthouse of Tragedy'. A volunteer light-keeper will guide you through the light-keepers cottage that has been transformed into a museum and is brimming with priceless artefacts, maritime treasures and enough mysteries to sink a ship (literally). Our skipper will take you up the spiralling stairs to the balcony of the lighthouse tower, sharing a magnificent unmarred 360° view and then down a winding path to say hello to past occupants at the cemetery – many of which had terrible fates.

Once you've explored the skeletons in the stations closet it's back down the headland for a healthy lunch prepared by our friends at 1770 Marina Café. Accompanied by our secret recipe freshly brewed Billy tea. There is an optional opportunity to explore a quick forest walk before boarding again to cross the incredible Jenny Lind Creek.

Your destination – the towering dunes of Middle Island. The only place where it's completely fine to push your friends and family down a 35metre hill (on a boogie board of course) and call it sandboarding. Exhausted from the calf muscle workout, it's time for a refreshing dip. Then back on board ready for the return journey.

Your day is topped off with wildlife sightings and light-hearted local stories while the pastel colours of the lowering sun signal the end of another day in Paradise.
