Spend part of your afternoon exploring the gorgeous 1770 region aboard Larc's iconic pink submersible vessel. Transitioning from the road to water with ease you can see the best of the region from the best seat in the house. The 1-hour tour kicks off in the mid to late afternoon, just in time to chase the sun as it goes into hiding to signal the end of another day. Crossing the Southern Great Barrier Reef's Round Hill Creek and travelling along the Eurimbula National Park coastline, you'll see the sea and sky transform from the vibrant, bright colours it reflects in the day to the pastel, dreamy tones it presents in the evening. 

Led by experienced tour guides you'll learn all there is to know about the region including its rich history as the Birthplace of Queensland. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled and have your camera at the ready as local wildlife also enjoy this time of day. If you're lucky, you might get the chance to see some kangaroos, sea eagles, turtles, dolphins or stingrays to name a few. 

There are two departure times in the afternoon, however these are subject to change depending on tidal times and conditions and School Holiday periods.

1770 Larc Afternoon Cruise

Explore Queensland's iconic 1770 with a full day visiting the best sights in the area. Driving along the picturesque coastline, exploring buildings with historic importance and admiring the natural beauty of this region are all on the agenda for this 7-hour full day tour. Your day will begin in Bustard Bay; a beautiful beach that has remained changeless since James Cook sailed ashore over two centuries ago, before travelling across four tidal creeks to set up morning tea on the Northern tip of Middle Island. Morning tea is supplied by the tour company and includes fresh fruit and a range of homemade cakes and cookies. 

The next stop on the agenda is crossing Jenny Lind Creek where you will then embark on a scenic journey aboard a four-wheel-drive along Bustard Headland on the way to the Bustard Head Light station. Providing 360 degree views and standing at a height of 16-metres Bustard Head Light Station is the only operating lighthouse open to the public to explore and the first coastal lighthouse in Queensland. Here you will hear stories of triumph and tragedy of the lives of the early settlers and light keepers - an interesting stop on the trip that is sure to be quite memorable. Heading back to Bustard Head via a scenic downhill drive, you'll enjoy a delicious lunch including sandwiches, cold drinks, tea and coffee while overlooking the Bay. 

Don't think the day is over at lunch time, following your picnic you'll head back to Middle Island for an adventurous afternoon sand boarding down the dunes. Grab a board and take the leap down the 35-metre high sand dunes, you can pull up your ride on the sand flat or keep going to skim across the water. A great way to end the afternoon the Paradise Tour successfully incorporates the best of a full day tour; fun, adventure and sight seeing.
