About This Experience
The Town of 1770 is dubbed Australia’s next tourism hotspot, but luckily this seaside town is still quiet enough to let you soak up its buzz! This award-winning amphibious tour takes you along the pristine beaches, creeks, national parks and 4WD trails of 1770, with a side of history and adventure!
The 1770 LARC tour aboard the popular pink amphibious vessel is a scenic land and sea cruise along 27 kms of pristine coastline. Cruise along the Eurimbula National Park, splash through four tidal creeks and enjoy morning tea at Jenny Lind Creek.
The crew will regale you with fascinating historic tales of the Town of 1770 and Bustard Head’s brutal past. Continue up the Bustard Headland for some stunning aerial views, before visiting the historic lightstation. Here, the lightkeeper will guide you along the lightkeepers cottage, which is now a museum with artefacts and mystery treasures. Don’t miss the 360° views from the lighthouse balcony!
After uncovering the station’s mysteries, head down for a healthy lunch at 1770 Marina Cafe; and if you’re up for it, a quick forest walk! Next, hit the rollering dunes of Middle Island – the only place where you can push your friend down a 35m hill and call it sandboarding!
End your adventure with a refreshing dip, before boarding the LARC once more for your return journey. The ride home is filled with birdlife sightings and light-hearted local tales!
