2 Reviews on “1770 LARC! Tours”
took this tour as an off ship excursion, thoroughly enjoyed the experience, lunch was great sitting under a tree overlooking the water, best of all was the humour of our driver and his explanations of the birdlife and history of the area, would love to return for the full day tour.
Susan, Thank you for taking the time to write a review for 1770 LARC! Tours. It is wonderful to know that our specially scheduled tour for the cruise ships is a success and that you enjoyed your time with us. It is the perfect taster of what is to come when you return for our full day Paradise Tour.
A very informative, enjoyable few hours. Lovely lunch, and a great tour guide/driver. Recommended.
Thank you for your review and 5stars for our LARC + Lunch tour Vicki. We’re very glad you enjoyed the amphibious adventure around the bay and we hope to see you onboard again 🙂
