“Excellent Tour on the LARC”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2012

Seeing wild life along the beach (including an echindna, goanna and sea eagles), people happily fishing/flying a kite, beautiful scenery. We had an enjoyable lunch... More

“Full moon cruise ... WOW!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2012

Being in the right place at the right time works. Rang through to the Larc! office to book in for the afternoon cruise for myself and my daughter only to find it was booked out, but Bernadette said, "We're doing our first ever full moon cruise tonight, would you be interested in that?" I'm so glad I said yes! It... More

My partner and I took this tour on the recommendation of the manager of our motel. We were not disappointed. The staff (David and Neil) were very acknowledgeable and helpful and sometimes entertaining as well. We saw incredible wild life including a nesting pair of sea eagles. David jumped out of the LARC and caught a mud crab, unfortunately it... More
