Overview
The LARC is an amphibious vehicle, and this tour runs along the coastline from Seventeen Seventy. Over two hours you travel into Eurimbula National Park, with a guide giving live commentary on board about Captain Cook, the town's history and the stretch of coast you are moving through.
The route runs from the meeting point at 535 Captain Cook Drive to Eurimbula National Park, where the stop lasts one hour and admission is included. Lunch is part of the deal, and reviewers describe it as a fresh picnic eaten on the sands of Bustard Bay, with beverages and snacks also covered. One reviewer called the lunch setting scenic, another simply called it yummy, and a parent reported that a young child on the tour loved the ride.
The tour suits most travellers and caps the group at 29 people. History is the running thread: several reviewers praised the captain and driver for the storytelling, and one said the commentary brought out the historical themes relevant to 1770. It runs in all weather, so the emphasis is on turning up dressed for the day rather than waiting for perfect conditions.
