Paradise Tour: An Engaging Journey Through Time and Nature
Embark on an unforgettable adventure as Paradise Tour begins its journey along the pristine edges of Eurimbula National Park, traversing expansive sands and crystal-clear waters of four tidal creeks. Our expert crew delves into the rich history of the Town of 1770, unveiling intriguing secrets that await discovery at Bustard Head.
Upon reaching the secluded shaded picnic spot near Jenny Lind Creek, enjoy a delightful morning tea under the watchful gaze of nature.
Next, embark on a scenic 4WD journey to Bustard Headland, offering breathtaking panoramic views from both land and sea. Upon arrival at the historic Bustard Head Lightstation, also known as "the Lighthouse of Tragedy," a knowledgeable volunteer guides visitors through the light-keepers' cottage, now converted into a museum housing invaluable artifacts, maritime treasures, and untold tales of tragedy. Step onto the spiral staircase leading to the balcony of the lighthouse tower, where you'll marvel at the unparalleled 360-degree vista.
After exploring the station's storied depths, proceed to the nearby cemetery, where the spirits of those who once lived here still linger. Return to the headland for a hearty lunch served by our esteemed partners at 1770 Marina Café, accompanied by the fresh brew of a special batch of Billy Tea.
A brief forest walk awaits before reboarding for a thrilling crossing of Jenny Lind Creek. Your ultimate destination lies ahead—the towering dunes of Middle Island, where the thrill of sandboarding can be experienced safely without fear—provided you're equipped with a pair of skis or a good sense of balance!
Upon arrival at Middle Island, immerse yourself in the serene beauty of the surrounding environment. Wildlife enthusiasts may witness various species during this tranquil period, creating memories that last long after the tour concludes. As the sun descends below the horizon, signaling the conclusion of yet another enchanting day in Paradise, relish the final moments under the golden hues of twilight.
