Step aboard the iconic pink amphibious vessels and embark on an unforgettable adventure with 1770 LARC Tours, exploring the stunning National Parks and pristine waterways surrounding the historic Town of 1770 in Queensland’s Southern Great Barrier Reef.
The ex-military Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo (LARC) crafts are uniquely designed to go where ordinary vessels can’t – gliding across tidal creeks, cruising over sandbars, landing on remote beaches, and even scaling Bustard Headland. The vessels take guests right to the top of Bustard Head Lightstation, home to Queensland’s only operating lighthouse open for public entry.
At the historic Lightstation, guided tours will immerse visitors in captivating stories of shipwrecks, survival, and the resilience of early light-keepers. Explore fascinating maritime artefacts, photographs, and memorabilia, then soak in the breathtaking views across this untouched coastal wilderness.
Along the way, keep eyes peeled for native wildlife, feel the rush of sandboarding down the giant dunes, and capture spectacular panoramas that will stay with guests long after the tour ends.
During the day, enjoy a delicious, fresh morning tea and lunch, with cool refreshments and billy tea brewed over a campfire, all served in a shaded picnic area – the perfect chance to relax and take in beautiful surroundings.
Whether seeking history, nature, or adventure – this is a LARC experience for every age to enjoy.
