Perfect family day out

Shajia 20 December 2022

Had the best day out with the family, perfect size boat for a family of 4 adults and 2 kids! The tide was low when we went, definitly do recommend going at high tide so there are more places to be able to drive out to but overall great experience

A fantastic afternoon opportunity. Stopping along the way for a swim and fishing made it even better. Staff were friendly and the craft was clean and in good condition. Highly recommended.
