What a gorgeous location!
What a gorgeous location! The guide was very friendly and extremely informative about the local area and wildlife, and his passion for the ocean was evident. The nature walk was very informative and a nice easy walk. The snorkel off Shelly Beach and in the Crab Tree Aquatic Reserve was amazing! Such beautiful aquatic wildlife, professional and safety concious. I highly recommend this experience for anyone wanting something a bit different.
