Town of 1770 Afternoon Cruise: Amphibious Wildlife Tour
One hour on water and sand in an amphibious joyride
This one-hour amphibious cruise from Town of 1770 takes you into Eurimbula National Park with a live English-speaking guide who narrates the wildlife and scenery as the vessel moves between water and land. The boat itself is the draw. An unusual craft that lets you explore both the shoreline and the inland without switching vessels. Suitable for all fitness levels. Infants sit on an adult's lap, and the tour runs in all weather, so dress for the conditions.

The experience
The amphibious vessel leaves Town of 1770 and heads into the waters around Eurimbula National Park. What makes this different from a standard boat tour is the boat itself. It transitions from water to land, so you get the park from the vantage point of the water, then the same landscape from the shore without anyone having to disembark and board again. A live guide provides commentary throughout, pointing out wildlife and the scenery as the landscape changes beneath you.
The whole outing runs one hour, which is long enough to move through both environments but short enough to fit into an afternoon without eating the rest of your day. The guide speaks English and keeps the pace entertaining. Families find it works well because the novelty of the amphibious transition holds attention, and there's no hiking or long waits involved. The boat operates in all weather, so bring a layer or rain gear depending on what the day brings.
What’s included
