Reviews
Educational Entertaining Excellent value What a wonderful day. The Lark was fun and more comfortable than I thought. Our guides were brilliant so much knowledge. The lighthouse was a great experience. Easy to navigate the stairs loved the museum one can appreciate what a hard life for the families who helped keep the ships safe. Lunch was enjoyable tasty and fresh. Chickened out on the sand boarding but enjoyed watching the brave. All round great trip even laughed at the corny jokes. Well taken care of from the friendly staff at the office and the brilliant guides.
Christian hat uns super lieb empfangen und uns viel Wissen über die Natur und die Tiere der Gegend mit gegeben! Wir hatten einen schönen Ausflug und würden es jedem empfehlen.
Well organised and great tour guide.
