Lovely day out for 50 year old couple. Boat and bus tour had a great guide which kept us entertained and informed. Had a delicious pizza for lunch at Frankie’s on the island. Beautiful place, we would love to come back when it is warmer.

We loved our guide, Richard. As an an aborigine, we really enjoyed his knowledge about the sacredness of the island.

Great day. Although it rained I had a really good day. I had planned to walk around the island a bit after the bus tour, and visit a beach but the rain stopped that. Instead I spent a couple of hours just wandering around The Settlement and Thomson bay lots to see and do there.
