Find out about the diversity of the Island from the interior salt lakes which are occasionally pink to the amazing coastal Bays along the northern side of the Island. From our base in the Settlement, our tour glides around the Settlement past the historical jail and cottages before heading up to Bathurst Lighthouse. We pass through the bathing bays then through into the centre of the Island exploring the salt lakes and natural woodlands. Our guides will make the history of the Island fun and enthralling with stories of the settlement’s intriguing past, as well as the latest developments on the Island. There will be time to stop to buy a drink or snack at Geordie Bay and to take photos!
Highlights include:
Travel inland where the history of the salt mining by the original settlers brings a whole different perspective to the island. This is where the lakes and woodlands can surprise you with remnants of fossils, abundant wildlife and interesting flora such as the Samphire bush. Here the colour of the lakes can vary from brilliant white through to an amazing pink at certain times of the year.
We exit the inland area where we will explore the picture-perfect turquoise waters and white limestone sandy beaches of several bays such as Little Paraquet Bay. Time for a break we stop at Geordie Bay where you can buy a drink at the café. From here we meander along the coastal beach side paths of Longreach Bay to the protected and pristine waters of the Basin, the waters here are perfect for snorkelling and swimming and attracts most visitors to the island. Travel from here enjoying the magical vistas from Bathurst Lighthouse and then back through the relaxed Settlement area of the Island back to our office.
