We did a 3 hour boat cruise around the gold coast waterways. Nitsa the owner was our skipper for my Hens party. We had the best time! Honestly, it was the highlight of my hens weekend. Nitsa took heaps of photos of our group and allowed me to play my own music nice and loud! She also organized water, champagne glasses and ice buckets. The table on board was movable, meaning that after we’d eaten Nitsa moved the table so we had our very own dance floor! Nitsa also stopped at her mooring halfway through the cruise so we could use the ladies toilet (but there is also one on board!). The boat comfortably fit 8 of us girls. We ate, danced and drank whilst looking at some of the richest houses, people enjoying their meals at the wharf and some dolphins! So many great memories to cherish forever! Thanks Nitsa :)

I bought this as a gift for my husband, for his birthday and we had a ball following all the clues and running The Rocks. It is really well thought out and despite thinking we knew quite a lot about The Rocks, we uncovered artworks, relics and views of Sydney we didn't know existed! I would definitely recommend this to both visitors for a really unique walk through The Rocks and Sydneysiders as I can almost guarantee you will uncover something you didn't know was there!! Was also very easy to remain at safe and socially distanced in the new COVID world

We had a cracking day on the e-bikes. Sal was super organised, friendly and helpful. We cycled out of Narooma rolling through the hinterland towards the Tilba winery. The e-bikes made going up the hills easy and we were able to cruise and chat. We navigated to the Tilba winery and enjoyed a couple of local brewskis. We then rolled into Tilba and had a great lunch at the Dromedary. And yes, a couple more brewskis. After a quick look around Richard loaded the bikes a d drove us back to Narooma. The e-bikes, Sal and Richard were the real stars of the day offering plenty of flexibility and support. Put this on you ‘must do list’ when you come to Narooma.
