Great family day

We had a great day with the family on this trip. From the 4wd ride to the beach and surfing was amazing for the kids. Would definitely recommend this for families. There was a Bay Area very sheltered for playing and younger kids amd waves for surfing. Tour guides were great, nice bit of information on the way out and back about the area, pointing out wildlife etc.
