The train ride was scenic and my son loved being able to drive and press the horn. The history tour of tunnels was informative.

A great trip, well worth the money.

The island is beautiful. The train journey was fun. The tour of the gun and tunnels was very interesting and the guide extremely knowledgeable. Overall a great trip.

A great trip.

Loved seeing the Quokkas and visiting the historic gun emplacements. A really great experience and well worth it.

Very cool

Published on May, 2023

The tour of the tunnels and the gun emplacement was very well done. The weather was a bit rough but still a good trip. Would have been nice if the lighthouse was included as there's down time between drop off at the island the afternoon tour of the installation.

Unsung heroes

Informative guide, this site is fascinating what a wonderful history. To think all of this was achieved without modern equipment.
