    We’ll 4WD along the surf beach to Norfolk Lagoon, a peaceful freshwater lagoon tucked behind the dunes. Here, we’ll hop out to spot local wildlife and enjoy a refreshing swim. We’ll also inflate two stand-up paddle boards for guests to share — a great way to relax on the water. From here, we continue the beach drive to Welsby Lagoon for a scenic lookout moment before cruising further north towards the historic Fort Bribie WWII bunkers. Built in the 1940s to protect the coastline, these remarkable concrete structures still stand today. You’ll have plenty of time to explore the bunkers, learn their history, and take in the rugged beauty of the island’s northern beaches.
