I’d like to congratulate Darryl and the team for making our trip to Dangar Island such a memorable experience. The weather was perfect (ok that part is good luck) and the pace was leisurely and relaxing. A boat ride in a beautifully restored timber boat across the Hawkesbury river was a treat as we saw locals transporting their shopping from the mainland to their island home or returning home from other travels. Darryl had organised lunch on the waterfront at the quaint cafe but not before taking us on a walking tour of this car less paradise. Beautiful views all around and a strip of beach paradise was there to be discovered. I could go on but to sum up the day I would say if you want a relaxing day with a knowledgable and personable guide contact Darryl and the team. I’m so glad we did.
