Gave a quick lesson on how to use the boat without being over the top. Provided options of where to go on the waterway depending on what we were wanting to do. Had good local knowledge and helped make for a great boatig experience.
Well maintained equipment that was easy to use, great place to hire a boat and get some local knowledge.
The place itself was very unorganised and unprofessional. It appeared that the owners and their family were sleeping on-site, with dogs and children around. This did not feel like a properly managed or professional business at all.
When we arrived for the first time, the staff were not helpful whatsoever. We were there with two young children on a very windy day. The boat was pushed toward the shore, and the water was very shallow. We needed assistance, but the staff refused to help. Instead of offering support, they were rude, dismissive, and simply shook their heads. Our children were crying, and the situation was stressful and unsafe.
The lack of care, responsibility, and basic customer service was shocking. The staff were disrespectful and showed no concern for safety, especially with children involved.
I strongly do not recommend this place to anyone. The boats are dangerous, the people are rude, and the business does not meet basic safety or professional standards. Authorities or compliance bodies should inspect this place before someone gets seriously hurt.
There were 8 of us on the lake, boys had a ball fishing and us mums enjoyed spotting dolphins even saw a turtle!
We'll definitely be back, thanks again 😊
Price seemed reasonable to us.
Peter (we assumed that's his name) was great to deal with, a very nice man
What an awesome experience, with all the scenery that Tuncurry Forster has to offer we also saw 2 families of dolphins.
My boys were ecstatic!
One thing I’d also like to add, blue Peter boat shed is a small family local business, husband and wife and a few tinlids. Be sure to support them as there boats and services are next to none.
I will be back for another round next year.
We felt well received! We even managed to add an extra hour to the 2 hours tour as we enjoyed our time on the small sand island across the bridge.
Cherry on the cake, Sandra is French as us so it definitely helped to get all the guidances in our native language. Always good to meet a fellow friend!
We had a great time. Wallis lake is stunning.
Unfortunately. I think we were the only family ever to have fished the lake and not catch anything! Maybe next time.
