After a short hike, relax with ‘Priscilla’ the beer drinking pig at the Pub in the Paddock. We finish our day at the breathtaking Bay of Fires, with a stroll along the pristine white sands or a swim in the sparkling turquoise water (weather permitting). We stay overnight in the seaside township of Bicheno. After dinner, take an optional tour to see little penguins nesting (at own expense). (LD)Tour Day 2 - Bicheno to Pt Arthur
