AND THAT’S A WRAP FOR SUMMER 2026 ☀️🌿

What a fun season it’s been, sharing Raymond Island with visitors and locals who took the time to slow down, unwind and explore our special little place.

We’re truly grateful for the respect shown to our wildlife and our community — it makes a real difference. We’ve loved the many conversations and connections along the way… and we’ll definitely miss the laughter of families working together to ride the surrey bikes!

We’re now taking a short break and will be back for the King’s Birthday long weekend in June and the July school holidays — refreshed, recharged, and ready to go with a new bike or two and plenty of energy 🚲

If you’re planning a visit, keep us in mind — we’d love to see you.

See you again soon 🐨
