About this experience
This activity has been designed by a local ‘expert’, who has created a fun experience that takes you to some of the town’s highlights and the lesser-known places, away from all the tourists. The puzzles are designed to help you experience the place from a different perspective – using landmarks, murals, statues etc - and you’ll even learn some ‘fun facts’ along the way.
The self-guided aspect of your activity means that you can rush through as fast as you like or stop for a drink or something to eat as you like. The app remembers your progress and even allows you to complete your Adventure Hunt another day.
This activity aims to strike a fun balance between challenging puzzles, a fun outing with friends and family, and a pleasant walk around outside.

A Journey Through Culture, History, and Coastal Charm
Starting and ending at the ferry dock, this 2km circular walk guides you around the labyrinthine lanes of the Fishermen’s Quarter, through the pretty pedestrianised shopping area, and along the scenic waterfront.
