💡 Tips

  • The Bli Bli Watersports Complex is incredibly popular in summer; book your aqua park or wakeboarding sessions in advance.
  • The local Sunshine Castle is a striking medieval-style landmark; check its current opening hours as it mostly hosts events and tours.
  • Public transport is limited, so having a rental car makes exploring the surrounding river spots much easier.
