K'gari (Fraser Island) All Inclusive Day Tour

Paul_S, Nov 2026

Fantastic visit to K'gari

My friend Justin and I had a wonderful day trip to K'gari. Our guide, Paul, was both a fantastic 4WD driver and a great source of information about the island. He had a relaxed engaging personality. We went to all the sites mentioned in the tour description. Morning tea and lunch at Eurong were excellent. Highly recommended!

WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive

Marisa_T, Nov 2026

Do Not Miss This!!

This is an unforgettable experience and if you do not book it, you will be missing out! My dad and I were looking for activities to do on our vacation and saw this tour. We thought it would be fun but it was beyond our wildest dreams. We got to see tons of wombats and kangaroos up close in the wild. Dave was a fantastic guide and pointed out all sorts of other wildlife during our tour for us to capture pictures of. He is very knowledgable on wombats and made the tour that much more exciting. It was fun to see the Carrington Falls too but the wombats and kangaroos are where it is at! The dinner was fantastic and it was a small group which allowed you to chat with fellow travellers on the tour. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I am so glad I got to make so many great memories with my dad!

Phillip Island Penguins & Wildlife Day Tour from Melbourne

Martina_P, Nov 2026

Awesome Tour

The day bus trip was very well planned. It was about a 12 hour trip but the stops were well spaced out and the day was full of wonderful experiences. The Moonlit Sanctuary was a great place to see Australia’s unique animals plus we got to pet a koala (prebooked). The tour operator, Jaquie, was very lovely and told us historical facts of Melbourne and Phillip Island as we were driving. She also told us where the best spots were to see the penguins. The little penguins were awesome and extremely cute. It was a great day to see the beauty of nature.

Great Ocean Road Reverse Itinerary Boutique Tour - Max 12 Guests

R7887XXmaggies, Nov 2026

Amazing

What a day! I can only recommend that everyone take the reverse tour; it's less crowded at the stops, a smaller bus, only 10 people, and also very good for a solo traveler. First of all, I have to highlight Wayne, a great guide and driver who told us many stories and facts about Australia and the tour and always looked out for our well-being. I felt very well taken care of! The tour is long because the 12 Apostles are 300km away, but the many stops along the way and the drive along the coast made the time go by faster. We had enough time at the individual attractions and were able to take many photos or enjoy the sun. The absolute highlight was seeing Australian animals in the wild. Dolphins on the coast, cockatoos, parrots, koalas, and kangaroos. Great day!

Fabulous experience and excellent tour guide.

Chris provided us with a memorable and fantastic experience! His lively commentary kept us all entertained and prepared for the journey! He informed us about the weather, all of the stops along the way and gave us excellent information and suggestions for getting snacks, finding bathroom facilities, and water! We enjoyed the delicious lunch provided. He also made sure to let everyone know the skills needed to climb to the bottom of the falls. He also provided us with his cell phone number in case anybody needed to get in touch with him in case of emergency. All in all a fabulous experience and a highlight of our trip!! WELL DONE CHRIS!!

Fun and insightful tour with Bill

Bill made it a great experience. He opened with a history of both Australia and the sites we would visit, so I arrived at each stop with context and a real appreciation for what I saw. Bill managed time well. He kept the day running smoothly. At each stop, he shared tips on the local food, the shops worth visiting, and the sites themselves. He also counted heads before every departure to make sure everyone was on the bus, which reassured me as a solo traveler. What stood out most was how much Bill cared about the people on the tour. He remembered each person’s name and details about them, and he showed genuine curiosity about who we were. That personal touch turned a good trip into a great one.

Spectacular Great Ocean Road trip

Went on the Great Ocean Road trip with Cloe, our fun informative and professional guide and driver. The trip was comprehensive and well paced that allowed us to stop at several spots for the views, koala spotting and nature walks before the must see 12 Apostles! And the Razorback after was spectacular as Cloe suggested. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip on a beautiful sunny day. Highly recommend and thank you Cloe

Great Barrier Reef Snorkeling and Diving Cruise from Cairns

PamelaKeevil, Oct 2026

Unmissable bucket list experience.

Excellent all round. The staff were professional but fun, empathic and good humoured. We felt well taken care of as husband has epilepsy and we are both over 70. Save time for the submersible. Take a couple of towels each and an easy wear top as the main cabin is air conditioned. Sitting on the deck when the sun shone onto the reef was awe inspiring and humbling. The company has a great ethos, helping to preservev this wondef of nature.

William_S, Oct 2026

Great day trip to the Daintree Rainforest!

What a great day out to the Daintree rainforest! Our guide Layla was just amazing, and kept us informed and organized all day long and it is a long day! Loved the 2 walks in the rainforest, dipping our toes in the gorge and seeing the croc babies and large male croc "scarface" (poked his head up for a second) on the river tour . We looked for cassowaries but alas did not see any. Ice cream at the end was yummy with great locally grown fruit flavors! Highly recommend this day trip!
