Top Australia Day Trips - page 53

This was the most wonderful day trip - full of beautiful places and experiences! It truly is a tour not to be missed. The smoking ceremony was a special start to the easy walk into the stunning Mossman Gorge and the optional swim or just a paddle in the pristine river water was invigorating. The road trip along the picturesque Captain Cook Highway alone, was an experience not to be missed and the view from the Rex Lookout, incredible! The riverboat trip on the Daintree River was fabulous in itself, so seeing the enormous crocodiles was an absolute unforgetable bonus. To top this most fantastic day off was walking out from the Daintree Rainforest on to the long white pristine beach at Cape Tribulation - just wow! This day was full of one beautiful spot after another, all day long! 11 hours that we will never forget! And of course I must mention our wonderful guide and driver, Matthew - a born and bred local who shared great insight and knowledge and his obvious love for this part of the country which made this perfect day, even better!

Abbey was such a great tour guide! The bus was clean and passed the random inspection along the way! - We had enough time in each of the locations And appreciated Abbeys antidotes along the way. - Even though we had a small breakfast prior, we were thankful for the coffee and toilet stop while she ordered our lunch which was absolutely delicious! - This tour was very.much thought out, so many little details accounted for. Thank you for all of the work you have put into this experience!

What a fun day exploring and getting up close and personal with many of the exotic Australian Animals! Our tour guide Aleks was the best! She gave us a lot of history about the different areas we visited that day and included some fun stories. We never felt rushed and she made our day very enjoyable. She gave us some good info on where to stand or walk to see different animals…she also made sure that our bus was visible and easy to find at each stop—loved her twinkling lights on the bus at night so we could find it easy too— very much appreciated! I really enjoyed our time at the moonlit sanctuary and feeding the kangaroos and wallabies. The informational show the staff puts on was very interesting too. We enjoyed seeing the beach swim boxes and beaches. The cliff area was interesting where the penguins also live, & she showed us some wild kangaroos too, but my favorite excursion was the penguin parade on Phillips Island! Aleks told us what was the best scenario so we had time to get dinner, shop, and see the penguins come out of the ocean. She also told us to walk over to one side on way out to hear and possibly see the penguins in their burrows. The entire experience is one I will always cherish as a lifetime memory! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys seeing animals in nature! It was amazing!
