Cape Tribulation, Mossman Gorge, and Daintree Rainforest Day Trip

Will_M, Apr 2026

DT Rainforest Tour 🤌

What a wonderful tour to say the least. Shout out to my tour guide Matt (guys a legend). The smoke ceremony was cool and interesting. Mossman gorge was beautiful and fun to swim in. The cruise was unreal. I see the alpha male croc Scarface, a female scooter, and several baby crocs. Cape tribulation was also stunning. To wrap it up the ice cream place was great. Matt was an absolute beauty of a tour guide. He had all sorts of knowledge on the areas as well as a bunch of great stories. Super cool dude and made the day great.

Litchfield National Park and Jumping Crocodile Cruise

Kerryn_D, Apr 2026

Amazing day out- highly recommend

Damo ran an informative and fun day trip to Litchfield NP. Day started with a crocodile cruise on the Adelaide River where we managed to see several large male crocs, and then continued to see the termite mounds and several stunning waterholes/ falls in Litchfield NP. Really great day with lots of fantastic information imparted. Lunch and snacks were included. Take your bathers as there's swimming opportunities. Thanks Damo for a fantastic day!

Blue Mountains Small Group Tour with Waterfall Walk & Fresh Lunch

Deanna_M, Apr 2026

Blue Mountain Review

This tour is very active. We took 3 separate hikes and there were lots of stairs. I would say it was moderate with an option to do even more. Hikes were beautiful and Zac did a great job teaching us about the area. The day moved along at a good pace and we didn’t feel rushed at all. Highly recommend for people who want to be active and see the beautiful Blue Mountains

Great Barrier Reef Snorkeling and Diving Cruise from Cairns

Ryan_M, Apr 2026

Great day at the Great...

Great day at the Great Barrier Reef. For a crowded ship (ours has well over 100 passengers), the staff did a great job of keeping everything moving and the boat was roomy enough to spread out and sun during the trek to the reefs, We didn’t realize extras like the Marine Zoo Tour could be booked in advanced so rush to do that when you board if it’s of interest. Food was better than we thought.

Phillip Island Penguins & Wildlife Day Tour from Melbourne

Xiaowen_W, Apr 2026

Best Tour Experience in Melbourne

An amazing day tour! The guide, Ben, was excellent—he gave a thoughtful introduction to Melbourne's culture and attractions. The itinerary was very well-organized, with plenty of time allowed for taking photos and sightseeing at each stop. The guide also thoughtfully prepared little stools for us—absolutely loved it!

our tour guide is very enthusiasm for view introduction，the disco light make our bus very easy to be found at night！The nobbies center is soooo beautiful and i love the wildlife in moonlit park，kangaroos and koalas are cute.The only pity is that koala event was sold out because we were in easter festival. Overall，it is a wonderful trip.

Kuranda Scenic Railway Day Trip from Cairns

Ron_S, Apr 2026

Kuranda village train and skyrail

We took the train ride up to Kuranda and the Sky Rail back down. This is the recommended route. The train was a replica of what was used to transport people back in the day. Be advised, on a warm humid day, the lack of AC on board can be uncomfortable, bring a portable fan, you will thank me later! The train ride waws about 2hours going up- its a slow go- one stop at Barron Falls, you can get out for about 10mins and take some great photos. Depending on the time of year, the falls were be stronger than others. There was an automated recording documenting certain points of interest along the train route and you are given a map to follow along. Kuranda village is super cute. Lots of gift shops, different places to eat and get drinks. We did the Koala experience which is an extra purchase and well worth it. You do not hold the little guy but you can touch / pet it and get to take a picture with it as well. We purchased all tickets ahead of time just to guarantee we had a spot. We also got to interact with the Kangaroos slightly , they seemed to be bothered by the rain and did not have much interest interacting with us. Sky rail return lets you get off at two stops to enjoy small walks thru the rainforest. Return trip was approx 45min to an hour. Soaring high over the rainforest offered impeccable views of the coastline. Highly recommend this experience.

Full-Day Guided Bruny Island Tour from Hobart

Jean_C, Mar 2026

Bruny Island is a must-do!

Truly a highlight of our trip, Ben was a great tour guide--considerate, thoughtful of guests' needs, kind and friendly, and a good driver! The tour was well paced with lots of great stops. Comfortable bus, a/c, good seats. Loved the respect paid to indigenous peoples, woven throughout the trip. Highly recommended!

Kangaroo Island in a Day Tour from Adelaide

Virginia_H, Feb 2026

Incredible day!

This is an amazing experience and would highly recommend. Know that it’s about a 90 min bus drive to start, however bus was very comfortable and in the hills there were lots of kangaroos. On the island our driver Richard was 10/10. Great stories, good info, safe driver. Be prepared for it to be very windy and cold- even in the midst of summer. Every stop is beautiful, lots of driving between each stop but honestly it was very relaxing- lots of little naps. Really delicious lunch as well. If traveling from abroad bring a charger as there’s no service and our phones were draining the battery. Also, if a koala cuddle is offered at the sanctuary DO IT!

Rottnest Island Round-Trip Ferry from Perth

Rosalie_M, Jan 2026

Enjoyed the day on the island

Picked up the tickets the day before as the tour operator was very busy on the morning of the tour. Long queue to get on. Limited outside seating on the ferry and limited upstairs seating inside. Staff very friendly on the ferry. Great views along the river and commentary was informative. Island lovely to walk around plenty to see and do for the long day.

Litchfield Day Tour from Darwin with Offroad Dreaming

Dianne_C, May 2025

A Beautiful Day in Nature

Absolutely beautiful day taking in the sights, water holes and sensational vistas in the Litchfield National Park. Mike was an excellent Guide/Driver, extremely knowledgeable, with a good sense of humour. He regaled us with so much information as we drove along, which made the kilometres go by so quickly. The water holes were so refreshing and the lunch provide was both fresh and enjoyable Thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Highly recommend this tour with Outback Dreaming
