Kuranda Scenic Railway Day Trip from Cairns

Craig_C, Jul 2026

If you can combine unique...

If you can combine unique rides through the world's oldest rainforest with glimpses into its history, you've got the makings of a great trip. Heading out via cable car was a fun start to our day. Once in Kuranda, we had lunch, did some shopping where I bought a shirt featuring Aboriginal artwork, then we took a boat ride on the river before boarding the train back to Cairns. So much nature, history and fun, we didn't want the day to end.

Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour

Nettie_O, Jul 2026

Hugely interesting and satisfying.

This is a tour represents a great day of discovery for people of all ages and abilities. Our guide Dave was very engaging with the entire bus group (who ranged in age from 3 to 73) and remained enthusiastic throughout the day. His knowledge of the night sky at The Pinnacles was outstanding. I highly recommend this trip for young and old, there is something for everyone to learn. Much thanks to Dave .

Great tour

We really enjoyed this tour. It’s a full day but well balanced between variety of activities, entertainment and exploration of Daintree with easy walks. Warren is a great guide - knowledgeable, enthusiastic, with lots of real life experience. Relatively small groups, great food. We recommend this tour to those exploring QLD

Great Ocean Road Small-Group Eco Tour from Melbourne

Rong_Z, Jul 2026

What a lovely day with Alisha!

We had a lovely tour with Alisha! She went out of her way to make everyone feel comfortable. Enjoyed the conversation. The tour started with a tea stop that she organized with great muffins. The tour of the great ocean road was fantastic. It was well-timed with a great mix of walks, breaks, and sights along the way. We were lucky to see a koala and a few kangaroos on the way. A long day, but it was a lot of fun. Highly recommend Go West!!

Cape Tribulation, Mossman Gorge, and Daintree Rainforest Day Trip

Hrisanthi_D, Jul 2026

Travelling North

A great opportunity to get into the rainforest and learn about its intricacies from someone with expert knowledge. It was disappointing that the trip was advertised as being able to swim in the Mossman Gorge, yet when it rains it is not safe. And it rains often, and was raining the day I was there. Our guide told us not to swim. I also found out after the trip that it is a sacred Aboriginal site, so swimming isn't appropriate. I'm glad I didn't swim, but it is a shame that the site is not respected as an Aboriginal sacred site. Also, one of the tour highlights at the cultural centre was a smoke ceremony and introduction to local Aboriginal culture. This lasted for around 5mins. Although a very interesting part of the tour, it was not what I expected. The Daintree River cruise was beautiful and we saw some birdlike and 3 crocodiles. A highlight was walking through the rainforest track at Cape Tribulation and learning about the flora & fauna.

Phillip Island Penguins & Wildlife Day Tour from Melbourne

Krish_K, Jun 2026

A 10/10 experience

It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. I had the opportunity to see Australia’s unique wildlife and visit some truly breathtaking scenic locations. The Penguin Parade was an unforgettable highlight, and the entire experience was made even more enjoyable thanks to our tour guide, Tim. His insightful commentary and interesting information about the places we visited added great value to the tour and made it both engaging and memorable.

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.
