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.

Eddie_Z, Oct 2026

Fantastic trip

We had an amazing trip to the Twelve Apostles, and Steve made the whole experience even more special! He was incredibly kind, friendly, and funny, making the journey enjoyable from start to finish. What we really appreciated was that Steve gave us plenty of time to enjoy every stop without feeling rushed. He also went the extra mile by showing us wild koalas in the trees, which was such a wonderful surprise and a highlight of our trip! Steve is not only a great driver but also a fantastic guide who genuinely cares about making sure everyone has a great experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take us on this trip. Highly recommend Steve to anyone visiting the Twelve Apostles! Thanks, Steve, for making our trip so memorable!

A perfect day long tour that checks all the boxes.

First time visiting Australia & Melbourne and wanted to experience a lot of what made this region special and this tour checked off all the boxes. Marty was an awesome tour guide that mixed facts with fun making the long drive fun and engaging. The tour blended the perfect balance of food, sightseeing, and wildlife experiences and I don't think anything could be changed to make it better.

Great Ocean Road

It was a great tour. You see a lot of different things along the Great Ocean Road, from seaside towns to rainforests to the 12 Apostles. We saw a lot of local animals including koalas and kangarooos. The tour is long but went by quickly and was very well paced. Our guide, Lucy, was phenomenal - she provided a lot of interesting facts about each location and its culture and history. She also remembered everyone’s name and where they came from.

Full-Day Guided Bruny Island Tour from Hobart

Fernando_P, Oct 2026

Bruny Island with Davo, a perfect day in Tassie!

This was a great tour guided expertly by Davo. His knowledge, sense of humour and stories related the places and time was a real joy to listen to. Crossing the channel to Bruny Island was an opportunity to relax and have a 360 degrees of the beauty of the place. We did not succed in spotting white kangaroos this time, but searching for them was equally exciting. It seems these fellows were on leave that day. The oyster farm visit was fascinating, for those of us that like oysters the taste cannot be compared with the one purchased in Sydney, if you try these oysters, you are setting the bar so high that the Bruny Island oysters become a legend, like a dream. Thanks Davo for making this tour so great and unforgettable.

Phillip Island Penguins & Wildlife Day Tour from Melbourne

Lynne_B, Aug 2026

Penguins plus!!

What a fantastic day! Our guide Kevin helped us feel welcome from the first hello, gave excellent narrative, brought all of us 'bus people' together despite any language barriers. He truly loves Melbourne and wanted us to appreciate the city and environs through his eyes. The music playlist an entertaining touch... I enjoyed his playful yet passionate approach to his work, clearly his calling, and his expertise throughout the day as we anticipated the penguin experience. The crowds there were less daunting thanks to Kevin's skillful navigation and artistic white board visuals! This was a day and night to remember, made even more memorable thanks to Kevin’s first-rate guiding and of course innate GENIUS!!

Interesting educational get historical information and aestethic pleasure

It was a wonderful trip. I got tired of turning my head on the way - there are amazing views everywhere: coves, hills, fields, picturesque farms, we were lucky with the weather, the sky is blue overhead, the sun is shining ! Our guide and driver Rod is a charming man with a great sense of humor and a wonderful storyteller who loves and knows the history of his region. The place we visited is simply unique in its beauty, has an unusual dark and instructive history. I recommend this tour to everyone.

Kuranda Scenic Railway Day Trip from Cairns

Sunyoung_K, Jul 2026

It was a wonderful trip...

It was a wonderful trip to take with my family. We chose to take the train first and then the railway, but since it was quite crowded on the way back, I think it would be more enjoyable to take the railway up and the train back down to better manage your time. Nevertheless, it was a satisfying trip overall.

Perfect bruny island day trip

Everything was great! Pickup was on time and smooth, our guide was friendly and informative, no issues at any point during the day. I felt like we had enough time at each stop and we got home at the expected time. Food was incredible, the oysters and bread were so fresh. Even saw some albino wallabys and eagles.
