Amazing tour

Aroa_G, Mar 2020
Amazing! Andrew is cool and the tour is worth and authentic. We had a lot of fun together and I learnt surfing. What else I could ask?

YuiiiiiiiiS, Dec 2019
Amazing road tripping with full of fun and music😊🤙🌊is not just tour, doesn't even feel tour. We made our own tripping together. The best road tripping ever!!

Response from Host, Nov 2026

Love that it didn't even feel like a tour to you. The music, the surf and the road trip spirit were all down to a great crew, so thanks for being a big part of it. Andrew & the Teepee Tours team

Best Experience

Kiyah_M, Dec 2018
If you’re a little bit younger this tour is amazing! Meals were all provided, sites were beautiful and I met the best group of people to experience it with. Andrew the tour guide was young, really funny and was such a great person to have running the tour. He did a great job, and I know this tour will be a memory for me. Definitely recommend!!

Response from Host, Nov 2026

Thanks for such a kind review! Glad the meals hit the spot and that you ended up with such a great group to share the trip with. Andrew & the Teepee Tours team

Andrew and Adam make this tour...

Otava P, Mar 2016
Andrew and Adam make this tour pretty much a genuine Aussie experience: a holiday weekend or 2 days on the beach, in the water, barbecuing and late night chilling. Just like heading out with a few friends for a relaxed weekend. With a few special twists, of course, like the awesomely cool teepees. One word of warning though: Andrew and Adam are not very good at counting. So if you are a vegetarian, make sure to repeat this often and loudly so that you will get enough food.

Response from Host, Nov 2026

Thanks for the kind words, and fair call on our counting! Sorry the vegetarian food fell short on your trip, we always want everyone well fed and that's a good lesson. Glad the beach, the barbecue and the teepees still made it a genuine Aussie weekend. Andrew & the Teepee Tours team

Such an amazing tour with the best...

Cheryl D, Jan 2016
Such an amazing tour with the best tour guides, Adam, Andrew and of course Riley the dog. They are top guys and went from being our tour guides to great friends of ours. They made the tour an unforgettable experience. The surf lesson, food and night in the teepee was great! Actually the entire couple of days were great! Could not recommend this tour enough and I think it is safe to say our entire group had the best time! Also Adam thinks he is way funnier than he actually is... just saying buddy Thanks for a brilliant time guys, hope to see you again soon!

Response from Host, Nov 2026

Thanks Cheryl! Riley, Adam and I loved having your group along, and going from guides to friends was always the best part. Adam has been told about the comedy situation, and he's still not convinced. Andrew & the Teepee Tours team
