    Great tour but with a sneaky extra charge

    Dan_S, Jul 2025
    Great tour guide who had helpful tips for the penguins. Not very long at koala park and entry is expensive so we opted for minigolf for the 2 kids at the same place. Great fun! Took a star off for sneaky extra charge of $5 per head for 'gratuities'. We paid it without fuss as our driver/guide Curtis was amazing. Otherwise this is a sneaky/unreasonable move by the company Extragreen Holidays, they should not be doing this in my opinion.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Dear, Thank you very much for your kind support. We would like to sincerely apologize for the confusion during your recent tour. As some guests in the group were required to pay tips, it may have caused a misunderstanding, and we are truly sorry for any inconvenience this may have brought you. To make things right, we would be grateful if you could kindly provide your Australian bank account details, so we can arrange a refund of the tip as soon as possible. Thank you again for your understanding and patience. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns. Warmest regards,

    Great

    Children are likely to find this more interesting than adults, but it is still worth the time to make the trip.

    I had a great time, the driver / guide was extremely kind and friendly. We saw several typical animals of Australia and breathtaking landscapes! I found it useful to have several hours of travel by bus, so I could rest between visits.
