5.00Wow! What an amazing day. Our guide, Wolf, showed us so many amazing sites. In addition, this tour takes you to very beautiful locations that offer a variety of options between hiking and water features. The water slide at the falls was so much fun. In addition, we were lucky to have great wildlife sightings that included many birds, turtles, fish in clear view, tree kangaroos (with a baby) and platypus. We had such a wonderful day. Thank you!
Lots of fun! A bit of driving…but the waterfalls and swimming were great!!

5.00We really enjoyed this tour! The driver Paige was very conscientious about safe driving and Wolf was a big help and a lot of fun!! We saw a cassowary and a platapus!! Fun music on the drive and the sandwich lunch was pretty good! There was at least 3 hrs of driving but it was pretty broken up between swimming stops…One of our favorite tours for sure!
