This trip was a delight from start to finish. Our guide Cherene took such care of everyone in our small group of 7 with a wealth of knowledge and experience. The Bowen area is beautiful with lush sugar cane fields and some of the most sparkling beaches I have ever seen. The highlight was Horseshoe Bay, where we stayed for close to two hours, had a lovely morning tea and enjoyed the sun and a swim. For lunch we had some wonderful fresh fish and chips. I would recommend this tour run by the wonderful Cherene, to anyone who wants to see more of this area. Not to be missed.
