Just okay

3.00Some folks enjoyed a lot, but this is a small French operation and lower quality than most tours we’ve been on. When booking consider the season, the passenger van air conditioning “just broke” and there are only front windows. Tour guides are French and we had been hoping for a more “Australian” experience.
A wonderful wildlife adventure and beautiful island just outside the city

5.00Just back from an amazing adventure on Straddie Island. The wildlife is incredible and the island is stunning. Anto was the perfect guide. He was thoughtful and inclusive of all of the guests and made time to make the day extra special for everyone. He shared his knowledge and insight and found all the wildlife that we had hoped for including kangaroos, koalas, osprey, dolphins and turtles. It was a day I will never forget. Merci Anto!
Out and about

5.00This trip ticks a lot of boxes for a really great excursion: We saw gorgeous coast lines, enjoyed walking on the beach and swimming in the surf. We saw dolphins, wild Koala, wild kangaroos, and sea turtles. Enjoyed a beautiful sunset while on the Ferry heading from the island back to the mainland. Our guide Jack was low key, informative, and delivered on everything possible. The only thing we didn't see were whales but our trip was early November which is the tail end of whale season. All in all an amazing day and highly recommended.
Great day!

5.00Ivy was a great tour guide. Organised, informative and passionate about the trip. Good mix of sightseeing and relaxing so we saw lots of kangaroos and koalas, whilst also swimming and playing on the beach. Well worth the day trip out to see more of Queensland.
Very nice experience!

5.00Possibility to put your sandwich in the cooler provided by the agency. Ideal solution to picnic facing the sea and see the whales. Otherwise, dining possible on site (cafés and restaurants) but view on the road.
Excellent experience.

5.00This was an amazing experience. The ferry ride was beautiful with many whale and dolphin sightings. Our guide Ivy was very personable, kind, and knowledgeable about the island, its history, and about the wildlife. He went out of his was to make sure all of us had a great time. We was able to spot wildlife including kangaroos with joeys in their pouch, turtles, whales, gulla birds, and adorable koalas, including a mom and her baby. The ocean views are stunning and our guides company was wonderful. Highly recommend this trip and this travel company!!
