A brilliant day of adventure, wonderful views and great company. Craig is a great tour guide and excellent host. We learnt lots about the wildlife, felt very safe and there were a lot of laughs along the way. We would thoroughly recommend this trip to other families and groups.

We spent a fantastic day exploring Rainbow Beach and the surrounding area with Craig. He is a friendly, knowledgeable and engaging guide, and both myself and our 3 tween/teen kids enjoyed every moment. Craig tailored the tour to our interests and the kid's preferences (ie. less chatting, more swimming/eating!). The food and drink provided was plentiful and delicious, and pick-up was prompt. I can thoroughly recommend Craig and this tour: it was a real highlight of our whole Australia adventure.

Craig was amazing, he showed us the rainbow beach and explained all the history at every time during the trip. He also set up lunch and breaks and was always careful with us I highly recommend this tour because of the staff and the place

Highlight of the holiday. Our family consisted of ages 4-73. Craig and Greg were full of information and knowledge of the area and places we visited. Stoped for morning tea and lunch consisting of yummy wraps, sandwiches for the children, biscuits, tea, coffee fruit and various drinks. Beach driving was great fun getting close to the water. The lighthouse stop was amazing. Greg and Craig were really accommodating for my mum who has mobility issues. When she was unable to get out of the car, they would drive her around so she was able to watch the grandchildren play or see the best view. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see some amazing beaches, views and wildlife.

This was my favourite tour of my whole trip to Australia. Craig was very knowledgeable about everything - the beach, sands, tide, birds, etc etc. There wasn't anything he didn't know about the area. An expert driver, he drove us along the beach right at the water's edge which I'd never done before. As well as being the perfect guide, he was a nice guy and it was all around a great day. The beaches were beautiful. Highly recommended!

I did the beach and light house tour, it was fantastic, My guide was Craig, he was quite funny and very knowledgeable. He spoke about history, birds and the why the sands had different colours. We see whales, dolphins and turtles from the light house. There lunch on the and glass of wine to be had. What a great experience, I highly recommend this tour. cheers Gaz
