While a long day, this tour ranks as one of the best we have taken. The magnificent scenery, perfect pacing, small group, and great driver guide combined to make the tour worth the time and money!

Overall fabulous trip. First stop is after approx 2 hours. Can be quite cold with offshore wind blowing fiercely. A lot is packed in so just enough time at each stop. Audio app is accessible to download as well as driver/guide giving info throughout trip.

Loved seeing the expansive coast, plant and animal life outside of the city, and learning the history of the area. Chris was our guide and absolutely fantastic - clearly loves sharing his lifetime of memories in the area. Beautiful stops along the way provided plenty of activity, great food and unforgettable views.

Great value for money experience. The guide (James) knew a lot and was very friendly. Always asking if he should take pictures, offered advice and explanations. He also had good go to places for watching wild koalas and kangaroos.

A very well organized tour, very varied and fun. The experience on the beach with the kakatua is particularly beautiful. The only thing I would change is to eliminate the visit to the chocolate shop and devote more time to the forest and the beach.
