Anita is a fabulous guide…very knowledgeable about the environment. We saw so many beautiful birds! Also, we saw kangaroos!!! Lovely lunch at outdoor restaurant on the water. I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves nature and wildlife.

Anita was THE best! My best friend and I went on a girls trip to Australia from Texas (USA), and we kind of booked things last minute. We could not be happier to have had Anita as our guide for the day. She was cool, informative, showed us natural vegetation, actual kangaroos in the wild along our hike, and was overall just a delight! We had a lovely lunch. I can't say enough good things about this experience.

Our tour with Anita was absolutely fantastic. She picked us up directly from our hotel and took us to the Tinchi Tamba wetlands. Anita was full of information during the drive and also during the walk. She answered all of our many questions and was also incredibly patient and friendly. We saw kangaroos right away and later got fairly close to a kangaroo - Anita instructed us to walk peacefully behind her. We felt very safe and in awe of the experience. In addition to telling us a plethora of information about kangaroos, Anita knew the name of every bird we saw, and pointed out the interesting flora and fauna of the area. We saw crabs in the mangroves, spotted many birds (including the very interesting Ibis), visited the Osprey House, and enjoyed a scenic drive along the water. We finished with a delicious lunch in Scarborough. Anita was a delight and we very much enjoyed our time with her. I highly recommend this private, very educational tour.

Had a great day with Anita. We saw kangaroos as soon as we entered the park. We saw 3 separate mobs of kangaroos including a family of a dozen family members. Anita is very knowledgeable about the numerous species of birds that we saw during the tour. She took us to a very relaxing spot on the water for lunch. Excellent seafood.

Our guide ( Anita) was led by the group’s interests -we were a group of 3 .We learnt a great deal about the local wildlife and saw kangaroos and lots of birds ( including ospreys ) , with Anita also explaining about the trees and plants on a great walk through the outback . During the sight seeing drive ,post walk , we talked about life in Australia , housing , schools and much more . All fascinating ! We had lunch sitting outside in a restaurant which was busy with lots of locals - always a good sign . I would recommend this trip to anyone . We were on a cruise and Anita picked us up at the port .Communication was excellent .

This trip was absolutely amazing. My whole goal was to see kangaroos in the wild. And the day didn't disappoint. 2 minutes into our walk we spotted a little group. We seen approximately a dozen plus on our walk. The whole day was filled with great information about wildlife and Australia. My guide Anita was friendly, informative, and was able to answer all my questions.

We had a wonderful day with Anita. She picked us up directly from the cruise pier to start the tour. It was fabulous to see kangaroos in the wild as well as some of the beautiful coastline and outlying villages. We had some delicious fish and chips at a casual beachside lunch spot before heading back. Anita is very knowledgeable and professional, as well as personable. I highly recommend her tour.

We had a great experience with Anita showing us the wildlife, natural phenomena, and coastal neighborhoods in the area north of Brisbane. Conditions were less than ideal after quite heavy recent rains but four kangaroos showed up for us. Anita pointed out numerous birds and also discussed the aquatic fauna. She spoke of the beneficial properties of the three types of mangroves. We had a pleasant drive through Brighton, Margate, and Redcliffe and a very casual lunch in a bakery cafe. Anita is very personable and attuned to the desires of her clients. We would only have wished for a little more legroom in the Nissan! Great tour and we highly recommend it.

This nature tour was a wonderful private tour. Just the two of us and Anita, the owner of the company. She was fantastic. She gave us a wonderful outdoor nature experience out in the wetlands of the mangroves where we also saw several wild kangaroos roaming around. Experienced a couple of them hoping off really fast in front of us. So cool. She also gave us an education on the flora and fauna on our walk. Saw an Osprey nest with a live camera on their chick at the Osprey Center and learned a lot about these birds from the docents who volunteer there. Lunch was wonderful near the water along the coast. I highly recommend doing this tour with Anita. She used to be a park ranger.

This tour was fantastic! Loved being in nature with a former park ranger and you really can't beat the custom tour without the crowds! Kangaroos made an awesome showing!!!
