Loved our glass top bus and the views were absolutely amazing.Driving through untouched rain forest. Then being surrounded by Enormous snow capped mountains, water falls and dolphins and seals. The best day.

Great Driver Joe, best of all the seasons in one trip from blue skies to snow in 4 hours. Lunch was awesome go the Chicken and Mushroom Pie option.

Bus trip had a driver with such a heavy Scandinavian (?) accent we missed most of what he was saying. We didn’t stop at Mirror lake & the stops seemed to be just pullover on the side of the road - not sure on what we were looking at but that may have been the weather. Lunch was a pie with chips fruit & a muesli bar ( if the teens were boys they would have been starving) The other groups had huge sandwiches , snacks and a drink. . The bus ride limited numbers but the cruise had heaps more people (2-3 times) One drink machine which meant the wait time was ages. We managed to grab a drink just as they were closing it

The cruise part of this tour was great - the driver was entertaining and made sure we saw all the sights. Unfortunately we can’t say the same about the bus ride. We were split up as a family as the bus driver was supposed to allocate seats for groups but didn’t so as a family of 4 with 2 young children we had to sit separately. Apparently the driver ‘tried’ to negotiate with individuals to allow us to at least sit in pairs but we saw none of this. As the drive is a significant part of this tour, it was very uncomfortable and disappointing. You should never be paying this much for a tour and be made feel uncomfortable for so much of the day. I would recommend another company of you want to enjoy this tour with your family.
