5.00James was an excellent driver and host. Really enjoyed the day - saw koalas kangaroos wallabys sea turtles and lots of birds. James was very knowledgeable and it was so much easier going on an organised tour than drive ourselves. Would recommend. Now looking to book the rainforest day tour.
If you like stunning views and wildlife then this is the trip for you!

5.00I was worried the weather may spoil the day as I went on a day with storms and rain forecast but if anything it added to it and we did get some sun too! The island is stunning and there is so much wildlife to see! Our guide James showed us so many kangaroos and koalas! We got to see a group female kangaroos with joeys still in the pouches (just!!) and several groups of males including two males sparring! We saw not one but 2 super pods of dolphins who put on quite a show! There were also turtles and a stingray and some lizards and a skink! The storm blew in and gave us some great photos and then the sun followed so we could enjoy the beautiful beaches! I would definitely go back and do this tour again! Thank you James for a great day in the most beautiful place

5.00This day trip was absolutely incredible and is for people who want to see a lot of what Queensland has to offer in terms of scenery and wildlife. All the lovely locations made it a such relaxing day trip, despite seeing a lot of things! The wildlife was outstanding: we saw wild Koalas, Kangaroos, Whales, Dolphins, Turtles, Kookaburra, Galahs, plus lots of lizards! The tour guide James was great - he's very knowledgeable, answering any questions I had and he really wanted everyone to have a good time!
Brilliant tour -Very Good Value.

5.00Well organised trip making it stress free and with all stops offering brilliant views of wildlife and/or beaches. Gorge walk was so exciting with sightings of whales, dolphins, a turtle and manta ray. Extra treat was seeing 2 male kangaroos having a “box on”about territory. Pete our tour guide was very helpful and full of interesting information.
A brilliant, informative trip with amazing scenery and wild life.
