  Fantastic trip, beyond beautiful. The scenery was breathtaking. Rio is a great guide. We saw dolphins, giant turtles, manta rays, kangeroos and koalas. A fabulous day.

  It was a really great tour with a funny tour guide. It can rain very suddenly, we just got soaking wet at one stop as walking at the Brown Lake (bring an umbrella if the weather forecast any possibility of rain), which was our first stop, but dried up at the next stop. The coastal walk was amazingly beautiful, and the beach stop was really nice. I wish we spent less time having lunch at the restaurant and had more time by the beach. We also saw kangaroos in the wild, spotted a pod of dolphins, saw turtles in the sea, crabs by the beach as we were out looking for koalas and saw one of them as well sleeping high up on a tree. I would probably recommend a bit less time looking for koalas and more to spend on the beach, or bring your own picnic lunch and have it on the beach. We had a great time overall! Would totally recommend this trip to anyone.

• Lack of customer support

  I had a visit booked on the 18th of January. I send a text message to inform that I won't make it on time since I missed my train (I don't drive) and that it's totally understandable that they have to leave. Though what I could have expected is a reply back to say "we are sorry you missed this trip but knowing the price you paid, we could offer you a discount if you want to book again or to reschedule for another day" I received nothing at all which lack of customer support.

• Hidden Gem with opportunity to see Koalas and Kangaroos, and many other wildlife.

  What a great day with HIT THE ROAD TOURS, Rio our guide was very nice. I sat next to him on the short drive to the ferry and we had a nice talk between ourselves and the gentlemen just behind him who also asked a few questions. He played a nice mix of soothing music for those in the back, and gave information over a mike when we past a point of interest for those in the back so they could hear. A short 25 minute ferry ride later and we were on Straddie. We saw several Koalas and Kangaroos on this beautiful day. The island itself is very pretty and well worth going to on a tour. There is a coastal loop walk that has many stairs for those with mobility issues. The views on that walk are beautiful, we saw a few Kangaroos, spotted many sea turtles and one Manta Ray. There is an opportunity to eat after the coastal loop walk if you finish early or to get some yummy gelato. You will have plenty of time to eat when you go to Cylinder beach as well, but if you eat after the coastal loop walk you will have more time at the beach (there are stairs down to this beach too). At Cylinder beach there is a restaurant at top, plus some vendors selling smoothies, acai bowls, fruit juices, and milkshakes (delicious) behind the trees at the lagoon side of the beach. I enjoyed Stradbroke more than Moreton island ( more things to do and see here in my opinion, plus numerous beautiful beaches and food options). Although we did have a very nice snorkel at the wrecks on Moreton and they have the sand dunes. Straddie is a hidden gem, and well worth the trip with this tour operator.
