Fantastic great day on 9 August 2025 visiting Paranella Park and its many sights of interesting architecture, waterfalls and many exotic gardens with a Park Guide to explain its history. The Milla Milla falls was also beautiful and a swim tempting. Lunch at Meena Creek Pub was delicious and wholesome and well organised. Our Tour Driver was Steve who is well versed on all the sites and kept us all well entertained with his gereat sense of humour. He took us to some extra lookout sights too. A great day and good value for money.

Excellent day trip with a very experienced friendly driver with good knowledge of sites, customs and history . Morning tea and lunch were both tasty and enjoyable , The stop at the fig Tree was enhanced by watching tree kangaroo. The Paronella park was extremely interesting- what a monument to one man's dream! The park tour guide was very theatrical in his presentation which made the tour even more interesting. To finish of the day our driver detoured to the "Boulders", an unexpected site tour that was not on itinerary but very interesting and worthy of a visit

From start to finish this was an awesome day. Our guide (Darryl) was extremely knowledgeable and informative. He engaged with every nationality on our trip. The cream teas were divine and swimming in the waterfall was an awesome experience. I wish I had taken ocean shoes as the waterfall was rocky underfoot as you got in.
Fantastic. Well worth the day

We were picked up at the given time. Our guide for the day was informative and very good. The Paronella Park was the definite highlight although we had a wonderful day. The weather wasn't great but it didn't detract from the day at all
