Very cool day trip for solo travellers - I had a very cool day trip with Pete that covered a couple of beautiful places that you can otherwise only reach by car. It was well organized and the group was friendly. I enjoyed each of the stops and didn’t feel I had to rush at any of them which was really nice.

Rainforest Tour - James was an excellent tour guide. He made the trip very fun, while keeping everything on track. We spotted lots of wildlife that I would have never spotted on my own. James is really good at what he does and knows how to make everyone feel welcome in the group. I would highly recommend this tour after my experience with this guide.

Well-managed tour! - Well-managed trip with a good variety of activities. Trail-walking interspersed with reasonable drive times. We saw quite a few animals, had a lovely lunch, and learned a ton. James was informative and kept our group engaged. Definitely a must-do, according to my niece who lives in the area and enjoyed the tour very much!

Amazing Tour with Knowledgeable Guide - This tour was worth the cost, especially if you do not have a car. Our guide, Shane, was extremely knowledgeable about the sites and wildlife. The tour was not rushed and allowed plenty of time to explore each location. The small group size also made this a valuable experience. If you are looking to visit multiple sites in one day, this is the tour you need. Yes, there is a significant amount of driving between each location, but that is to be expected when there are multiple stops. The hikes/walks were not challenging but I definitely recommend wearing good sneakers or hiking boots.

A Great Day!!! - Our guide Pete was great. The tour involves some hiking but you see some spectacular views. Pete explained lots about the jungle and made the trek very interesting. The glow worm cave was interesting and something very unique to see. A great day!!!

We saw a Koala in the wild!!! - The tour guide, James, was excellent. His ability to spot animals was uncanny, we even managed to see a Koala and her Joey in the trees at the dam. A great tour and definitely recommended

Beautiful but difficult to navigate for older adults. - The rainforest is beautiful and fascinating, but although the guide warned us about snakes (didn’t see any), he didn’t mention the leeches. There are lots of stairs, especially in Springbrook, so if, like me, you have knee or hip problems, think twice before booking.
