Absolutely loved it. Couldn’t have asked for a better trip and just wish we had spent longer in Tasmania. Wildlife, scenery and people were amazing. Big thank you to Susie at the tour operator we had a brilliant time. (more)Michelle Read
Memorable parts?
The tour operator gave great advice and the whole rain forest/barrier reef experience was excellent. Most memorable would be the night time in Rose Gums hearing the rain forest come alive to the sounds of so many animals.
Tips?
Do the SkyTrain trip over the rain forest from Cairns to Kuranda and back. Consider the outer reef rather than Low Isles if you want full on barrier reef experience - will have more env impact.
Local benefits?
Yes. The use of ... (more)Philip Lawrence

One word - brilliant! The whole holiday was a great experience but the first 5 days with my guide Coreena were the best. The thought she put in to give me a whole Tassie experience - the wildlife, flora, food, history - was exceptional. (more)Barbara Pashley

Memorable parts?
Having a very close encounter with a baby koala, rescued from the main road by our driver/guide Jeremy. Although his mum was up a tree nearby, after sitting at the bottom and thinking about it, he decided to head back towards the road, so
we travellers blocked his path. He came right to my feet and sat down!! Very special moment I will never forget.
Tips?
We could only book a 2 day trip as we were leaving for Tasmania but the company was very accommodating ... (more)Vivienne Grimes

Travelling along the Ocean Drive road and thanks to Pierre, our guide and driver, showing us places and providing loads of interesting information, which we would never have had doing the trip between Melbourne and Adelaide on our own.

Sue and I had a wonderful time on this 8 Day Self Guided Great Ocean Walk. This was our first trip with the holiday provider and our first trip to Australia. We live in Seattle, Washington, USA and are looking forward to returning and doing more trips with holiday provider , which we highly recommend.
Before the trip, Amy at the holiday provider was very helpful and informative. We had requested dates which conflicted with a holiday weekend in Melbourne and did not ... (more)Alan Sherbrooke
Memorable parts?
Swimming as the only group in Baird bay with sea lions and dolphins, who chose to come to see us - we were not inflicted on them - so responsible encounter.
Tips?
Be aware that the 6 day Eyre Peninsula trip is sandwich in with two other tours - you go out of Adelaide for 2 days with one group (heading to Perth) and then are transferred to another group on day three (who are heading to Adelaide). Admittedly you go to different places on the way back, but also ... (more)Karen Shaw
