We had a wonderful time. The tour was very well organised. The views were spectacular and the variety of activities amazing.

I had booked this tour, it said: "Ages 0-100", but a week or so before the trip day I got a message that the trip includes "stairs and steep inclines and some small overwater parts" so it actually doesn't sound as if it's for people between 0-100 years of age. I cancelled but did have a feeling that this trip was already booked full for a group of backpackers who were also on the next day tour when we went to cape hillsborough.

A real gem in Mackay, it is a lot more then seeing platypus, Michelle knows so much about the area and the nature. Seeing the cute platypus is a bonus. The lunch was amazing and the waterfall is a fun stop along the way.

Michelle was an absolutely amazing tour guide, it was so personal and fun and she was super knowledgable. Honestly the best tour I’ve ever been on, we went to the most beautiful places and were so lucky to see so many butterflies and platypus. Thank you so much, will be recommending to anyone doing the east coast :)

Amazing region to explore with a lot of wildlife and nature that is different from the rest of Australia. Fantastic local guide that really knows the region and the inside stories. She took a lot of nice pictures, was a good driver and played good music in the car.

We had an amazing experience end to end. We really appreciated the effort Amanda put in to collect us from our transport and drop us in Airlie. Michelle was an absolute legend, best tour guide we have had in Australia so far. Super knowledgeable about the area and really cared about our experience. She is also an excellent driver 😉.
