Booked this trip for my parents and they had a great day. Guide was extremely knowledgable and friendly- would recommend!

Melanie_P

James our guide was phenomenal! Took us to beautiful walking trails along dramatic beaches. He has a keen eye for finding various types of sea life, such as pods of dolphin & sharks. He took us on a koala searching walk (we found several in the trees!) and also saw many wild kangaroos. A wonderful excursion that we highly recommend! James made our day!

Rebecca_V

Beautiful views, our tour guide was very informative. We did see Koalas and Kangaroos but none of the other animals mentioned.

Christina_B

This was an amazing day trip. James was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable with a great sense of humour. He was a master at spotting wildlife and we got to see kangaroos, dolphins, turtles, koalas etc. I enjoyed every minute of this tour.

What a great day we had!! We booked this trip on our last day before returning to the UK and we are so glad we did. We were met by James who was brilliant and made the day so enjoyable for us. He was very knowledgeable, informative and friendly. We saw koalas, kangaroos, dolphins surfing through the waves, eagle rays, turtles and ospreys, all in their natural environment. Would thoroughly recommend this trip.

Wonderful day exploring the island Our guide went out of his way to find koalas and wildlife for us to see

Miek M

2 hours to get there on bus and ferry. A few koalas and grey kangaroos. Two or three nice views but nothing particularly special. 2 hours to get back on bus and ferry.

JohnJames_H

The tour was very good. Learning about the history of the island then finishing off the day with a refreshing swim.

Marg_E

Such a disappointment. Driving around and around wasting time on a sweltering hot day looking for a koala in a tree. Beach time was cut in half because of this. Driver was awful and cranky, repeating himself in commentary, changing his mind about meeting times which is so confusing. No time to look in local Aborigine art shops
