알찬 여행!!!

기대 안했는데 너무나 알찼어요. 아침 7시 반부터 저녁 5시까지 쉴틈없이 계속 돌아다님, 중간중간 호수, 폭포에서 수영할 수 있게 시간도 내어주시고 사진도 엄청 많이 찍어주셨어요. 페이스북에 올라올 사진들이 궁금해집니다 진짜 강추예요!!!! 꼭 하세요 꼭!!

An amazing day with Dom (minus the meals provided)

What a blast! From the first good morning to the final goodbye, Dom was full of warmth, enthusiasm and joy. We did 4 waterfalls, 2 lookouts, a crater lake, fantastic views, some challenging hikes and a day of easy fun had by the 14 of us on board the bus. He drove well, fast enough without being reckless at all. Meals are pretty bare essentials namely the DIY sandwich lunch and biscuits/lamingtons morning tea. It made the tour feel lacking in value/care; considering we had hot chicken, 3 full on salads, cheese platter, fruits and wine on a Reef trip the day before (on a boat in open sea!), for less money than this tour! It was an 11 hour trip! Good we came prepared with our own crackers, cheese and olive dips. Atherton tablelands is stunning naturally anyway and this tour gave us an eyeful of some amazing scenes. All kudos to Dom... he was the real value here!

Great day with Patty

Great day with Patty. She was relaxed and chilled and explained lots about the animals and plants. Swimming destinations were great and lunch was brilliant too! The Tim Tam biscuits were the best of all! Thanks for a great day.

Excellent

I've been on ma y tours but this one was special. Our tour guide patty, was so kind even when I got 5 minutes late to arrive at the pickup point, we went to the main places of interest and unlike most tours thus was very relaxing and self paced. We could go out of schedule unlike other tours. We didn't rush, and patty made sure we enjoyed every destination we went. She worked so hard and the lunch, and the tea was so filling. Other tours usually give you something light.
