Review of Darwin’s Litchfield and jumping crocodile tour, with waterfalls, wildlife, lunch, practical tips, price advice, and honest drawbacks.
“What an amazing day. Didn’t think we could top the croc cruise and then we had a magical day at Litchfield. A beautiful part of Australia. Dylan was a brilliant guide, lots of laughs and stories. Would recommend 100%.”
Review of the Grampians National Park eco tour from Melbourne, with hikes, waterfalls, kangaroos, lookouts, transport tips, and honest value advice.
“The Grampiens is one of the best places to see in Victoria. But I didn't know that until having done this tour. Bree and Johnno, our tour guides, provided entertaining and interesting commentary. Plus a great morning tea was also included, and you get to see the Eureka stockade as well. The sites were beautiful, so I thoroughly recommend this great one-day tour from Melbourne.”
Review the 3-hour Tasman Island Wilderness Cruise from Port Arthur, with towering cliffs, sea caves, seals, dolphins, birds, and practical tips.
“We just loved the trip. It was fantastic. Hamish was so friendly and informative. Couldn’t have asked for more.”
Review of Sydney’s Blue Mountains day tour with waterfalls, Sydney Zoo, Scenic World, local guides, and a Parramatta River cruise.
“Les was my guide, he was amazing the whole trip. First you stop in the zoo, we were the first ones so the zoo was empty (around 9am) and it was great because we could enjoy the whole area without waiting long queues. The trip is worth it, stopping in some points where you can enjoy the Blue mountains with “three sisters”in front of you. Then you stop in other points to see the waterfall and other cool places. I highly recommend.”
Review of Bruny Island Wilderness Cruise from Hobart, with sea cliffs, caves, seals, whales, practical tips, pricing, and itinerary advice.

Explore Port Arthur, Richmond, Tasman National Park and a harbour cruise on a guided Hobart day tour with hotel pickup.
“It was a wonderful day and I really appreciated the driver’s kindness. He did a great commentary and was very clear with instructions. I was only on the tour to see Port Arthur so I really enjoyed the drive along the coast, the oyster beds, the Tasman arch, the chocolate factory and Richmond. I still had plenty of time at Port Arthur.”
Review of the Grampians small-group day tour from Melbourne, with waterfalls, kangaroos, lookouts, walking tips, price advice, and practical details.
