Review of Moreton Island’s kayak, snorkel and sandboard day trip from Brisbane or Gold Coast, with costs, timing, tips and honest advice.
“A full on day to Moreton Island where we got to enjoy a lovely ferry journey over and then 3 different activities. We were very apprehensive about the sand boarding (as we were 2 of the older members of the group) but it was great fun. The bus journey up was a little hairy in places , but the driver/guide was so skilled and know every inch of that bus! The boarding was exhilarating and an experience to remember !! We then had a perfect picnic lunch before going on to do snorkelling. Ryan was an excellent guide, full of facts and really looked after his groups. He soon gave…”
Review the 1770 LARC tour from Agnes Water, with lighthouse history, wildlife, lunch, sandboarding, and practical booking tips.
“Kev, our tour guide and Dylan our skipper were extremely knowledgeable and were great entertainers which kept everyone on tour laughing. The museum at the lighthouse as well as the view from the lighthouse were fantastic. Lunch and morning tea were both good and very fresh. On a very hot day, a beer would have been ideal.”

Review of Perth’s Pinnacles, koalas, 4WD and sandboarding tour, with wildlife, fish and chips, practical tips, value, and honest drawbacks.
“All in all, this is a very nice tour if you do not have your own car and still want to be able to see the pinnacles desert. The stop at Caversham was a bit short, but one could also go back by train, so it was a good first glance. The 4WD and sandboarding was loads of fun and the pinnacles desert was stunningly beautiful! Our driver/guide Pete was amazing! He told us about local customs, explained flora and fauna and was overall one of the nicest guides I have ever had! Thank you Pete, I learned a lot!”
Review the Port Stephens day trip from Sydney, with dolphin cruising, koalas, lunch, sandboarding, transport, costs, and practical tips.
“We had a great day, each part of the experience was good fun. Unfortunately the dolphins were a bit shy so we only saw their fins but nevertheless, the views were lovely! The Koala Sanctuary was special, it’s nice to see them being looked after so well and in a safe space. The sand-boarding was really fun too, but expect some energy to be drained walking up the sandy hill each time you want to go down it! I went down it 3 or 4 times but that was more than enough. I’d suggest not wearing trainers for this part as they will get ruined with the sand; I wore…”
