Happy Customers
The guide was fantastic, very enthusiastic and took all the time for you. She took us to the most beautiful beaches and the lunch spot was one from a book, so beautiful. She liked to take pictures which was very nice as a single traveller.
What an excellent tour! I did the Airlie Beach Explorer Tour and was blown away with how many great, land-based spots there are around Airlie! Cherene was a passionate and knowledgeable tour guide – she really knows her stuff! This is a great tour to do on your first day as it shows you all the local spots. The bus is super comfortable with great aircon. A fantastic way to do something different around the Whitsundays! 10/10.
