AI summary of 19 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the guides for their knowledge, humour, friendliness and engaging personalities, which they credit with making the tour memorable and enjoyable. The most frequently mentioned highlights are the guide's detailed explanations of the island's history and sights, along with their efforts to create a fun atmosphere through entertainment, games and campfire activities. Additional praise centres on the camp facilities being cleaner and more comfortable than expected, with good meals and snacks provided throughout the three days, as well as the scenic beauty of the island itself and the experience of driving four-wheel drives across the sand. A minor caveat raised by one traveller concerned portion sizes at dinner, with a note that some people remained hungry after the meal.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
The three-day tour was incredible, and Arty made it so memorable with his energy, humour and knowledge. He made everyone feel welcome and went out of his way to make sure we all had a great time. The activities were unforgettable and the camp was fantastic too.
I did the three-day tour and had the most amazing time. Arty was the best guide and made it even more fun, the camp facilities were much better than expected, and the activities were all special.
A breathtaking three days on K'gari with excellent vibes. Our guide Rhett was knowledgeable, caring and great fun.
An amazing three days with our guide Wade, driving our own four-wheel drives to the island's sights. He gave us facts and history, then we explored and swam in the lakes and pools, and Rhett's evening music sessions finished each day. I was worried about wildlife, but the camp felt safe and the netted tents were comfy.
I did the two-night trip and had a great time. Wade told us the history of the island, the shipwreck, the champagne pools, the lakes and every other stop, and kept it interesting and fun. His easygoing, positive attitude made the trip for us.
We spent three days on the island with Shae, the best guide ever. She went above and beyond, made us all comfortable, and was funny and great to chat with. I went with eleven other girls and every one of us feels the same. The island was amazing but Shae made the trip.
