AI summary of 23 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the variety of wildlife encountered on the tour, including dolphins, kangaroos, wallabies, sea eagles and other animals, as well as the guides' extensive knowledge of the island's history, geology and natural features, which enhanced the overall experience. The combination of activities stands out most prominently, with the 4WD beach drive, exploration of WWII bunkers and lagoon kayaking forming a particularly appealing mix that appeals to both adults and children. The guides' relaxed, professional and attentive approach receives widespread commendation, though the only notable caveat is that a small number of travellers mention delayed starts or concern about holding up the tour, though this did not diminish their overall satisfaction with the experience.
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.
Jason was professional, knowledgeable and attentive, and kept things relaxed. The adults and kids had fun for the full five hours, including the kayaking, and the 4WD van was comfortable and safe.
A fun day with Jason, who knew a lot about the island and its war relics. We finished with a beautiful kayak on one of the lagoons.
A great trip with lots of wildlife and a lovely kayak on the lake. Jason knew every part of the trip well, and we even spotted a goanna in a tree stump.
A drive along the beach where we spotted dolphins, kangaroos, curlews and even a fox, with Jason sharing plenty about the island's history and nature. The kayak on Norfolk Lagoon was a treat, and this was our second time.
A great afternoon on Bribie's beach and lagoons, learning about its war years at the old defence posts. We saw dolphins, kangaroos, wallabies and birds, then finished with a gentle kayak on Norfolk Lagoon.
A great half-day 4WD tour with Jason, who told us about Bribie's history and geology. We saw sea hawks, wallabies, kangaroos, a lace monitor and a fox, and the kayak along Norfolk Lagoon was beautiful.
