AI summary of 22 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the guides for their extensive local knowledge, passion for the region and exceptional driving skills navigating the sand dunes and beaches. The most frequently highlighted aspects of the tour are the stunning natural scenery of Coffin Bay National Park, the wildlife viewing including kangaroos and emus, the off-road 4WD adventure through the dunes, sandboarding activities, and the high-quality photographs provided after the tour. A minor consideration is that some travellers note the experience is specifically designed for and dependent on favourable weather conditions, such as managing wind exposure during beach sections, though this does not detract from overall satisfaction.
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.
“Amazing experience!”
Ben is an impressive host, with amazing driving skills and outstanding knowledge of the area. Not to be missed.
“Best tour guide and tour”
A wonderful tour to Coffin Bay with Ben, who was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. He took us to beautiful spots we'd never have found ourselves, and his passion for the region shines through.
“4WD tour”
We loved the tour with Ben, who knew the environment and wildlife and picked up any rubbish he saw on the beaches. The 4WD run to the beach and the sandboarding were highlights.
“Stunning”
Our trip to Coffin Bay was amazing. A small group, and Ben was knowledgeable, considerate and flexible. We couldn't have asked for more.
“Perfect”
Ben was superb and knew his stuff on every part of the trip. Highly recommended for anyone exploring the area.
“Driving the sand dunes!”
We saw parts of Coffin Bay National Park only reachable by 4WD and drove the sand dunes, some very steep, with Ben as a very capable driver. He kept us comfortable with a running commentary. Morning tea, lots of kangaroos, emus and wallabies, and a wind that nearly blew us away.
