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.

“5 outta 5”
We had a wonderful time exploring the region between Cairns and Brisbane over 14 days. Whitsundays was total magic and we loved especially fraser island and tubing down a tranquil river. Great value for money, and we made some awesome new friends. Well done to all involved. 5/5
“a great trip”
Thoroughly enjoyed my trip along the east coast from Cairns to Brisbane over the course of 14 days. My guides were fantastic and very knowledgeable and helpful. I also had some wonderful groups and made some great friends to share the adventure with. Recommend 10/10
“dream adventure”
Each location offered something completely different and equally amazing. Sailing through the Whitsundays was a dream, with crystal-clear water and picture-perfect beaches. Fraser Island was like stepping into another world, and the freshwater lakes and rainforests were beyond beautiful. And of course, snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef was a once-in-a-lifetime moment I’ll never forget. We were so lucky with the weather too — blue skies and sunshine nearly every day.
“worth the price 100%”
loved every minute of it! Got to see and do so much, and the people I met made it even better. Thanks!
“Excellent”
Eine großartige Reise!
“Beautiful adventure”
Diese Reise war ohne Zweifel eines der schönsten Abenteuer meines Lebens. Von Anfang bis Ende war alles hervorragend organisiert – man hat sofort gemerkt, dass viel Erfahrung und Sorgfalt in der Planung stecken. Der Reiseverlauf war gut durchdacht und bot die perfekte Balance zwischen Abenteuer, Entspannung und unvergesslichen Naturerlebnissen.
Die Stationen, die wir besucht haben, waren alle einzigartig. Die Whitsunday Islands waren wie aus dem Bilderbuch – türkisblaues Wasser, strahlender Sonnenschein und weiße Sandstrände, wie ich sie mir immer erträumt hatte. Fraser Island mit seinen Süßwasserseen, Regenwäldern und Dünen war eine komplett andere, aber genauso beeindruckende Welt. Und das Schnorcheln am Great Barrier Reef war einfach atemberaubend – ein absolutes Highlight der Reise, das ich nie vergessen werde.
“No worries!”
Can’t wait to do it again.
“Wonderful!”
