AI summary of 39 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the guides for their extensive knowledge of the Blue Mountains, Aboriginal history, native plants and animals, and for creating a relaxed, unhurried pace despite covering substantial ground. What stands out most often is that guides skilfully navigate travellers away from crowds to lesser-visited lookouts and spots, whilst providing engaging commentary and stories throughout the day, and that the tour successfully combines wildlife park experiences, scenic bushwalks, waterfalls and iconic viewpoints like the Three Sisters into a well-paced itinerary. The most common caveat is concern about the wildlife park's size and animal welfare, with one traveller noting discomfort with the crowding of animals in that facility.
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.
“Brilliant day out!”
Our friendly guide Chris was incredibly knowledgeable and made the day of bushwalks, waterfalls and the wildlife park really enjoyable.
“Overall nice and pleasant experience Recommend thus tour”
A nice day of nature and short trails. Ben never rushed us at the lookouts, walked with us sharing information on the plants and the area's First Nations people, and at the wildlife park we saw wallabies, emus, a cassowary, koalas and dingoes. They even got the sunglasses I left in the van back to me in Port Douglas at their own expense.
“Great!”
There were just three of us plus our guide Ben, who was excellent, fun and full of knowledge about Australia after 33 years living here. We were very satisfied.
“Great way to discover the rea!”
Everything was perfect with Tom, who knows a lot about Aboriginal culture and local medicinal plants and shared plenty of stories about the area and its history.
“Review”
An amazing guide, great views and chilled vibes. Our guide was really nice and told great stories.
“Great escape for the day”
Ben knew so much about the rainforest, plants and animals. The tour was well paced for all abilities, the wildlife park was great, the hike was a beautiful challenge, lunch in Leura was busy but nice, and we stopped at the lookouts on the way out.
