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.
A beautiful morning exploring Piccabeen park in Bangalow with Delta. I learnt so much about the area and loved hearing about the native plants, medicines and foods.
The Bangalow Bush Tour was outstanding, peaceful and beautiful. Our group of three learnt a great deal about the landscape and its cultural meaning, the stories and language shared were a privilege to hear, and we enjoyed a stunning spread of native foods and teas. We were grateful it went ahead with just three of us.
The Aboriginal bush tucker tour with Delta suited everyone from my two-year-old to my cynical Aussie partner and my dad visiting from Europe. An easy way to get to know native edibles, hear stories from a lovely, knowledgeable Aboriginal woman and taste them all, with only a ten minute walk through cool, beautiful parkland. Very family friendly.
We did the Bangalow bush tour and enjoyed every minute. Delta is an incredible storyteller who showed us the plants the Bundjalung people use for food and medicine, we tried finger limes, berries and leaves, and finished with tea made from local leaves found along the creek.
We loved Delta's tour and bush tucker at Bangalow Parklands, every bit as brilliant as her Broken Head one. She has a beautiful manner and deep knowledge of native plants for medicine, food, teas and even insect repellent.
