"I’ve been to Australia four times and this was the first time I had the opportunity to have an Aboriginal culture tour. It was wonderful and I highly recommend it. It really was worthwhile to get a deeper connection to this vast and ancient land."

★★★★★ via Tripadvisor
"It was a lovely day to be on the 'brown snake'—the Brisbane River. The guide was very nice and gave a clear briefing. For me, as a complete beginner at kayaking, it was very easy to do. The ride was the perfect length, not too long, not too short."
