Reviews from real travellers
Public reviews of the operators who run these tours, shown as excerpts with the source on each.
"Best experience I’ve had. … The girls were excellent they walked me through ever step of the process and were very patient given I went through three times and felt a lot more confident at the end."
"Breakfast with the Koalas was an enjoyable and interesting morning. We loved the experience! The small group was excellent giving my family time to interact with animals and keepers. Keepers knowledge and presentation of animals made the morning."
"Very entertaining and fun. We had breakfast with a koala. We learned about local snakes, birds, kangaroos and of course crocodiles. Nice grounds. We found it well worth a day of our week in Palm Cove."
"Getting to go through the mangroves and seeing the shipwrecks and the dolphins was an amazing way to spend a day."
"What a great way to start ya day. We went out and before long we were on the whales. It was amazing and on the way back we also came across dolphins. Great guide and great experience."
"We had a leisurely paddle, saw dolphins playing and even a turtle. In the process we had dolphins surfing the wave mere metres from us. A truly incredible experience."
