- MBMaryAnn· April 23rd, 2023This was my 1st Intrepid trip and will not be my last. Eowin was an amazing "camp counselor". He was funny, knowledgeable, kept us safe and happy, and made sure we had sufficient potty breaks and snacks. Loved the Intrepid itinerary, and Eowin added some hidden gems for group meals. There is no possible way we would have been able to see everything we saw, so efficiently, without doing it with an organized tour. The Intrepid staff take care of their locals and vice versa, and we were put at the "front of the line" for many tours and restaurants. This tour was clearly carefully curated, vetted, and adjusted based on traveler feedback. (Even the bathroom breaks were thoughtfully chosen to occur at tourist/picturesque stops). Thank you Intrepid and Eowin for the trip of a lifetime.Show moreTrip date: April 2023
- DBDavid· January 23rd, 2023Despite challenges from heavy rains and flooding in Queensland, the tour leader was able to modify and update plans to maximize activities and locations based on conditions on the fly.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi David - welcome home!

- Yatin· November 20th, 2019A total RIP OFF on this trip. The bus came at Brisbane to pick up us for a long 2/3 days tour was a terrible rundown 300K driven smally bus. The Intrepid did not provide any Hotels name & the itinerary didn't show any info at all. The accommodation was below average for a student backpack trip. Intrepid should know that when they are charging a big amount $500 per person daily & the travellers are from Canada, UK, Ireland, Italy etc, there should be some decency. Please DO NOT waste your time and money any time in future by booking with Intrepid.Show moreTrip date: November 2019
