    The tour was a great experience. Our gate guide Lins always managed everything perfectly. I always felt safe and well looked after. I would do the trip again at any time.

    The itinerary was great! We visited some of the most popular places on the east coast of Australia. Our tour guide, Johanna, was awesome. We had a great time.

    During this tour you get to see (what I think) anything you could expect seeing throughout the East Coast of AUS. When it comes to wildlife we just saw it all if you ask me! Except the whale and Cassowary, but ofcourse you always have to have a bit of luck for wild life spotting. What we did see for example: many wallabies, kangaroos, koalas, dolphins, crocodiles, sharks, pythons, many cockatoos, spiders, dingos, turtles, many different fish and way too many Kookaburras :P Besides wildlife (my personal favorite reason to visit the eastern Australian coastline) we also saw beautiful nature. The more you come northwards, the more varied nature becomes. In the southern part of our trip we saw lots of (pine) trees, but further north it became more varied with deciduous trees, rolling landscapes and nice mountain and agricultural landscapes. To experience the complete Aussie way of living, we stayed in different hostels varying in luxury from basic to a nice private swimming pool included. And the best experience I got on K'gari Island where we stayed in beach cabins at the Eco Retreat Resort and drove with 4WD's al along the isle to explore the most beautiful lakes as wondering around in paradise! The stay in the Surfside Hostel in Port Stephens felt like being one with nature! Not to forget our 2 nights stay on a sailing yacht at open sea around the beautiful Whitsunday Islands! What a magical experience was that! During the complete trip we were served with breakfast almost every day and even dinner was included for some like 14 days! Sometimes even prepared by our own tourguides themselves, wonderful experience, the real Aussie way! During the driving from one to another place we got all the info needed about our next destination combined with the possible optional activities to book. Wonderful and spontaneous brought by our tour guide/driver. Altogether I can only say one thing about this tour: this was one of the most exciting and wonderful trips I ever made! Ofcourse it's a bit dependent on the travel group you will walk in, but I really had the best travel partners I could ever have wished accompanying me during this trip ;)
