Review for: Join-in Tour

Everything was very well organized and absolutely worth the price. During the trip we saw so much - huntsman spider, platypuses, old fig trees, and several other native mammals and birds Our guide was fantastic: very knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the wildlife and the area. The group was small and intimate, which made the experience much more relaxed and enjoyable. Lunch was also really good and a nice break during the tour. Overall it was a wonderful experience and a great way to see Australian nature up close.

It was a very fulfilling tour, thank you very much. My college and high school daughters also raved about it, saying it might have been the most enjoyable day of any trip they've taken. The meal was also delicious.

The road was extremely rough, so if you get motion sickness easily, it would be best to take medication beforehand or perhaps not participate at all. The tour content itself was very substantial and excellent.

Excellent tour! Paul, the guide, is very knowledgeable. Follow his instructions and you will see heaps of wildlife 🤍 Having dinner all together is also a nice, enjoyable break.

The very experienced and knowledgeable leader led us to find different animals in the forest, taught us a lot of forest knowledge, and if we were lucky, we could see the stars all over the sky

It is not recommended to participate if your English is not as fluent as native speakers or your small talk skills are not good enough, because you will feel disrespected by the tour guide during the entire trip. The tour guide will make some jokes or be deliberately ignored when explaining. Before dinner, I asked if we could eat separately, because there are many seats in the restaurant, instead of everyone (10 people) sitting at the reunion table to eat together, but we were not agreed, making the meal awkward and uncomfortable. The professional skills of the tour guide should be sufficient. During the whole trip, we saw a lot of animals and plants, including tree kangaroo & wallabies. The platypus is rare to find, and only one person in the group saw it. If you want to see these creatures, it would be better to choose a safari park or other day trip. What I regret most about this trip is the tip I gave at the end. The more I thought about it after giving it, the more wrong I felt... You can't be so polite.
