Reviews
Excellent day out with Southern Cross Tours! Our knowledgeable and friendly tour guide, Amber, made our experience 5star! Comfy van, safe driving, snacks and drinks included, plus an easy way to learn about and visit some amazing sights in the Hinterland. Kamarun lookout, Lamington National Forest, OReillys, and Canungra Vineyard for lunch. We saw wallabys, many birds, brush turkeys, interesting plant species. Our tour was supposed to end here…but we were only two on our tour, since the others didn’t show up. We then had extra time and Amber kindly stopped at another national park, Tamborine, plus their quaint town center full of shops. Lucky us we also stopped at a conservation park on our way home and we saw a mob of kangaroos and a koala high up in a eucalyptus tree! Even if we only did the regular itinerary I would highly recommend this tour! Our bonus stops just goes to show this tour company knows how to give their guests an unforgettable experience!
Booked less than 24 hrs before the trip via Klook and it was easy and convenient to confirm the booking. The staff was really helpful as we got a bit lost trying to find the meet up point, can easily call for assistance as their numbers are provided. The tour itself was great, Daniel our guide was full of information keeping the group entertained. Ride was smooth in a cozy group of 12 pax bus. Everything was nice and on schedule back at 4pm. Rainforest walk, bird feedings and alpaca feedings were so fun, the animals are really enthusiastic. The food (not inclusive in package) particularly the Fisherman’s Basket For Two was amazing, really fresh! Scenic views on the way to the park as well
Highly recommended! We walked the alpaca Bambi and climbed up to the very top of the tall fig tree.The view was tremendous.
Today’s weather was not so well, very windy with patches of rain when arriving at Kamarun Lookout. The good thing is we have a very friendly guide, David with local intelligence, guided us to Booyong Walk and Tree Top Walk. David not only shared his knowledge about trees, birds and rainforest but also willingly to answer any questions, rendered assistances upon request.
Tour guide was awesome and knowledgeable. It was really a fuss free and comfortable jourmey up to Lamingon National Park tour aa we do not drive. Good experience! Hope to come back soon!
If only there is a six stars button, I hope I can give them that. I thought I was about to let go of this tour due insufficient numbers and I was not expecting them to take us even with such small number. With that I have to compliment Southern Cross Tour for their commitment and professionalism. We had a knowledgeable, cheerful lady, Amber be our tour guide. She is a really experience careful driver. She showed us the local Queensland Stingers. The Strangler fig how it take over its host tree through hundreds of years. We had a wonderful refreshing time with the nature and her interesting info. Amber is really passionate about nature and a bird lovers so she introduce us some beautiful birds and trees as well. We experienced the exciting tree top walk and climb. Photos taking with the colourful Australia King Parrots and Crimson Rosella. When u join a tour, you actually experience the place that u visit. I think this is what a HOLIDAY is all about.
The tour guide was knowledgable in the field of the tour, explaining to us with the amazing views in sight, and the great wines for enjoyment. There are also cute alpacas for feeding, but be careful, they can get rough and excited. My girlfriend got bitten while feeding them.
my Guide Bill was an extraordinary person, His knowledge not just about Lamington but about a lot of subjects is amazing, Really had a nice time with him and the tour was great too, Miss you Bill, Until next time.
The drive up had a lot of long and winding roads across cliffsides, so I'm glad we decided to go with a tour than trying to brave the roads ourselves. Our guide Mark was friendly and told us a lot of interesting stories about Australia. The snacks and drinks at the top of the lookout was a nice way to start the trip, and the bird feeding was really fun with the bird occassionally perching on our heads. The lunch spot had really tasty food as well! I did wish we could have spent a bit more time with the Alpacas though, but that's just a minor gripe.
Enjoyed the tour with our friendly guide Bill. was glad that I joined the tour as the roads up was very windy and I get to go up comfortably in the van with wonderful commentary by Bill.
