Great Day Out from Airlie! - 1st visit to Bowen & surrounding areas. Beaches were totally stunning & unspoiled. Different walks to look out points. Cherene was great & very knowledgeable. Lunch included was lovely we had fresh seafood next to Marina. Would definitely recommend going on this land day trip for people who want to learn about area & past history.

A fun loving day trip to Bowen - My husband and I highly recommend tours with Driftwood. Cherene is amazing, skilled, and passionate about the Whitsundays. Cherene new all the dates of significant findings of discovering Australia, aboriginal history and taking us to the best spots. Cherene is one of the best guides we had so far. When we stopped at the Big Mango, Cherene collected pamphlets for our caravan travels 2024 and informed us on great places to visit as she has been there. Thank you for being able to take us on our tour at short notice due to the weather (cyclone in Cairns) and we will definitely see you when we come up on our caravan trip in August next year.

Bowen Day tour - Cherene was just amazing as a tour guide. Fantastic communication and knowledge. Lovely morning tea and the fish and chips lunch was yummy. It was the little personal touches that made this tour great. Highly recommend.

A Day to Remember - We enjoyed a fantastic day today in a comfortable air conditioned mini bus. Driving out of Airlie Beach through cane fields we learnt about sugar production. Continuing on, we passed beautiful bushland plus fruit and vegetable farms on our way to several turquoise swimming beaches at Bowen. We climbed over incredible rock formations surrounding the beaches to find special views for photos. We also enjoyed amazing views of the Whitsundays from lookouts along the way. Thanks to our fantastic tour guide Sherene, we highly recommend this tour.

Awesome experience to Cape Gloucester with Driftwood Tours - We did the Cape Gloucester full day tour with one other couple. Driftwood was recommended to us by Geoff at Shipley Beach Resort and totally lived up to the high praise. Cherene is so knowledgeable about the area and is passionate about what she does - great commentary throughout the tour. She is very engaging, established a great rapport with us very quickly (we were celebrating our 30th anniversary and the other couple, their 40th). Cherene is an amazing guide and took us to some places many visitors never see or know about. Highly recommend this lively and lovely lady and her small business.
