Fun-filled Straddie - Absolutely loved this small group tour. Our guide James, was friendly and personable. The time really flew by with his interesting insights, joking, and animal sightings. We saw koalas, kangaroos, a swamp wallaby, sea turtles, breaching whales, dolphin, spotted eagle ray, rainbow lorikeets, pelicans, magpies, flying foxes and a variety of birds. Had a delicious prawn wrap and tasty ginger beer on tap. The ferry ride is relaxing and has nice views. So worth having someone else handle all the arrangements (and driving!)

Great day trip out from Brisbane - The guide was super helpful in spotting so much wildlife from koalas to whales. We wouldnt have seen half of what we did, had we gone alone. Definitely recommend

We liked it - This was our 2nd tour with James. He was great! One kid loved it, and one was bored. We loved the walk and saw lots of wildlife. There was a nice beach oft the park/walk and we assumed that was where the kids would be able to swim. It wasn't. The beach they were allowed to swim in the tour was far from drop off and, with changing 2x, they only had about 25 min. Total was 45. Not enough for kids, but I guess you have to cater to all ages. It was hot and we really wish we had more time to enjoy Straddie. Everything was kind of rushed...lunch, beach, walk. Overall, good, and we did enjoy.
