Incredibly great tour with Cherene and the Kangaroos - Cherene is an enchanting woman who led the tour full of enthusiasm, knowledge and dedication. It was the best tour ever. From picking up and driving with a neck squirrel and blanket, photo shoot with the kangaroos and walllabies, loving breakfast and lots of knowledge about nature, fauna, flora and wildlife on the bushwalk and the return trip and not to forget their incredibly cool humor. Perfect! An absolute must do! Thank you!

Amazing trip 100% recommend! - I went on the sunrise trip with Cherene and it was wonderful. We spent time with the wallabies on the beach and did a nice bushwalk to a viewpoint. Cherene js a great guide; upbeat, passionate about nature and super friendly. 100% recommend to take a tour with her. The tours are all done by herself and are small group tours which really makes for e nice personal experience.

Stunning!! - Early 3.30am pick up and wow was it worth the early rise!!
Sunrise on the beach with Kangaroos at Cape Hillsborough was just stunning!
Cherene was super friendly and knowledgeable about the wild life & nature around the area, full of fun facts and happy to help with pictures and showing us around with our guided bush walk.
We saw kangaroos, Wallabies, Sea Eagle, Python, Skinks, Bats and Butterflies.
The bus ride there was comfy, supplied with blankets & pillows for napping if needed, breakfast at the beach was yummy, and she even specially catered for me as gluten free.
Every little detail has been carefully thought of and taken care of with this trip.
All you need to do is turn up with a smile, your camera and a sense of adventure!
Enjoy, you won’t regret it!

Amazing tour - Amazing tour with excellent guide also on phototaking skills 😊
Pick up early at Airlie beach, nice small group. You will get a travel pillow and blanket so you could sleep on the way to Cape Hillsborough! Stunning sunrise, a lot of informations and an easy walk to a lookout (with spectacular view over the area). After that you can enjoy the included breakfast.
Awesome tour, thanks Corina

Amazing tour with wonderful guide! - This trip was amazing! Sherene was incredible , she picked is up right on time , It was early and cold and she had blankets and neck pillows ready for us in the car , so sweet! So I was able to sleep wonderfully for another hour , once we arrived it was raining a little bit and she even had umbrellas for all of us. We were perfectly in time for the sunrise and there were kangaroos and walibis , after this we did a beautiful hike and she told us all about nature and animals , she knew a lot about it! After the hike she even had breakfast for us with coffee , tea , chai , milo , cookies , fruit , yogurt. In short ; this was a great tour and I would definitely book it

Sunrise with Kangaroos - an unforgettable experience - Such a blast!! One of the best experiences I had in my life - a sunrise with the kangaroos in one of most beautiful beaches in Australia. It’s a unique experience and Cherene makes it even more unforgettable. She is really caring and knowledgeable. Her passion about the nature and animals is very impressive, and brings you totally to another worlds. She is very thoughtful and makes sure you will have the best time since she picks you up! It’s so amazing how enthusiastic she can be at 3am! She did everything she could to make sure we could have the best experience. Looking forward to repeating another experience with Driftwood Tours.
