Perfect way to get around the island and experience all that Maggie has to offer - This was not our first trip to Maggie but it was certainly The Best Experience! Our family came to visit from interstate so we decided to book a tour. It was great as it took the pressure off us and we could sit back and enjoy the experience with them. Not only was it a great way to get around the island and experience all the breathtaking views, the tour was very informative and entertaining. Neil is well travelled and educated, and radiates plenty of personality.

Great day out! - What a great day out! We were lucky enough to be the only ones on the tour (most companies would have cancelled) Tim gave us a tour based on what the kids wanted to see/do and it was amazing. Highlight was my daughter meeting Tim’s daughter Izzy from Izzy’s Koala World. Thanks so much for making this possible, I have one very very happy little girl.

The best decision - We had a ball. Our guide was Tim and he was informative, easy going, funny, and made the tour a great experience. We only booked late as we were going to use the bus to get around and it turned out to be the best decision. We saw the whole island and still had enough time for a nice lunch and a swim. Tim gave us information on the island and took us to places we wouldn't have been able to see by ourselves. We really can't recommend the tour highly enough. Neil & Margie

Must do day tour - Had a lovely day out with Izzy's Dad (Tim) showing us his island home (he's lived there for 50 years). It was very relaxed, all the highlights were shown and a meeting with Izzy & her Mum too at there Koala Hospital. We saw several types of animals and birds, Tim was good at spotting them. He also shared lots of local knowledge with us.
