    Amazing the guides are exceptional and add a real personal touch. Their knowledge is excellent and write astonishing really. My family and I found the trip engaging, thought provoking, exciting and educational from start to finish. I cannot recommend this enough a diggings must for any traveller to these parts. Made better by the people who run it. The 4WD bus is great and comfy, lunch was awesome. Wildlife on display breathtaking.

    We absolutely loved this tour, tour guide Neville was great. It was about the only one would take our two kids under 5 and went the furthest onto Bloomfield track for freshwater creek swim,l. They provided a car seat for our 2 year old which was perfect. The tour was fun and beautiful, kept moving at a good pace to entertain the kids and was structured really well. Lunch was included and we loved the swim in Emmagen Ck and river cruise.

    I had the opportunity to experience Billy Tea Safaris part of another tour package. The driver was punctual, warm and friendly, was a great guide sharing lot of insights beyond what was part of the tour as well. Nev, the driver did play the role of guide, friend and a mom ensuring everyone are fed on time and satisfactorily. 5 star for Neville (Nev).

    Wow what a day! From the convenient pick up and drop off service, the spectacular wildlife and our informative and fun guide Gavin, the day was perfect in every way. The day was so well structured that we seemed to fit a lot in without seeming rushed. Some highlights for me being the refreshing swim in Emmagen Creek, my delicious vegan lunch ( yes they cater for us herbivores!), seeing a crocodile and cassowary bird, the scenery all the way and the yummy ice-cream stop on the journey back. Best ice-cream I've ever had! And yes they had vegan ice-cream too! Thanks Gaven for a wonderful day......your passion for the environment and love of what you do made our day even more wonderful! Oh and thanks for the music playlist on the journey home....it suited the theme of the tour! Kellie & Janice

    Had an amazing trip, our tour guide Gavin was very passionate about nature and loved explaining and educating everyone on everything. Was a very enjoyable trip and it made the 12 hours feel too short.
