    I had an amazing time on the Chillagoe Caves and Outback Day Trip tour!! This was my favorite tour of my trip! Gavin was an amazing tour guide and offered so much information on the local environment, animals and aboriginal people! His passion for the area was very obvious!! The coffee stop was amazing, the caves were so cool and my absolute favorite part was getting to feed the wild wallabies! We also got super lucky and saw a dingo. Definitely worth the trip(:

    I did the Chillagoe Caves and Outback tour and I literally had the best day of my life! The tour was well organized with delicious brekkie and lunch. The tour guide explained everything and could answer every question. I personally loved seeing the outback and desert as well as the caves, feeding and petting wallabies, and seeing real kangaroos! It was definitely worth every dollar. I can highly recommend this tour!

    Today is a learning day for me. I have never been to the rainforest before. It looks so mysterious and natural. All the plants and wild animals are not easy to touch and see. It's so amazing! Our tour guide is so funny and responsible, he explains very well.

    We had an amazing trip! We did the two day Daintree Rainforest and Great Barrier Reef tour. Our guide for the Rainforest tour was Andy. He was awesome! You could tell that he is very passionate about the history of the region and how fragile the ecosystem is. We enjoyed learning about how unique this area is. We also saw 4 cassowaries in the wild and 1 crocodile! We also enjoyed the small group size.
