The tour of Kata Tjuta was the most memorable part - Ben the guide's knowledge and experience was simply wonderful.
(more)So many highlights it is difficult to seperate out just one.... it was a great trip all around ! 10 out of 10 (more)
This is a fabulous place with great food and service. Lizzie and Shayne are so knowledgeable and passionate, it is really inspiring. We were surrounded by wildlife. We had breakfast with kangaroos grazing right in front of the window...It was brilliant, I wish I could do it all again. (more)
My husband and I did a 2 day horse trek and we had a ball. Then landing on a glacier in a ski plane was awesome. Can't overlook the wonderful people we met everywhere, they made the trip! My personal favorite place was Arthur's Pass. (more)The most memorable part of the track was coming down from the tussock highlands along the Heaphy River, emerging out of the forest and seeing the beaches of The Tasman Sea. (more)
The bedroom we chose was magic and I'll never forget going down the escarpment garden to the cliff walk at the bottom - that was brilliant. This accommodation completely excelled itself with the hamper and goodies that were provided. (more)We had a superb experience with our tour around Uluru and the region. The staff ensured our wellbeing, comfort and safety throughout the trip. Food was excellent, very tasty and plentiful. Very informative about aboriginal culture. (more)
This is one of the best travel experiences I have ever had... This is one of the most special places I have ever visited. It's Aboriginal Land, and only about 6 small tour operators are licensed to take visitors in. (more)
The rooms are very private, and look our directly onto the Ocean - we watched a big lightning storm come in as if we were all alone in the world. (more)
Our guide, Dave, was extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the the countrside - birds, plants, weather, history - he helped us enjoy the spectacular lanscape.
(more)
Fiji is an amazing destination, charming and beautiful. We enjoyed our Bure in Fiji, the snorkelling, scuba diving well everything... Excellent - couldn't have been better. (more)
Meeting the traveling group and getting to know their travel history and sharing ours was most memorable. Also, sunset at Uluru was fantastic...Great - first trip with this operator and set a great tone with us for consideration for future trips. Our guide George was exceptional. (more)It was great. I have never felt healthier and more relaxed. In fact, not washing for several days was rather liberating! Walking through beautiful rainforests and seeing wildlife without cages was the most memorable part.
(more)
Most memorable? The wonderful walks - canyons, gorges, other natural features - that revealed to us the natural riches of the Outback, from birds and other creatures to the land itself. (more)Camping under the stars in Purnalulu National Park under the most amazing sky I have ever seen and being woken by dingoes howling and calling to each other in early morning. The wildflowers were everywhere. It was an amazing time to travel. (more)
Most memorable would definitely be the first time that you slip in the water and your eyes take in the huge picture in front of you that is the humpback whales. Phenomenal, breathtaking, hard to describe to anyone who has not seen it. (more)
Most memorable was just sitting on the balcony in the sunshine with a coffee and a book and looking across the Coral Sea...and waking up to the sounds of the forest...and seeing several cassowary... and eating in the beautiful restaurant. (more)
It was wonderful! My favourite part was the verandah at night with the pond providing a lovely noisy backdrop (lots of frogs and nocturnal noises!). (more)
fantastic...finding little deserted spots - less-visited beaches; an out-of-the-way river. And all the outdoors activities New Zealand offers (more)
Kangaroo Island was a very pleasant surprise. We enjoyed getting down close to a very windy and wild Southern Ocean, and walking on the beach at Sea Bay up close with the sea lions was a real highlight. (more)We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
