Excursions in Queensland

“Lolo arranged our amazing family trip to Canadá and I can’t fault her in any way. From the booking stage with advice and suggestions, including reminders before we went, were exactly what we needed. She was always responsive and helpful whenever it was required. Our trip would not have been what it was without her experience and knowledge. She also helped our eldest daughter plan and book her first major OS trip to South and Central America, which was a great relief to us. She coordinated our daughter’s trip to link into ours seamlessly, even though it was not easy whatsoever! I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lolo again for any of our holidays in future and would highly recommend her. Thank you Lolo for the family holiday of a lifetime!”

“This is an amazing team, and I loved working with them. They actually came to our property, and this really made the whole experience absolutely outstanding. The pilots, Jesse and Paul, were terrific people to share this time with, and dropping into the Glamorgan Vale Pub for a complimentary drink, was a fantastic touch. Huge thank you to Captain Mike and his team, for going over and above to make Stephen's 50th Birthday a truly exceptional and memorable experience.”

“Great service, fantastic flight over Brisbane City. Purav is a great pilot, we felt safe and well looked after the whole time”

“Sonia curated the most magnificent trip for myself and three teenagers. We stayed in both Singapore and Krabi, Thailand. I had absolutely no knowledge of the regions and trusted Sonia to organise a trip that met the interests of myself and kids. Relaxed resort, with things accessible for the teenagers. We swam and snorkelled and visited isolated beaches and visited an elephant sanctuary, drank and ate like kings. We have all returned rejuvenated and ready to hit 2023 head on. Sonia's advice, knowledge and outstanding communication made this strip one we will remember forever.”

“I've been on two trips with Adventure Day Trips and I can honestly say that that the trips are so interesting and authentic. I went to the Alpaca Farm and Stradbroke Island and had an amazing time. Gary, the owner is extremely kind and knowledgeable and cares about everyone on his tours. Whether you are an International student or a local, Adventure Day Trips will provide you with a uniquely, Australian experience. I would recommend these trips to anyone wanting to have a great Australian experience and make new friends in the process. Thank you Adventure Day Trips. I can't wait to go on more outings.”

“Maitena and Gizelle are the best people you can meet when you arrive in Australia ! A lots of tips, help and good vibes ! Thanks a lot !”

“Excellent tour. Madonna and Shoshana guided our tour, they are a mother daughter team and their passion for their culture and sharing with others is truly admirable. The experience is genuine, professional and very informative. We also had the opportunity to taste plenty of different local bush tucker and were provided with a wonderful lunch. This is an immersive experience and I would highly recommend as a top rated Aboriginal tour provider.”

“I had a really good experience with our chartered bus. In particular, the driver went above and beyond to run us around on the day and we wanted to reach out and say thanks. Much appreciated and will think of you guys again for our next bus hire!”

“Melanie has helped us plan and book both international and domestic family holidays. She goes above and beyond to ensure you have the best experience ever. Melanie's friendly and professional manner, knowledge, communication skills and efficiency make booking a holiday super easy. Thank you Melanie - we always know we're in good hands.”

“We've used Chris from Peak Escapes to help plan and book a few of our family holidays and our latest trip to Whistler & Vancouver is amongst one of our most favourite of all! What started as a family trip turned into a group booking which is where Chris really excels, he was able to coordinate everyone's different needs to create a memorable holiday with our family & friends. Chris took care of everything from finding the best flight options, early bird deals on lift passes & ski hire, amazing accommodation options, transfers, tours - you name it, Chris can make it happen!”

“We did the sunset flight and it was fantastic. Pilot “Rod” was great, explaining the takeoff procedure, communications with control, why a helicopter is small stable than a light aircraft in winds, and lots of stuff which made the flight so interesting. Despite the 35kmh gusting winds, the helicopter was indeed very stable. My usually nervous wife loved it and is already talking about taking another.”

“100% would recommend to anyone visiting Stradbroke Island. Elisha shared so much knowledge with us and the stories of her community and family traditions were really enlightening and interesting. She was so friendly and welcoming and gave us an insight to the island that we wouldn't have got otherwise. Thank you from the Lumbs and the Ayers.”

“My two daughters have thrived ever since joining the Flamingo Family! They have a Centre Leadership Team that have been with their Team for 20 plus years! The educators are experienced, nurturing and passionate! I love that they have a centre library, art room and community garden which the whole centre contributes to sustainability. They even have excursions within the community as well as incursions run by the incredible team! We are informed of their day through story park and the floor books! It's a great way to keep us updated and is a testimony on how the educators support and guide my daughters in all areas of there learning and development, in ways that take into account their interests, strengths, experiences, culture and needs. Our youngest has even learnt Sign Language! It's wonderful to feel supported and apart of the Flamingo Family!”

“C&K St Lucia is an exceptional kindergarten. We relocated from Melbourne and were a bit anxious at the start about settling my 4 year old into a new centre. We are now well into the the second term, and couldn’t be happier. The centre staff are all warm and caring and extremely competent. My daughter often wants to stay longer at pickup time, this is testament of the fun and creative environment at the centre. The natural environment of the centre is beautiful also, lots of outdoor space and opportunities for nature-based play. The after-kindy care is excellent also, my husband and I both work full-time, and the ability to have a longer day at kindy makes it much easier to balance different commitments. I cannot recommend the centre highly enough, well done Lucy and team.”

“We rented a van with my friend to do Melbourne Sydney in 8 days. Everything was perfect, the van and the itinerary with the places to visit. I recommend it, thanks Vanz Travel !”

“This experience was AWESOME!!! We took the first cruise of the day (a modest 8:30am start) and it was just gorgeous. The vessel is new and clean and every seat has a great vantage point for whale spotting and cruising. We spotted the first whale pod very early on in the trip and were lucky to have lots of whale action both to and from our way to the humpback highway! The team are knowledgeable and the craft was comfortable. Def pack water & sunscreen and anti-seasickness tablets if you’re prone! Pics for reference of how close the whales got to us today!!”

“Ruth, you are an amazing asset to Travel Associates, with your meticulous organization of our recent 'Bucket List' vacation to Alaska, Canada & North America. We know how difficult and frustrating it has been for the Travel Industry and families with the disruptive world events. You successfully planned our twice re scheduled itinerary and kept us informed over three long years of uncertainty. Thank you again for your professionalism, travel knowledge, unsinkable enthusiasm and SOH. We will certainly use your services again and will speak highly of you and Travel Associates. A fantastic job. Well done. Kindest Regards Anne & Peter Chapman Ashmore. Q.”

“Catherine and Grant were amazing who ran this sun set cruise. Very easygoing, friendly and good sense of humour. Weather was perfect and Catherine who was the host communicated till the day i took this cruise. Had an amazing evening with my partner on this cruise. Highly recommend if you’re down Gold coast.”

“Such an easy process from start to end booking our trip with Dealsaway. The service we received from Jemma and each of the places we stayed was such a high standard. We can highly recommend booking any trip with the team their service was fantastic and the Perth and Rottnest Island trip was a great getaway and would highly suggest you get book it for yourself too see a cheeky Quokka who tries to steal your rice cakes and see the sights on the Island and Perth.”

“Had a fantastic bike trip in NZ organised by Julie at ROAR, who went the extra mile to make our trip fit our idea of a great holiday. It all flowed perfectly, amazing trails, great accommodation, the people - from the jet boat driver to the accommodation owners - were friendly and happy to help in any way. Highly recommend ROAR and will be using them again.”

“I have sent both my children to Sparrow Early Learning Jacobs Ridge, my eldest is now in Prep but youngest is in Kindy at Sparrow. The staff and management are wonderful, it's a second home for my kids. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic childcare centre in the Ormeau area.”

“Andrew was sensational, full of information, quick to reply to any questions or requests. He understood what we were looking for and matched a cruise that way exceeded our expectations. Thank you. I would highly recommend booking with Andrew at Expedition Cruise specialists.”

“From the moment I contacted the team at Barefoot Tours about a Starlight Wish , the team's dedication and enthusiasm shone through. They went above and beyond to create a personalised tour of stunning waterfalls around Cairns and the Tablelands, making dreams come true! The guide Patty was not only knowledgeable about the area's natural beauty but also was generally caring and attentive to the families needs. The attention to detail in planning the route and timing allowed the family to enjoy each spot to the fullest, and the memories that were made will be cherished forever. The food that was provided was absolutely delicious. So if you're looking for an unforgettable and personalised adventure, look no further than Barefoot Tours. With heartfelt gratitude, Hayley - Starlight Wish Experience Coordinator”

“excellent attention and service. They helped us at all times. We did an excursion that was canceled due to bad weather and they automatically contacted us to reschedule it for another day or give us a refund. very resolute very kind and attentive. without a doubt 100% recommended to accompany them on their vacations”

“Out with those boys on 17/05, private charter, best service charter ever. Best lunch, best fruit dish on the way back. Very nice fishing experience.”

“This was an amazing part of our Cairns experience. We chose riverboarding because it looked like a lot of fun on the advertisement photos, and it definitely was! It was also super nice to be in the river, feel the sunshine and be surrounded by the tropical jungle. Staff were super friendly and I felt super safe. I will try the canyoning experience next time as well!”

“Couso and Julian were the best guides you could ever hope for. Really made the trip big thanks to them. Met some top guys and had a brilliant time. Was a truly awesome trip the hard bit made it even better. Thanks to all involved.”
