50 Minutes, Southport GC Aqua Park Inflatable Water Activity

ruthfR7519BY, Jul 2026

Excellent experience, highly recommend.

We did a 50min session this morning with our girls aged 9 & 11 and had a ball. For us the timeframe we had was plenty, the kids could have kept going but us 'used-to-be-fit' parents were wrecked. Easily one of the highlights of our holiday. We had a great time climbing all the obstacles and doing the slides. We even saw dolphins up close to the barrier. Staff were super friendly. They have wetsuit tops you can loan, a very wise choice for a July overcast day. Once we started on the course we didn't feel cold at all. Only down fall is you can't take photos while you're doing the course, there were some very funny moments we would have loved to capture. Overall; an excellent experience, highly recommend.

A must do - cherry on top of Kakadu!

A must do experience, it was a highlight of our visit to Kakadu. Unlike various hikes etc; this is something that you cannot do without a guide and it is absolutely worth it. We saw so much wildlife, the guide was knowledgeable and interesting and we all had a great time.

My partner and I were excited to see the reef in a comfortable & safe way, and our expectations were fully met! The passions crew were high skilled, friendly, and full of energy and fun. My partner isn't a good swimmer, but this didn't matter. They took great care of us, and the views of the reef via snorkel were fantastic!Don't forget to bring a towel and motion sickness pills!

Darwin History and Wartime Experience Tour

sarahlS919ZX, Jul 2026

Very knowledgable tour guide

Great way of getting around Darwin and seeing sights related to its wartime history. Takes you to similar locations as the Big Bus does, but adds a little more depth and does go to some different spots as well. Great fun being in the truck, but would be even better if there was an app or similar that could pick up what was being said to amplify it with earphones for those who might struggle. The driver was incredibly knowledgable, reeling off their information without stopping. The crowd in the vehicle were separated from the driver, which does mean you cannot ask a question until you stop somewhere briefly. Overall, an exceptionally good tour that lasted over an hour, that I would happily do again.

Looking for a stellar rainy-day escape? This underground cave tour is the perfect choice when the weather turns sour. Our group was incredibly diverse, spanning a wide mix of ages and ethnicities, yet the experience completely captivated everyone. The atmosphere inside was awe-inspiring, making it a genuinely great, memorable experience for all of us.

The staff who helped us confirm our tickets were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The guide was excellent—he made the tour very enjoyable and shared lots of interesting and fascinating facts throughout the visit. The facilities were very well maintained, and the cave lighting was perfectly designed to highlight its beauty. The cave itself is absolutely spectacular and well worth visiting.

Silversonic Outer Great Barrier Reef Cruise from Port Douglas

ScottAlexander_M, Jul 2026

Exceptional Day Out

We were two couples in 50s. Some had snorkelled elsewhere recently and some not/never. Our experience was exceptional from booking to pre-sail advice about what to take, to leaving on time, to just a truly memorable day. Three sites were different but by far our favorite was the second snorkel site of Turtle Island. Vibrant coral and wide variety of fish. 🐠 Personally I thought better than Fiji islands. The crew were friendly and slick. Everything ran like clockwork and instructions were clear and timely. The buffet lunch was yummy and plentiful, as were the snacks/tea/coffee. Liked the fact there were only 80 people on the SilverSonic and that no ladders were required for getting out of the water. . The unexpected Manta Ray show on the way back to PD just topped off a wonderful day. Well done to the entire SS team.
