Magical day
The tour was the perfect way to discover the island and all of its incredible wildlife. Tim showed us the most beautiful spots and made sure we experienced the very best the island has to offer. We saw so much wildlife, including turtles, rock wallabies, koalas and the magical butterflies. My daughter and I absolutely loved every moment of it. Thank you, Tim, for an unforgettable day!

Great Island Familiarising Tour by Knowledgeable Local
This tour was the best way to obtain a good overview of the island - especially the populated / tourist bits; as well as could be done in a day, and much better than could have been achieved independently. Neill provided great commentary throughout, laced with some humour at times. He covered historical facts, geographical and geological information as well as natural / environmental facts. The time available of course limited the opportunities at locations which one might have liked to explore some more; however, Neill was most accommodating when requests for quick photo stops were made.

Handy Airport Stay
Whale Watching and Wildlife Cruise Townsville and Magnetic Island

Handy Airport Stay
Handy hotel to Brisbane Airport's domestic and international terminals plus there is a Airport shuttle bus to and from the airport too. We found the room very comfortable and very good bathroom facility too. We also tried the ground floor bar as they had lighter meal options which were delicious. The only negative we had about the hotel was the initial reception area where instead of the usual reception counter and staff, there are large computer terminals which a staff member does help you navigate to finalise your reservation. It was quite confusing when entering the foyer to see this tech method of checking in. We felt this took away from the usual human interaction with customers. We also didn't have any luggage support offered which would have been handy. Overall, a convenient ok stay but quite expensive for what you received.

Wonderful day out at the reef off Townsville
Thoroughly enjoyable day trip out to John Brewer and Loadstone Reefs with Adrenalin Snorkel & Dive. We were gifted with calm conditions albeit a slight current due to the full moon. Viz was ordinary (not the tour's fault) at John Brewer but was able to see MOUA and the surrounding reef life. We had favourable wind conditions and were able to visit Loadstone Reef which was better viz (full sun at the time of visiting helped), so a more enjoyable snorkel. Professional tour with exceptional/attentive staff including Master Reef Guides on board to fill you with everything "reef" and a top skipper full of knowledge and great stories. We are seasoned snorkellers and did the Introductory Scuba Dive - well worth it albeit low viz at JBR. Our dive instructor, Pierre, was amazing. He was professional, extremely patient and gently encouraging which made us feel safe and comfortable the whole time. What more could you want for your first dive?! Iced water, cordial, fresh fruit, biscuits, protein and salad wraps (and sauces) provided and enjoyed. A big thank you to all the crew - Paul, Rob, Caitlin, Pierre, Daniel & Nadine for a memorable day out on the reef off Townsville. Highly recommended.

Great guide - great day with Tim. He’s always lived on the island and knew everything about it. His van was super comfortable. He took us to some places that were not on the original tour list. Very impressed by his koala rescue work. Highly recommend him.
