There is no one word to sum up this tour, incredible, stunning and mesmerising just don't feel like they do this tour justice. From the minute Chris picked me up, it was incredible stop after another, from stunning views of a local beach I had to myself, through to the jaw dropping Flinders Chase National Park and onto the breath taking seal bay conservation area. Every aspect of this tour was 5 stars, there is not a single aspect I can fault, and it was simply one of the best tours and tour guides I've had in my life.
This tour was one of the highlights of the trip, thanks to Gethin! Although much of the island had been closed due to the fire damage, this tour was still an unforgettable part of our trip. Gethin's knowledge of the island was fascinating. He showed us many places we wouldn't have found on our own and allowed gave us plenty of time to take photos. I'm so glad we went with this tour instead of trying to drive the island on our own!
MS Albatros tendered us to Penneshaw on 23. February 2020, where we were received from Riggsy, the best guide you can wish for an amazing day! He knew so much about the island, its history and culture and about life on this beautiful part of Australia and we were overwhelmed to see all the beauties but also the dreadful devastation from the bushfires. Although one of your highlight Flinders Chase was closed, your choosen itinerary was great. We saw all possible sights and got all the knowledge from Riggsy. We want to thank you for your flexibility and for that wonderful day we will not forget!!!!
I was so glad I booked this tour instead of trying to do the exploring on my own. It was great not to have to drive so I could really look around and I wouldn't have known what spots have been affected, that is closed, because of the fires. Gethin was fully in the know so no time was wasted seeking out places that are closed for now while recovery from the fires is happening. I really felt I got a good overview of the island , a great lunch at the Lavender Farm, good beaches.... and good tips for how to spend my subsequent two days on island.
well organised trip as well as nimble enough to fit in some special elements as they crop up along the way. after days with 100s of people on the cruise ship, it was great to be in a small group of 8 on a small bus and have access to Don our guide to chat about life on this beautiful part of Australia. Kylie was also helpful on the booking side of things. thanks one and all for showing us around your great home!
Only having one day on an island is always difficult but the itinerary was put together so that we saw all the highlights with good time to enjoy. Riggsy was fabulous and the admin provided by kylie in the set up was excellent too. I have seen some reviews from cruise ship passengers moaning about cancellation fees to which I would say : choose a ship excursion then as you would be covered! But there is a reason you didn’t- this tour was much much better and cheaper by far!
