Trent R., 03 Nov 23
Would 100% recommend doing waterfall wanderers! Amazing sights and an overall fun activity to do for the day! My partner and I absolutely loved this tour. Our tour guide John was amazing and made the trip even better! He was very friendly, happy, funny, and gave us all plenty of information throughout the tour and cracked plenty of jokes. Really genuinely seemed like he loved his job, kudos to John.
Diane Dennison, 20 Oct 23
A great tour to add to your FNQ trip! Our guide was Lizzy and she was fantastic - she was very knowledgeable and funny and kept us amused with her dad jokes all through the day. The waterfalls were beautiful and the trip didn't feel rushed at all (unlike others we did with other tour operators). Would recommend this trip to young and old alike.
Michelle Boyton, 11 Jun 23
Great tour, covered a lot within the day. Tour guide Carlos was very professional and well knowledged. Catering for all ages and abilities to ensure everyone had a great day. Highlight: seeing a Platypus. Made my day with the help of Carlos, to do the rock slide at Josephine falls, felt like a kid !!
Sarah Happel, 14 Dec 22
The waterfalls were stunning, of course (we especially loved the rock slide at Josephine falls!), but our tour guide Steph really made the trip! She was just so amazing -- very knowledgeable and made the entire tour including the bus ride so much fun.
