What a fantastic day! Our tour guide, Shane, was knowledgeable and showed us all around the island. Some of the day's highlights included seeing 3 koalas!!, ospreys feeding a chick at their nest, a feeding frenzy beneath the cliffs of the Gorge Walk at Point Lookout, and a visit to Brown Lake. Although it was hot outside, the bus' airconditioning gave us a break

I travelled with QTour Australia from Brisbane to the Australia Zoo and back. I could have booked it as a half day at the zoo and then met up with the tour group to visit the Sunshine Coast but I chose to spend my entire day at the zoo. While I was only with the tour group for the drive to and from the zoo, I had a great time. The tour guide, Heather, was energetic and fun. She kept us entertained with all kinds of fun facts and interesting information about the area. She would ask us questions to keep us engaged in everything she was telling us about. While keeping us entertained, she was also training a new driver who was doing a great job. I can already tell she is going to be just as great as Heather!

It rained almost non-stop throughout the tour, and we were late getting back to Brisbane because of traffic but I still had a great time. We did and saw so much in just one day from a visit to a rain forest, shopping in Montville and Eumundi Markets and a beautiful coastal hike in Noosa National Park. You wouldn't be able to do this all in a single day if you went on your own. Thanks Shane for being such a patient and knowledgeable guide.

10. Explore Maleny, Montville, and take a swim under the waterfall.

Tania our guide was great. It was my 60th and I was looking for a little company that offered great value for money and I got it. The wineries we went to had great wines and were very pretty. We even went to a little boutique distillery where we got to sample some interesting liqueurs. We didn't know exactly where we were going at the start but as it turned out two of our stops were on my bucket list to visit. We all had a fantastic time with heaps of laughs. COVID restrictions had been eased in Queensland recently and we just had to sanitise and sign in at each venue and that was great.
