Pros: It was our first time & Hamesh was our skipper and an excellent person for a ride. He was funny and one of the best guide I have ever met. We book a premium tour through experience OZ & we really love it. We are family of four & kids really love it. Cons: The issue I had faced is customer service. At the end of tour we have been offered two photos for $25. Not a great click but i thought to collect it. after payment I had requested for a digital copy of photo which was not entertained at all beside another customer was offered digital photo when I enquire then I was told that the other customer is some sort of special customer/agent so she was entitle to have that privilege's which i didn't like at all. At the end of the day you don't like to feel like a 2nd class guest & unfortunately that has ruined our experience so I have to make it 4 star otherwise there was nothing wrong. Tips: The similar an hour tour was offered for $144 for family of four by Jet X but I had picked $199 with Paradise Jet Boat. Maybe next time I will give a try to Jet X and will let you know my experience.

We went on the 1hr jet ski safari with Harley as our guide and loved every minute! Kat was great in teaching us how to ride the jet skis and making sure we were safe. Once we were out on the water we had a great time, even spotted some Dugongs thanks to Harleys good spotting. We had a great time and would definitely come back!

We just did this yesterday and had a fantastic time. Our guide Nick was brilliant, the organisation, timing and equipment were all spot on. It starts with kayaking which was fun and both easier and harder than expected. Saw a dolphin swimming and jumping on the way to island. Walked across the island to have breakfast which Nick had to carry with him. Plenty to eat but don't go expecting great food. Not a problem for us but just to be aware. After breakfast more kayaking to reach next stop for snorkelling. We've done snorkelling with soooo many other operators and have always been disappointed in quality of masks and snorkels but these were excellent. Saw heaps of fish and created my own little feeding frenzy (including a tiny little bite on my hand) when we fed them (food was not disgusting). Weather was amazing and currents were kind to us. This trip was excellent value for money and we would totally recommend it to anyone with no health issues.
6. Stradbroke Island Adventure
Come for a drive with me to the beautiful stradbroke island. Picking you up at your hotel destination we will go catch the ferry to stradbroke and have an enjoyable coffee on board whilst gazing at the wonderful shoreline. Our next stop will be a quick dip in the brown lake which is coloured because of the native tea trees that grow all around it. Next we will go to point lookout and stroll the manmade bridges along the foreshore of the beach where we can watch surfers and maybe catch a look at a whale or two. Last but definately not least we will drive to amity point to walk along the jetty and feed the pelicans :) This is a wonderful way to get in touch with nature and is a beautiful relaxing day :) Keep an eye out for kangaroos and koalas!

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.
