Went for this 6 days/5 nights camping tour of Esperance and South West coast of WA (ex-Perth). Sean was our great guide and we had 12 people on the tour, commencing on 27th December and finishing on 1st January. Smooth booking experience thanks to Cassey from booking office. They were kind enough to accommodate me against a cancellation. One of the best holidays I ever had thanks to a great effort by Sean over 6 days. A great guy he kept the group engaged, has excellent knowledge of the places and guided the group efficiently through the week. Cooking for a variety of dietary requirement, driving long distances, setting the camp, giving our group a memorable experience...definitely he made a big difference to our experience. This tour covers one of the most beautiful part of the country - white sandy beaches of Esperance & Cape Le Grande, Denmark, Albany, Walpole, Pemberton, Peaceful Bay, Margaret River region. Covers the must-do spots (and a lot more) for the South West region of WA. Probably the only tour which covers this region (and budget friendly). Those who haven’t done camping trip before, this is pretty well catered when it comes to food and essentials. All camp sites had clean, spacious well maintained showers and toilets. And Sean helped us pick up important camping skills during the trip! A must do trip for anyone travelling to Western Australia.

Henry gave us a great tour of Phillip Island, aided by some beautiful weather (thanks melbourne). He was a very knowledgeable guide and just a great guy to have to spend the tour with. We had a close family friend who warned us from doing a trip down to Phillip Island. They hated it. But the more I read up on the island, the more I realised that most other people that had visited the island, overwhelmingly had a positive experience. But now I understand why my friend hated it. They took a bus tour and when we compared notes on our tour, they described the places they stopped. Well they only visited 3 stops. We visited about 10 different locations and half of them were definitely not on the tourist map as we were the only ones there. But to be honest, these were my favourite stops. They were well away from the tourist buses and in fact probably not accessible to the buses as we went down some narrow roads. But the wildlife there was out of this world. So look, if you are going to to Phillip island at all, find out where you will be taken. How much value for money are you getting. Are the tickets included. Is there an advantage to taking a private tour. How well does your group mix with other people you have never met. Do you want to go and your own pace or happy to go at the pace set by the rest of the group. Do you want to be picked up from your hotel doorstep or are you happy to jump on a tram to meet the bus tour. Obviously these are not questions my friends asked before she booked her tour. So really, do your research people or you will just end up on a tour that isn’t right for you. There are lots of options so nobody out there should be licking the wrong tour for them.unless you are a lazy click and book person like my friend!

I spent 7 days on this paddle steamer with another 100 or so passengers, initially a 3 day cruise in an inside cabin which I later extended for another 4 days in an outside cabin. The boat travels by day and is moored overnight, the pace is not rushed and can get a little boring although trivia and bingo is scheduled during the day with several on shore excursions also arranged, some included and some at an additional cost. There is a dinning room, lounge and bar onboard, dining is at set times with passengers assigned to a specific table for dinner. Food is good and plentiful usually with several courses and two choices. It’s all inclusive except for drinks which are reasonably priced, drinks are charged to your account which is settled the night prior to departure. The cabins are quite small even for a solo passenger and I preferred the slightly larger inside cabin although they have no window. All in all a fun cruise popularly with the older crowd, I’ve booked again for next year.

We had an absolutely brilliant tour of Kangaroo Island. As we only had a few days in Adelaide we chose the one day tour to really just get a taste of the island and get an idea of what's there, with a view to maybe coming back in the future for a longer trip. From the minute we were picked up in Adelaide CBD we were well looked after by the Sealink staff. However, our driver and tour guide for the day - Dani - was just incredible. She was remarkably knowledgeable about the island, was friendly and professional, and took amazing care of us all as we went around the various activities. They really pack in the sight seeing on the day trip and I think it's great value for money, there is plenty to see and the tour on the bus makes it really interesting and engaging. I would highly recommend! And we'll definitely be back to Kangaroo Island for a longer stay!

We did the Mornington Peninsula Wine Tour with John and had the best experience. John was the most incredibly warm, friendly and knowledgeable host. He made everyone in the group feel super welcome. We all had the best time and it was because of John. Thank you for the most incredible day!
