4WD day trip from Cairns to Daintree and Cape Tribulation, with croc cruise, rainforest walk, swim, and free Daintree ice cream.

Queensland Outback Spectacular: 2 hours of dinner, drinks, acrobats, animals, and comedy, plus bush billy tea and a hat.
“Excellent and a different experience of its kind. A must see”
3 days on K’Gari (Fraser Island) by 4WD with driver training, dingo-proof camping, hot spots like McKenzie and Champagne Pools.
“An interesting trip, our guide Paul was friendly and knowledgeable although at times it would have helped to know timings between locations. The tents at night were extremely hot and there were differing messages between what was provided and not - ie. Pillow not provided although some literature did not highlight this and sleeping bags were provided although some literature stated there may be a rental fee for them. There was also an indication that there were free cold shower or hot showers for a fee - this was incorrect, only with a $2 coin could you have a shower. From our experience travelling with the same car for the…”
Drover’s Sunset Cruise in Longreach pairs a Thompson River sunset boat ride with a two-course dinner and live show at Smithy’s.

Beach driving 4WD, crystal lakes, rainforest creek drifting, and a saltwater spa on K’Gari, sleeping beachside for 3 action-packed days.

Ride 4WD into Stockton Beach dunes, then enjoy unlimited sandboarding with instruction, views, and quick transfers back to Birubi.
“Great service and loved the fact that we were able to stay for as long as we needed.”
Uluru sunset views, an Aussie BBQ dinner near the rock, and a guided star talk. Pickup from Ayers Rock Resort, weather permitting.
“Lovely experience overall. Sunset Viewing was dramatic and the bubbly made it toast worthy. Dinner under the stars will be a cherished memory.”
Noosa 4WD beach ride and guided kayak at Double Island Point, hunting dolphins, turtles, rays and seasonal whales on a 6-hour tour.
“Our guides Cam and Nick were amazing. Unfortunately other than one Dorsal fin we didn’t see any animals but the place is so incredible and the guides were great that the kayaking experience by itself was worth the trip. We had rough enough conditions so wasn’t for the faint hearted or poor swimmers, and was a little sea sick inducing for some. Over all a great day out.”
Katherine Outback Experience show ticket in the NT, with horse-starting, working dogs, country music, and family-friendly seating.
“This show is more about the training of the animals and the amazing things they can do when you have a little insight into how they think. I think Tom and his team are doing a great job. They may even have a little horse whisperer in them. Also Kudos to them for raising $100,000 for Dolly’s dream. Great show. Thoroughly enjoyed it.”
Koalas, lobster processing, the Pinnacles and Lancelin sandboarding on a guided Perth 4WD day tour with pickup and fish and chips.
“This is definitely worth going for. Many attractions in one day. First stop Caversham Wildlife- adorable koala, kangaroo, woombat. You got a chance to feed kangaroos, touch the animals and take photos with them. Next was Lancelin sand dune- adventurous 4x4 bus ride going through the hilly sand dune like going on a roller coaster. You then get to do sand boarding- a must try! After that headed to lobster shack in a fishing village Cervantes for lunch. Finally to the Nambung National Park to experience fantastic view of the pinnacle dessert. Really enjoyed the trip. Good narrative by the tour driver Pete.”
Noosa to Double Island Point by 4WD and sea kayak, with dolphins, turtles, whales, and big surf views in Great Sandy.
“Was an awesome day, Great fun and business owner was tour guide with a wealth of knowledge and experience. It was evident that he really cared about the environment and the wildlife, making sure any up close encounters with Dolphins, Turtles and Stingrays were at their choice not ours. Took my 23 year old daughter had an awesome time and experience. Thanks heaps. Michael”
Small-group 4WD day trip from Cairns to Chilagoe Caves, smelter ruins, Balancing Rock, and Granite Gorge wallabies, with tea and lunch.
“The caves were awesome, it is truly a must see experience if you’re traveling in Cairns and want to do something besides visit the Daintree and Reef. Shoutout to Andrew/AJ for being a great guide and very inclusive of everyone. A lot of activists in one day makes it easily worth it!”
Half-day Uluru sunset tour with Kuniya Walk, cultural centre, sparkling wine, and optional Outback BBQ under the stars.
“Sitting under the stars with Uluru in the backdrop, having a marvelous dinner was a memory that will last a lifetime!”
From Cairns to Chillagoe Caves and Granite Gorge, with fossil coral, smelters, Aboriginal rock art, wallabies, and a Skybury coffee stop.
“Something really different from the usual tourism things along the coast. Nice to get inland and see the bush. Great caves and tour guide”
Full-day K’gari (Fraser Island) 4WD from Noosa with hotel pickup, return ferry, UNESCO stops, Lake McKenzie swim, and Eli Creek.
“An absolutely fantastic day on K'Gari. We packed so much in to the day and our guide Hannah shared so much of her knowledge about the island. Plenty of food and drink provided too.”
