Cape York and Tropical North by 4WD
Gary and Lea, NSW, Australia, Jul 2026
Interesting and informative trip. Well worth the effort and definitely a 'bucket list' tour. Accommodation, meals, 4WD vehicle and driver/guide Noel were all very good although the Bramwell Station accommodation was quite cramped. Our thanks to Grace for her assistance throughout the booking process.

Gulf Savannah Discovery by 4WD
Gary and Lea, NSW, Australia, Jun 2026
We combined the Gulf Savannah and Cape York trips back-to-back. Both tours were very interesting and worthwhile.
Highlights of the Gulf Savannah tour were sunset and drinks on a sand island in the Gulf at Karumba, exploring Cobbold Gorge and going deep into the Undarra Lava Tubes. Our driver/guide (Danny) was personable and informative, but some of read more the accommodation and meals were very basic.
Highlights of the Cape York tour were travelling the Bloomfield 4WD track, crocodile spotting in Weipa, exploring Bamaga, walking to the tip of Cape York, and checking out the highlights of Thursday Island. Our driver/guide (Noel) was excellent and very experienced/knowledgeable about the areas visited. Accommodation and meals were generally good, although Bramwell Station is quite different!
As usual, Grace from GJ was a great help with our booking, liaising professionally with Travelmarvel when the tour dates were changed late in the process.

West Coast disapointment
West Coast Explorer
Marianne, QLD, Australia, Jun 2026
In comparison to the Kimberley tour this was disappointing. I expected a different experience with a full quota of passengers and the itinerary, however the accommodation was well below the standard I expected for the cost. Dietary requirements were not well catered for and one picnic lunch was two slices of gf bread with a handful of salad leaves - read more no butter no protein. I think this tour needs to be reviewed and revamped. All the passengers got on well together but I know there was discontent about the very restricted use of the onboard toilet. It was only used once (in an emergency-a requirement) and the bushes were still recommended as the better option. Not acceptable and I have included this in my APT feedback.

Selvi, NSW, Australia, Jun 2026
Thank you Georgie for recommending Bunnik tours. Fantastic tour, well organised and packed with many activities and attractions. Iceland has so much beauty and Bunnik have have arranged a tour that covered the mail attractions of the island. The tour director and coach driver were fantastic. I have already submitted a review to Bunnik. Everyday was read more different and the attractions seem to just get better every day. Thanks again Georgie for arranging this tour.
AAT Kings itinerary for this outback tour was thoughtfully planned. There were many opportunities to learn about Aboriginal culture and view spectacular scenery. We enjoyed getting to know our fellow travellers. Having some evenings free to dine without the group was appreciated. Highlights included "Under a Desert Moon", Field of Light Sunrise and read more Uluru Barbecue with star gazing. Walks along the creek bed at Kings Canyon, Kata Tjuta exploration, around base of Uluru and at Simpsons Gap provided ample photo opportunities. Accommodation at the three resorts was spacious and meals high quality.
Bus drivers/tour guides all knowledgeable. Perfect weather in early June for travel with warm days and no rain.

This was an amazing experience. Our guide/driver Trish was fabulous. A small number of passengers made this trip very personal and everyone was very enthusiastic. A couple of disappointing accommodations but the APT camps were excellent. Dietary requirements were generally good especially at APT lodges. I would recommend this trip and the APT experience on this tour.
