Amazing guide Stefan took us to the places on the list and to other sites to cater to our likes and the weather. Wild weather on the coast added to the stories of shipwrecks and martyrs but rain kept us from some of the activities. Food was all great. Accommodations good. Stefan's knowledge enhanced the sites. Shared the van with a family of 5 from Taiwan who were fun to be with. Kangaroos, Wallaby, Tiger snake, Koala, Emu, deer, goats, and tons of beautiful Australian birds. Great trip.

Scott is funny, amazing, caring, best tour guide. He prepared the hot coffee and cakes for us after the Penguin Parade in a cold, windy evening. I never get bored with Scott for a nearly 12 hours tour. Good Job Scott and look forward to join your tour next time.

From seeing koalas today the actual parade which is fascinating. Well worth it but where warm clothes this time of year as it does get very windy and cold!
