Ruth helped us with our trip. I already had some things organized and wanted to include my son who is on vacation work visa. It was not easy to cobble around all of that. But she was patient and it all worked out brilliantly. Every tour we went on was a unique experience and we enjoyed them all tremendously. The bike tour of Sydney was fantastic, the nightime glow worm adventure in Byron bay was amazing and so was kayaking with dolphins. Another fabulous experience was the river float on Mossman river up by Port Douglas. I never thought I would enjoy tours so much.
Cheers to Ruth! Thank you for making that all possible. We would have missed so much without your guidance.

This is a sprawling complex, probably the only place to stay on this section of the island. Rooms are a little worn but the location is stunning. They did a nice job with limited, kid-friendly food. The activities available there are plentiful and all our guides were wonderful. The dolphin feeding is very well run and such a unique experience. We loved our stay there - didn’t want to leave.

Port Douglas

We were here for 5 nights, visiting the Great Barrier Reef and tours of the Daintree. It was an amazing time and nice to be in an apartment with the many amenities provided - washer/dryer, full and well stocked kitchen, a short walk to 4 Mile Beach, a bit longer walk to downtown Port Douglas, a private patio, 2 pools, housekeeping service. This would be a great place for a large family reunion. The only difficulty was the stair flights up to our 3rd floor place with heavy luggage, no elevators. Also , we arrived in the evening and there was no one on duty. We were left our key cards and very detailed directions to our room (and an upgrade), which was fine, just not what I expected. Staff during the day were very helpful and housekeeping was very friendly and helpful. I hope to go back!

When we first began planning our itinerary for Australia, it was a bit overwhelming…so many beautiful places to go in just 2 weeks! But we were extremely fortunate to have found Vicky and kimkim who made planning a dream. She was spot on when we let her know our interests and came up with an amazing itinerary that was perfect for us! Communication was excellent, and in spite of a few rainy days, what we were able to see and do was fantastic, especially with our gifted guides in Sydney, Uluru, Melbourne, the Blue Mountains, Port Douglas, and along The Great Ocean Road. One of our favorite experiences was snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef, and Vicky selected the perfect company to take us there. The ABC snorkeling charter was fantastic, with our guides who were extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. Sunrise at Uluru was spectacular, as was the lovely evening dinner and viewing with our guide who spotlighted all to see in the beautiful night sky.
Many thanks to Vicky and Kimkim for a perfect trip, which will leave us with so many beautiful memories.

Hi Bill and Judy,

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words—it truly made my day to read your reflections! I’m so happy to hear that your Australian adventure turned out to be such a memorable and meaningful experience, and that the itinerary felt just right for you.

Snorkeling with ABC on the Great Barrier Reef is always a standout, and I’m so glad you enjoyed it—they really do have a fantastic team. Sunrise at Uluru sounds like it was just as breathtaking as always, and I’m so pleased you enjoyed the sunset BBQ and star talk too—such a special way to connect with the landscape and sky out there.

Thank you also for your lovely feedback about the local guides—it means so much to know they made a positive impact throughout your journey. And I couldn't agree more about The Peninsula—it's one of my personal favourites too! The service and location are consistently fantastic.

And a big thank you for sharing your gorgeous photos—I absolutely love being able to see and share the moments that made your trip so special.

It was such a pleasure planning this trip with you both, and I’m so happy it’s left you with so many wonderful memories.

Warmest wishes,
