Excellent trip. Samantha and Lea did an awesome job. We traveled to 4 different cities, and all of the arrangements were excellent. Seamless coordination between domestic flights, transfers, hotels, and activities. Diving at the Great Barrier reef in Carins was a highlight, as was the Taronga Zoo Experience!

Location was excellent, but the hotel left a bit to be desired. Clean, but showing some age.

5 stars doesn't even do it justice. A pricy option, but worth the splurge. The grounds, food, and staff are second to none! The resort also provided free transportation all over the island.

Highly recommend. We were able to get up close with a koala and feed kangaroos and emu. A really great "behind the scenes" tour led by a zookeeper.

We were on the Ocean Free which is a sailboat. It was awesome. Toni did a great job on the guided scuba dive as well. Would certainly repeat!
