Paula was amazing at helping us create the exact trip we wanted to Australia that included Brisbane, Port Douglas, Melbourne and Sydney. Having drivers meet us at each destination made our logistics easy and the tours scheduled in each city were second to none.

We were worried about the possibility of rain in Brisbane but once out on Moreton Island everything seemed better. We went snorkeling amongst the sunken ships and even saw a turtle.
