We were first timers to Gold Coast and I was given the task to make sure that all the places which my wife (newly wed in Aus), her mother and sister wanted to cover are met. Thats 3 ladies staring at you to meet their aspirations on the trip. Thanks to Darran and his 4WD, through his personalized tour package,... More

Although this day trip is not cheap, we followed the advice of other travellers in booking this tour. We weren't disappointed, and went away feeling the added extras made the day better value for money than we'd expected. We also came away with a new appreciation for the Gold Coast hinterland. For one thing, meals and drinks are all included,... More

My partner and I spent an action packed day with Royd, and other passengers, unfortunately the weather was not bright and sunny but in no way did this limit the days activities. Royd, our driver and guide, was a great guide, very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna. He also made sure that it was fun, not just for us... More

We booked a half day tour from Jupiter Casino with this tour guide. I have never been on a proper 4WD before, as I am from Sydney this was my first time and so was my wife. We had the best private tour. The tour guide 'Darran' was knowledgeable, and you could talk to him almost about everything. Me and... More

My girlfriend and I were lucky enough to be in a small group of 3 with Royd as our tour guide. You can tell that Royd loves his job and he was always telling us funny stories about how he scared people in his tour (he pulls some fun pranks on you! I won't tell you what he does so... More

Roy and Darren were fantastic guides they were knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife and made sure the whole group enjoyed the experience by filling it with laughs. The food on the 4WD O'Reilly Tour was fantastic! I definitely recommend choosing the steak for the BBQ lunch and the scones for the morning tea were also delicious. Definitely one... More

Excellent guides - helpful, on time, informative, cheeky and mix in well with the group for a good laugh. The freshly made morning tea and BBQ lunch was simply delicious. Highly recommended and thanks... More

As a travel agent I get so many clients telling me they want to see the Gold Coast and asking me for theme park passes to do this. If you want to see the REAL Gold Coast you need to get off the beaten track. I have been up Tamborine Mountain 4 times now and this was my first time... More
