We booked the hummer H2 tour and had the best time. Our guide Garry was just lovely and was fantastic with the kids... He was full of great information about the area and sights.
As there were five of us it was just us on tour so Garry made it very clear it was our day and if we wanted to stop for a photo or something just let him know.
Our day took us to an Alpha Farm for morning tea, with beautiful views of the valley... we then wound our way up to O'Riellys where we did the treetop walk. Including the ladder climb up to the top of the canopy (Garry was wonderful taking our kids up as we were stuck on the phone sorting out an emergency back home).
We then drove down Duck Creek Road a dirt road full of twists and turns, bumps and mud... Kids loved it as they giggled and squealed. We bypassed the 40 min walk to a waterfall as it was wet so we headed straight to lunch and the Gallery Walk.
Lunch at the winery was leasiourly and delicious. When we finished my hubby and I did some wine tasting while Garry sat with the kids eating icecream....
We enjoyed a couple of hours shopping, tasting fudge, cheese, wine, a visit to the brewery and granny macs lolly shop.
After such a great day we all piled in the hummer to head home... Garry took us on a small detour with stunning views of the coastline, to make up for not seeing the waterfall. All in all a wonderful day.
Upon arrival back at our hotel Miss 12, Miss 11 and Mr 9 announced it was the BEST DAY EVER and better than any theme park. It was hugs all round for Garry who really made the day with his quick wit and fun stories. Thanks Garry!!
The hummer sounds exciting, main reason why we booked it. It turned out to be more of a nature excursion than a 4wd adventure we anticipated. But that isnt a bad thing at all. We actually learnt ALOT from d tour. It was very educational and interesting. Our guide, Glenn was amazing!
The tour included a tea break and lunch.
The views on tamborine mount were amazing. The waterfalls were magnificent. It takes you away from the glitz and glitter of goldcoast and into the hinterlands. We even spotted wallabies in its natural habitat.
Highly recommend if you happen to be in gold coast.
This was a good day out. Phil , our guide, was full of knowledgeable yarns . There were only 3 passengers on this tour, so it seemed more like a family outing.
First brief stop was Canungra, where we were told that the old tramway tunnel is no longer open.
Sadly, whoever runs the Alpaca farm decided to be elsewhere (unbeknown to Phil) , so we just had a quick look at the animals.
At O'Reillys we had our scones & tea, followed by the rainforest walk.
After a super drive we found ourselves at Tambourine. Lunch was followed by a liesurely stroll around the shops on Gallery walk. It was then back to the Hummer for an exciting off-road journey back down the mountain.
It was a nice day out , but NOT as described. The Natural Arch and Curtis Falls were not included.So with the absence of Alpaca farm & tramway tunnel it looks like we missed out somewhere.
My review is reflected by the experience we had with Tim our tour guide for the 27th August 2014. Tim was phenomenal. His stories and experience with the area are uncanny. He never failed to have a fun fact or interesting experience to share throughout the whole day, not to mention is humourous dad jokes got the whole car laughing. Thanks again Tim for such a memorable day. You were terrific.
We have Phil as our driver on July 28. Our family of four enjoy very much with the tour. Phil is a friendly and knowledgable guide. He managed to control the Hummer very well when we went off road. That was a great day and we always move ahead of the crowd and save us a lot of waiting time. It is really worth to spend more for this tour than the standard tour with more than twenty people.
Lance is the best Tour Guide! It was a great day because of him. I remember asking him " Don't you get sick and tired of doing the same thing everyday? He answered, "Through this job, i don't need to travel the world, with my passengers, the world comes to me" Highly recommended adventure at Surfers Paradise!
