“Picked up and greeted with a great smile from Wendy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2011

Needing a couple of hours of nurturing my friend suggested I give Visions Walks a call about their Crystal Castle tour.
Picked up and greeted with a great smile from Wendy, she made sure I was comfortable and took her time driving the scenic windy roads, so I could relax and enjoy my first part of my nurturing afternoon.
Crystal Castle turned out to be just the thing I needed to lift my spirits. A spiritual place to walk at my own pace and breath in the beauty that has been created just for people like me (or that's what it felt like) and the enjoyment of someone serving me cup of tea and the yummiest cake ever.

“Save the money and do the walk yourself”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 July 2011

We had booked the Mignon Falls walk in May paid for by credit card. 2 Days before we arrived we were informed, that the "car is broken" and the trip was cancelled. We asked for any alternative walks or ideas: not even a reply! It took more than 3 weeks (and three emails) to finally get the money refunded. Very disappointing service.
So when we stayed in Byron Bay we made the walk by ourselves.
First we had more fun and we saved ~$200. The direction and path is easy to find and well indicated. By the way: there was no park-fee to be paid (which of course was part of the packet-price from Eco Tours)
So my recommendation is: save the money and do the walk yourself.
The attraction is 4=very good, Eco Tours is 0=not existing.

Wizard139, I'm sorry that you experienced poor customer service, this is not the level of service people usually experience with us. But as you said we did give you 2 days notice of the cancellation. You caught us in a period of re-structuring and some admin tasks were not as efficient as they normally are. The old vehicle had broken down, as we are located in a country area it took longer than normal to get the parts. We have now changed vehicles to one better suited for the purpose. As for the park fees, we have to pay park fees to the National Parks and Wildlife Service as a part of the Eco-Parks Pass, this included a annual fee plus a per person fee.

I'm glad you enjoyed your walk, it is a beautiful forest, and Minyon Falls are awesome. We do encourage people who are confident walkers and have their own transport to do the walk themselves. The benefit of going with us is environmental interpretation and education (which is what eco-tourism is about).

“What an adventure”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 May 2011

Wendy picked my girlfriend and I up from our hostel and took us on a night walk which was amazing. We saw frogs, snakes, possum freshwater crayfish and more. She really knew her facts and I could tell she was very passionate about the animals. The night vision goggles were the highlight of our trip.

Thanks Wendy,

Spencer and Alex

“An amazing and unique experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2011

The best part of the walks we took was the newfound appreciation for the natural world that I was left with.

We went on the Minyon Falls Rainforest Walk and the Night Vision walk. Both were absolutely amazing. The Rainforest walk was stunningly beautiful, and the Night Vision walk was very exciting (even though we only saw a few animal).

Both walks were incredably interesting and informative thanks to our guide Wendy. Her passion for the area is obvious.

If you're going on a trip to Byron Bay you CAN NOT miss this unique experience.
