Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Amazing boat tour to Moreton Island
    Amazing experience! Beautiful catamaran boat and very friendly caring crew staff. Comfortable cruise ride and saw pods of humpback dolphins on our way to Moreton Island. On arrival they provided gears & guided snorkeling around the shipwrecks, seeing corals & lots of colorful fish. After that we also had ample time for swimming / SUP/ relaxing on the beach. Very delicious tropical buffet lunch with Gold Coast king prawns and fresh fruits for snacks.
    Highly recommended to spend a day with SeeMoreton tour when visiting Brisbane.

    Fantastic day out
    Itinerary was great - a really full day but was a really relaxed pace and plenty of time to take in the surroundings and wildlife.
    Tour guide James was excellent - very knowledgeable and friendly, and unbelievably good at spotting wildlife!

    Great adventure day
    We originally had the 4pm ferry booked but for an extra $20 each, we were able to book onto the 7pm ferry which gave us extra time. We were able to do the ATV Quad tour then.
    The Desert Safari is expensive but great fun! Sliding down a 70m (8 storey) dune gives you such an adrenaline rush. Plus it's a great workout walking back up. Prepare for sand going everywhere (I really mean everywhere), getting sand burn and wear sunglasses to prevent sand in the eyes.
    The ATV Quad tour is more value for money. Ride around either solo or tandem on a sand adventure park.
    The only struggle of the day was finding the tour desk to check into our Desert Safari. More signage needs to be put up there.

    This was a really great tour, it was fun doing a tour of the Gold Coast and Byron bay.The views were really scenic and beautiful, the walk we did along the Gold Coast to the easternmost point of Australia was really awesome. Trevor is an awesome tour guide.

    Crystal waters and champers - yes please!
    Much to our surprise we only had 6 people on our boat yesterday with 2 crew. I felt bad that they were only taking such a small group, but nonetheless we had a great time despite the cooler weather. We had pre-ordered a bottle of MUMM champagne which we wanted to drink on the beach, so I decided to swim from the boat across to the beach with it safely packed in a bag and balanced on a pool noodle!! The water was crystal clear and so relaxing. How lucky were we!!

    We then headed over to St Helena island to enjoy a cheese platter and a drink. I had wished we had an opportunity to head into the historical buildings, but I will go back and explore another time. We had great music onboard as well as great crew. Would highly recommend.

    Good but such a late trip
    Although the staff were lovely and the island is beautiful with lots of fun activities. No where does it indicate that you get back to Brisbane at 9:30pm!

    Great day out
    Tash Maree tours is the one to go with. After being let down by another company, Tash Maree tours were there to pick up the pieces so to speak.
    What a fantastic day! Great company and the wineries we stopped at were great and very accommodating. Great service at each one.
    John our driver was excellent.
    Definitely worth checking it out.
    Mount Tamborine distillery was the the highlight. Definitely going back.

    INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!
    This is an absolutely amazing trip- BOOK IT! We were picked up by a private van and given music control for the duration of the drive up the mountain. We visited 3 beautiful wineries with great mountain views, wine, and food. The wine was some of the best we have ever had, and more than got our moneys worth with the tasters. We stopped for lunch at St. Bernard’s Hotel where we were greeted by peacocks, 3 giant St. Bernard dogs, and amazing food. Then we went shopping on a cute strip before heading home. Scottie was a hilarious and knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend for anyone who likes wine or just wants to spend time in the mountains.
