Vale realmente la pena hacer cualquiera de sus recorridos y Víctor, el guía es muy amableValentin Jud23 November 2024Such a lovely guy victor, had such a wonderful day with him at North Stradbroke. Would love to go on a trip again, hope he will make some more tours in the future !Minki JANG23 November 2024Awesome service, Strongly recommended!
EXCELLENTBased on 111 reviewsAmanda C15 October 2024Whale sighting and beach games Paradise Tours was amazing and showed us the best Stradbroke Island had to offer, including Brown Lake, Gorge Walk and Cylinder Beach. I went with a large group of ESL students and we had it all: aussie fauna galore, games on the beach, relaxing lunch, and even a visit to the local museum. Victor was a kind and attentive guide and I would totally do another tour with his team. Thanks, Victor!Ian M11 March 2021Top tour Great day out with Damien who by the end of the day it was like being with a old mate there was supposed to be two couples on this tour and one couple pulled out at the last moment so we basically had a private tour it was fantastic have Damien who is a ex national park ranger as a guide it was great as he could pass on years of knowledge to us where as a normal guide might not be able have the same amount of experience the morning tea was a fantastic fruit platter tea and coffee lunch was fresh rolls salad slaws peri peri chicken plus condiments again very very nice Damien asked us what we would like to do we were unsure of what to do and left it to him to show us around well we seen spectacular scenery during the day waterfalls rain forest plus plenty of wild life on the way as well all I can say is do yourself a favour and try one of his tours out you won’t be disappointedGreg F9 July 2020Outstanding tour guide, incredible beauty. Perfect professionalism Beautiful experience! Damian, our guide is an ex Ranger, so who better to steer novice walkers through three National Parks across two days?General Impression: Damian is the right man doing the right job in the right way with the right equipment.He is laid-back but absolutely professional. It felt like a friend was sharing and leading a series of experiences for and with the group. His total focus is on helping the group to have fun.His knowledge is deep and wide, but he doesn't lecture or show off, just answers questions conversationally and smoothly. His style is friendly and helpful.He is exactly the right amount of quirky - interesting but not irritating, and sometimes amusing.His ability to modify plans on the fly depending on shifts in weather is astounding.To run through our expectations and his performance in line with how the tour was advertised:1. Hotel pickup: Precisely on time, but not aggressively so (he sent a txt saying "I'm downstairs, ready when you are)2. Vehicle: Perfect for the task, a van which is comfortable, spotlessly clean and just the right size to navigate winding country roads. I'm pretty sure he sanitizes it every day.3. Planning and route management: Completely focused on our ability, fitness and wants. Flexible depending on weather. He knows so many tracks and trails right across the Coast and hinterland that he can always find a suitable and spectacular walk (some of which he helped to make).4. Food: Fresh, healthy, simple and very tasty. Quantity and quality both great.5. Conversion: Fantastic. Friendly, packed with knowledge, some humour and loads of interesting information.6. The little things which mean so much: Holding my seatbelt to ease my tennis elbow, sensitivity to the feelings of a teenage girl, taking walking breaks by talking about a vine, mushroom, tree or rock formation rather than calling out someone who was lagging behind. Just an awesome overall person-focus delivered seamlessly and with great sensitivity.Elsie Greg9 July 2020Booking with Damian is like catching up with an old friend who has suddenly become a Rainforest expert! Incredible day!Everything was easy, comfortable and flawless. He tailored the whole experience to our wants and fitness. Even with last minute changes due to weather, the whole day had that effortless feel which you only get with plenty of experience and meticulous planning. His Park Ranger background, wealth of knowledge and easygoing humorous personality made a great day unforgettable. 100% recommend Paradise Tours and Damian.Jocey26 March 2020Mountain tour A wonderful day out, did'nt miss a single magical waterall, morning tea and lunch provided. A very knowledgeable ranger for a guide. Great value for money.IngaZil10 March 2020Highly Recommend! Was amazing tour! Damian was very friendly and knowledgeable guide. It was more like customized tour. First we went to Witches Falls National Park and had nice hiking in ancient rainforest. Was amazing to see giant old trees, fig trees with buttress roots, different king of eucalypts and to learn more about Australia's nature. Then we went to Natural Bridge, where we had nice picnic. Damian prepared some food and drinks for lunch, which was really nice. Last stop was Twin Falls, which was really amazing and highly recommend to see it! If you like to swim in waterfall, don't forget to take swimsuit. All tour was really nice and Damian was very friendly. Highly recommend!Michela876 March 2020Best day in the Gold Coast This week me and my husband had the pleasure and delightful surprise to participate to the "paradise tour aistralia - Small Group Tour (Max 6) Gold Coast Super 7Waterfalls Tour: Springbrook". We had a beautiful rainy day perfect for the rain forest and waterfalls. Our guide Damian was extremely attentive and helpful, he made our day even better. We recomand this tour, we had one of the best day in the Gold Coast.Nick, Winterbourne7 February 2020Amazing alternative to usual Gold Coast day out Damien was exceptionally good at his job. Good communication from outset, tailored day around our requirements and amended to account for inclement weather. Proceeded with tour even though required numbers were not met. Snacks/lunch was of high standard and well presented. Excellent day out in fantastic surroundingskfinlay222 January 2020Book this! My dad and I had a GREAT day with Damian! He was extremely nice and tailored the day to what my dad and I enjoyed. Don't even hesitate booking this, it's an awesome experience with a great guide! :)David F16 January 2020Very good tour guide Travelled with a friend and this was a nice day out in the rainforest with a knowledgeable, friendly and funny tour guide. Some views were compromised by smoke from nearby fires but the tour was worthwhile nonetheless. Enjoyed the lunch! Tour bus even had wifi!
