Friendly, scenic and enjoyable tour to Cape Gloucester - Our day with Cherene from Driftwood tours was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we embarked on our journey to Dingo Beach and onto Cape Gloucester we knew we were in expert hands. Cherene was positive, helpful. organised and knowledgeable.

Informative and relaxing full day tour. Not to be missed. - If you are looking for a relaxing tour to learn more about Airlie Beach and surrounding areas, Cherene from Driftwood Tours should be first on your list. We enjoyed the full day small group Cape Glouchester day tour with all the trimmings that Cherene offered. She tailored the day to suit our interests and couldn't have been more helpful including snacks along the way and providing us an amazing commentary at every turn. Nothing was too much trouble. We definitely recommend Cherene and Driftwood Tours.

Her local knowledge, combined with her bubbly, friendly personality just shine in the fabulous location of Airlie Beach and surrounding areas. We thoroughly enjoyed our two tours with Cherene, we wish we were staying longer to do all of her fantastic tours! We very highly recommend Driftwood tours!!

Excellent tour of the other side of Airie Beach . A must do - This tour was fantastic and with a group of 4 of us our guide Cherene made us feel so special and accomodated us to the hilt. I would highly recommend this tour if you enjoy beaches and rest and relaxation and the other side of Airlie Beach because it was purely stunning. And for a few extra surprises thrown in Cherene really went the extra mile but I won’t spoil it. Do this tour and find out for yourselves. Thank you so much for a wonderful tour
