A beautiful island trip full of flora and fauna with an expert friendly guide - This was an amazing trip, with a friendly guide who went out of his way to help us enjoy the day. Highlights included spotting four koalas in the treetops and swimming at beautiful Cylinder Beach. An overcast day and a delayed return ferry did not detract from a wonderful and memorable day. Highly recommended!

Seeing wildlife while not interfering with their natural habitat! - We had an amazing time which we attribute to our wonderful tour guide, Ivy. He was knowledgeable, fun, flexible, yet gave clear instructions for safety for us as well as the wild life. He ensured he knew where everyone was and would check on those who wandered a little on their own, while giving us moments of privacy & freedom to wander. Even when the weather suddenly turned bad, he persevered and took us to see wild koalas and we even stumbled upon a spectacular pod of dolphins that came very near the beach. That was really special! Ivy was very attentive to us and even gave his jacket to someone who didn’t bring one. He kept us dry when it rained and we felt very well looked after. We saw ospreys, turtles, sting rays, kangaroos, koalas and dolphins in the wild. Amazing experience! I highly recommend Stradbroke Island Tours and will certainly return with the rest of our family!

Orlando family - We had and Incredible day and our tour person was the nicest and best tour guide I had for many years
Iby was very attentive and caring and despite of having rain and wind he tried his best to make our day wonderful and it was!!!
My kids had a blast and he took us to different locations
In one of them we were close to a pack of dolphins near us and we had the opportunity to observe them even playing
We saw Koalas, Kangaroos
The scenery was espectacular but was the customer service to me that was really incredible
He even let me his jacket because at some point it was cold and rainy and that help a lot
Highly recommend Iby and this company

Perfect for solo travellers or small groups to see the island and incredible wild Australian animals - This trip was incredible and was the perfect length. The group size was great, as it was kept small enough to keep the group together.
This trip was a great opportunity to see some incredible wild Australian animals - we saw Kangaroos, Koalas, Manta Rays and Turtles along with so many different birds. The views on the island were incredible and the time spent on the beach to relax was just the right length.
It rained a little on our day, but there were ponchos provided and it didn’t dampen the day as the guide would have changed the order of our day or some of the locations depending on the weather.
I’d absolutely recommend this trip for solo travellers or small groups to get out of the city and see the island’s highlights.

Ideal tour guide and lots of wildlife - What an amazing trip! Very nice tour guide, who gave you the time to enjoy the views, but was constantly looking for wildlife himself (which we saw a lot!). Certainly worth it and I strongly recommend it. I loved my day day at Straddie.

Adventurous yet VERY relaxing and scenic - Ivy was awesome. He provided the exact experience I was hoping for- informative, relaxed but still adventurous, and extremely considerate. An incredible experience to see kangaroos, koalas, pelicans, manta rays, turtles, and dolphins in the wild and to get to be by the ocean all day. This was my last day in Australia and it was a great finale.
