Unique Experience - We had an amazing day with Mark. I was impressed with his communication and the fact that we did everything that he said we would do. I have found that many tour operators promise something and then change it unbeknownst to you. Mark is knowledgeable about Australian history and its biodiversity. We saw many different animals that we NEVER would have found else where or on our own including an unique kangaroo experience. Not only were we off the beaten path for these experiences, but Mark also took great pictures of our day with his state of the art camera that he promptly emailed me after the tour. It was an unforgettable day that every one should try.

The Best Tour - Our tour with Mark was an absolutely amazing day, from petting Teddy the Koala, to seeing hundreds of Eastern Grey kangaroos, Mareeba Rock wallabies, SO many different kinds of birds, the amazing Curtain Fig tree, all while listening to Mark's wonderful descriptions of wildlife in Australia and many personal stories. I highly recommend Blue Adventures, you won't be disappointed.

Premier Aussie wildlife tour, Blue Dive - Mark is an excellent guide and gracious host. He took us to see Rock Wallabys, gave us grass pellets to feed them out of our hands. Very cute, furry, gentle critters. We saw fire kite (Hawks) and flying foxes ( fruit bats). Looked for the elusive platypus is muddy River. No joy. Saw hundreds of kangaroos, some w joeys in their pouch and hopping kangaroos - moving fast! Had a delightful lunch at seven sisters, Crater lake. Heard stories about aborigines, their use of fire farming to clear land and drive Wallabys to capture n eat. I really wanted to see crocodiles but the ride was too high and none were sunning on the river banks. If you want a premier, private tour to experience Aussie wildlife, Mark, Blue Dive is your guy.

Great experience! - We just got back from Australia. Our day with Mark Fraenkel was awesome. He got us up close to kangaroos and we fed Rock-wallabies. Mark shared photos and videos he took with us. It was a day well-spent on our trip. Thanks, Mark!

Informative, friendly, relaxed tour that felt like visiting with a good (and knowledgeable) friend. - Mark picked us up at our hotel and drove us up to the Daintree Rainforest. The car was clean, comfortable, and air conditioned. We stopped along the way to get a coffee, take in the views, and talk about the indigenous people of the area. As we drove, Mark provided interesting facts about the rainforest and the interrelationship with the Great Barrier Reef (where we had gone SCUBA diving the two days before). It was informative, relaxed, and friendly. We went to an amazing little restaurant on a lake for lunch that had excellent food, service, and views. The wallabies and kangaroos were my favorite part and I learned so much about them, flying foxes, kookaburras, and even cool golden orb spiders! Don't miss this day-long tour if you happen to be in the Port Douglas, QLD area!

Not to be missed tour. - Chrissy was super informative and such a pleasure to be with. It was more like going with a knowledgeable friend than a tour guide. We saw and fed wallerbys, amazing walks and sights you should not miss when here.

Amazing Day of Wildlife! - We had the most incredible day. The wildlife viewing was amazing and the surrounding area was so beautiful. It was so special to see kangaroos and wallabies about. We went on a great boat tour by the tea house and heard all about the local history of the region. I’d highly recommend this tour!
