Trek the Cradle Mountain Overland Track

Andrea · Traveled January 2024
The local operator Tasmanian Hikes, Senna -the owner- and the guides -Louie and Josh- went above and beyond to make the 6 days trekking in the Overland Track a positive experience in every single way. Great organisation and combination of professionalism & friendliness. Senna provided very sound and helpful advice about the right gear to pack and prepared delicious, healthy and nutritious food to keep your energy going on the track. Josh and Louie are experienced and knowledgeable guides and have great group leadership skills. I cannot fault Tasmanian Hikes! Well done Intrepid for partnering with them.

Trek the Cradle Mountain Overland Track

Joanne · Traveled January 2024
The craddle mt overland track was an awesome experience. Challenging, but beautiful. The tour guides Louie and Josh were wonderful, informative and extremely helpful. The weather wasn't kind the first day which is the hardest but improved the next day. A challenging walk but well worth the effort. Our group was amazing. Senna who organised all the food and pickups was wonderful. Had a brilliant time.

Melbourne to Kangaroo Island Adventure

Anita · Traveled January 2024
Great Ocean Road was one of the best tours I have done. Our leader - Simon, was very knowledgeable, experienced and enthusiastic. Everyday he done extra mile to ensure we all have best holidays ever. Unfortunately Kangarroo Island guide - was very opposite. Her lack of knowledge, experience and willingness to actually learn for us makes me wonder how much i actually have missed. If the group wasn’t such a amazing, I would definitely regret taking this trip.

Melbourne to Kangaroo Island Adventure

Marcella · Traveled January 2024
My husband and I took the South Australia six day tour from Me;bourne along the Great Ocean Road through the Grampians. We caught the train In Stawell to Adelaide to pick up our second five day tour to Kangaroo Island. Both groups were made up of people from around the world and ages from late 20"s to the early 70's who all shared a common thread for travel and adventure. We felt that we got to experience a variety of wildlide in their natural habitate. The tours with the park conservationist were informative. We were very pleased with ou sleeping accomodations and choices of food. The tours was a great way to get around, see, learn about Australia in a short amount of time without feeling rushed.
