I thoroughly enjoyed the Iconic Queensland tour. The variety of walks was excellent and suited my fitness level perfectly, with beautiful scenery throughout. The accommodation was also excellent, with the eco huts being a particular highlight. We experienced some wonderful dining, and I really enjoyed the overall balance of the tour, with a great mix of walking, nature, local experiences and time to relax. Our guide’s knowledge of the natural environment added greatly to the experience and gave me a deeper appreciation of the places we visited. It was a very enjoyable and well-organised tour.

A wonderful ten days with new friends. A mix of interesting people, walking in varied mountain and coastal landscapes, some walks being more of a stroll while others more challenging but all in interesting natural landscapes - mountains, coastal treasures and coral reef. Meals and individual accommodation were all first class while our guide Luke was very knowledgeable, organized and caring. Throw in a few local activities, history and talks all making for a great, stress free and wonderful break, surpassing prior expectation.

My husband and I went on a private guided hike with Luke when we were on holiday visiting the Gold Coast from Melbourne. We run our own business, so we wanted an experience where we could "switch off" from the daily grind and didn't have to do any of the thinking! Luke was warm, friendly and we immediately felt like we had known him for ages! He was really knowledgeable about the local area and nature and took us on an awesome hike around the Lamington National Park. He even had a coffee for us and some homemade treats for the halfway stop off. I would highly recommend Park Tours to anyone who wants a personalised experience, someone who knows the area inside out and someone who is just a genuinely good bloke!

I am new to the world of escorted group walking adventures - and I’m hooked! My 8 days with Luke was above and beyond my expectations. A delicious mix of magical walks, interesting excursions, and scrumptious food; all delicately melded by Luke. I appreciated the pre-trip info presentation and timing, the mix of walks and touristy activities, the choice of restaurants interspersed with home meals, and the unpretentious but comfy accommodation. The icing on the cake was our ‘ambassador’ Luke. His immense knowledge bank was shared in snippets with a dressing of humour. All in all, an indelible experience imprinted upon me forever!

The super tour guides worked hard to ensure everyone on the tour had a wonderful experience. Quality accommodation, and the meals provided were superb. Each day had its own highlights, with a delightful mix of walking, learning about the local area, and engaging with the local people. The wildlife, flora, ancient majestic Bunya pines, bird life, colourful fungi, the caves of Cania gorge and the cruise to Lady Musgrave Island were amazing. The gorges, waterfalls, scenic reserves, rock pools, mountains, and the sacred site of Ban Ban Springs were truly inspiring.  I highly recommend the Bunya Mountains to Bundaberg tour!

After experiencing both our 3-day Hinterland and 4-day Girraween tours, one guest highlighted the perfect harmony between adventure and comfort. They were particularly moved by the 'spectacular landscapes' and the high standard of our accommodation and meals. A special shout-out went to Lisa, Luke, and Amy for their expert knowledge and the personalised care that made the trip truly unforgettable.
