Fabulous experience all around! I had booked this climb so I could have some special bonding time with my 13 year old son. Needless to say he was not overly excited as I discussed with him what I had planned! This changed somewhat as we were introduced to our guide, changed into our climbing gear and commenced our tour. Our guide provided a great, lighthearted and informative introduction to the history of both the bridge and Brisbane city. Well done!

Loved the trip it was amazing. Only comment I would make is, the dolphin feeding was at 6.30pm and our trip booked was returning at 4pm so we had to pay extra and change the time we can back. This was definitely the highlight off our trip, the dolphins were amazing. Maybe you should offer the two trips so people have a choice.

The eco-tour guides were great, the dinner amazing. I would not have ordered kangaroo or crocodile, but they were on the buffet line, and I liked them both–and no, they don’t taste like chicken. I do not consume alcohol, but for those who do, the wine flowed freely–that made a good impression because I hate stinginess. How cool is that to have seen Uluru with waterfalls and watch the sunset on Kata Tjuta through a clouded sky and observe 5 sets of rain areas on 180 degree horizon. The color changes on Uluru were not noticeable, but the textures in the monolith could be observed while rain and mist rolled over the top of it. Absolutely wonderful!!! What an adventure! The clouds allowed the stars to peek out here and there during the Sounds of Silence dinner, so we were able to see the Southern Cross and Orion’s Belt and that was even okay–again, not perfect, but the tours were everything I hoped for and more.
