BUCKET LIST WORTHY!!!

Such an exhilarating experience. The patches of rain and thunder only added to the breathtaking atmosphere created by the native forest and the ethereal birdsong. Our guides, Ash, Paul and Will, made even the safety briefings enjoyable, and the lighthearted banter throughout the 3 1/2 hour adventure set a relaxed atmosphere which made it feel like you were with a group of friends instead of strangers. I found this whole experience to be great value for money, especially as they provided complimentary photos (which are usually very costly), coupled with the fact that a portion of our ticket price went towards the conservation of the forest and wildlife, of which we were privileged to get up close and personal with a few. I would recommend this to everyone, and can't wait to do it again!

Cheers for the review Nadine!! It sounds like you had an absolutely phenomenal experience out in our virgin native forest! It's great to hear you had such a fun time with Ash, Paul and Will, I'm sure you would have learned heaps about conservation and our forest from these three, and possibly some terrible dad jokes too! Thanks for coming along :)
