Great Barrier Reef Travel Agents & Reviews

Penny from the travel agency was an incredible travel planner.  Our travel planning was a bit out of the ordinary, primarily because our original travel plans had to be postponed due to visa delays...after we had already fully booked the trip.  Penny planned an amazing initial itinerary, based on careful consideration of our strongest interests and preferences.  When that original itinerary had to be rescheduled, Penny did not miss a beat...she was able to largely preserve our initial (and ideal) itinerary, but also went to great lengths to ensure our rescheduling costs were kept to a minimum.  When we were finally able to take our long-awaited trip to Australia, we were not disappointed.  The trip, and itinerary, exceeded our expectations.  We can't thank Penny, and the travel agency, enough for sticking with us throughout a challenging travel planning event, and for delivering an amazing trip that we will never forget.

I had the journey of my life and truly enjoyed every minute of it!

Overall, David and the team prepared a fantastic month long journey through Australia and New Zealand!  We loved every minute of it.  David was excellent in listening to what we wanted to do, and what we did not want to do...and crafted a trip accordingly.  Over the course of our trip we had a few mishaps (cancelled flights and a cancellation by one of our tour guides) but David and team were monitoring and kept things moving.I would definitely recommend the travel agency again for their responsiveness and openness to orchestrating the trip you desire!

This was an excellent company to work with. We would recommend to all.  However I want to preface this review by stating that this trip was planned back in Jan. of 2020, prior to the Chinese virus disaster, and that this trip was postponed in March 2020 for 3 consecutive years. Our original travel planner left the company, and a new one was installed to carry on this trip to completion, (she did a great job).  The goal of our trip was based on cultural aspects and the people of the countries visited.  Despite setbacks, all and all this was a good trip.   Of course, there were several instances beyond everyone’s control that caused this trip to be less than stellar.  Weather (pollution). We didn't see the sun for 30+ days, and changes due to the Chinese virus. The explanation of events and itinerary were far more glorious than received.  Not bad, but different.  But all in all it was a great trip nonetheless. Yes we would recommend to all.  

  Kate at the travel agency was very helpful in helping us plan our trip to NZ.  She listened carefully to our requests and concerns and responded with new ideas when necessary.  She was especially helpful when we had to change a few days of the trip due to the cyclone that hit the North Island. 

The trip was fun and exciting and went very well.  The guides chosen were very knowledgeable and attentive.  Logistics were good as well.  Suzie and the team were all very attentive. 

I couldn’t have been more happy with our trip and the experience with the travel agency and Sarah specifically. She was amazing! She asked what our priorities were and what our budget was and I told her what activities were most important to us and she planned us the most incredible vacation of a lifetime! Our family will remember this trip for the rest of our lives! It was so much fun and everything weren’t so much more smoothly because of Sarah’s help. She made our life so much easier and made our vacation preparations so much easier! We will use her again and hope many others will as well. Our hotels were wonderful, our activities were fantastic, and our rental cars and itinerary were perfect!!Thank you for making this vacation so special for our family! You were absolutely the best to work with!

Karen is a superb travel planner and most importantly human being.  She listened well to the needs of my husband and I as she planned our trip and provided an experience that surpassed our expectations. There was a perfect mix of time on our own where we could simply explore and immersion into the history and culture of New Zealand.   A very telling fact that kept reoccurring was the high esteem her guides held for her and their comments as to her attention to detail.   Karen also personalized the trip once we arrived in New Zealand.   She stayed in phone contact with us, took us on a hike in Nelson and personally picked us up and returned us to the airport. My family has traveled throughout the world on very high-end tours and have never had the personal relationship and experience that Karen offered.  The tour guides she chose for us were in and of themselves interesting, and intelligent ambassadors for the area the area and region we were exploring.   They were an excellent reflection of Karens values and attention to detail.   Karen's choice of accomadation was also excellent.   I give her and  her team the highest marks!Janet
