Tell him Chevy Chase sent you.Posted on Google Suvalaxmi SenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gary was an exceptionally humble, polite, and true gentleman of a tour guide. He went out of his way to ensure that our entire tour was comfortable, seamless, and truly enjoyable. We are grateful to have met him and to have experienced some of the most beautiful sightseeing spots and attractions around Brisbane and the Gold Coast through his guidance. He was a wonderful host—kind, patient, and genuinely engaging. We loved interacting with him, sharing our experiences, and learning so much along the way. His warmth and sincerity made the journey even more special. We wish Gary a very successful year ahead and many more wonderful journeys to come. Before I forget, I must mention how incredibly thoughtful he was to offer us a complimentary ride to the airport on our day of departure. It’s gestures like these that reflect a truly kind heart. Sometimes, the least we can do for such people is respect them, listen to them, and acknowledge their goodness. Thank you, Gary. We truly loved spending time with you.Posted on Google Jayden AllenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best tour I or my family has ever had!!

Gary is an amazing guide. He knows the city so well and thanks to his expertise our group of 8 was able to tackle everything on our list in a very short time!

At Adventure Day Trips, “it’s how you feel that counts” — and that extends to how we care for the places, wildlife, cultures and communities we share with our guests. As a locally owned, road-based tour operator, we’re committed to running our private day tours across Brisbane and South East Queensland as responsibly as we can, and we’re pursuing Ecotourism Australia certification as part of that commitment. When you travel with us, you’re choosing an operator who takes that responsibility seriously.

Caring for the environment.
We comply with all relevant environmental laws and park regulations, and we work to leave the places we visit just as we found them. We keep to designated paths, follow each site’s rules, and deliver our wildlife experiences through accredited sanctuaries such as Lone Pine Sanctuary, Australia Zoo and Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. We also reduce, reuse and recycle, favour minimal and reusable packaging, encourage reusable water bottles, and use only low-tox, biodegradable cleaning products.

Acting on climate change.
Vehicle fuel is our largest environmental impact, so reducing emissions is central to how we operate. We plan routes efficiently, drive economically, keep our vehicles well serviced, and run a hybrid vehicle in our fleet — with plans to add more low-emission vehicles as we renew it. Our door-to-door service also cuts the separate travel our guests would otherwise make. In the office we keep energy use low and run paperless systems for bookings, accounts and marketing. We’re also working towards measuring our annual carbon footprint, moving to renewable (GreenPower) electricity, and introducing carbon-offset options.

Respecting culture and supporting community
We respect that First Nations cultural stories belong to their Traditional Owners, so rather than interpreting Country ourselves, we take guests to cultural institutions and museums where culture is shared by its custodians. We support our local community and industry through the CEO Sleepout and our memberships of the Queensland Tourism Industry Council and we showcase local attractions, suppliers and operators on our tours, supporting the businesses and people who make our region special.
