Fun and memorable
Joel's Glasshouse Mountains tour is a wonderful way to really get to know this beautiful region. Joel is a brilliant guide — his passion and knowledge about the history, geology, plants, and animals keeps you hooked the whole time. The ever-changing countryside views from the cosy bus are stunning, and the lunch was great! Mary Cairncross Reserve is a real highlight, made even better by Joel's deep familiarity with the ecosystem and its birds, animals, and plants. Inspiring stuff — highly recommended! - SSaltyBoots_L
