Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

This full-day Gold Coast adventure is by far our favorite and most popular experience in Southeast Queensland! Together with your local guide, you’ll explore the Gold Coast Beach and Hinterland areas, complete with guided walks, great views and a tasty food stop.
We’ll start our stunning nature walk with some scenic views, and a guided kangaroo and koala viewing excursion. We’ll stop for morning tea at a lookout before heading off for more wildlife-spotting along 4WD tracks amongst a forest of Eucalyptus trees.
We’ll continue with a rainforest walk to Curtis Falls in Tamborine National Park. The Tamborine escarpment is home to 85% of all the animal species found in the City of Gold Coast area, making it one of the best places to see native creatures in the wild. Be sure to bring your bathing suit, as we may be able to go swimming, weather permitting.
We’ll stop to enjoy a homemade lunch at a spot that offers a view of both the countryside and the city skyline.
From the land to the sky, we’ll take a fully guided treetop walk at O’Reillys Canopy, and go bird watching at Lamington National Park, which is part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage area, and includes the most extensive areas of subtropical rainforest in the world.
At the end of your tour, we’ll return you to your hotel or other drop-off point of your choice (please arrange with us the day prior to your tour if you’d like an alternate drop-off than your hotel).
