My mum and I had an amazing time on our tour of Cape Hillsborough! Our tour guide, Cherene, was so witty, professional and knowledgeable! She shared so much information and fun facts with our group about plants, trees, animals and much more! She was also very accomodating and went the extra mile to make sure that everyone was enjoying themselves. This tour has been my absolute favorite! Thank you so much Driftwood Tours and Cherene for such an awesome time in Airlie Beach!
