Cherene Poidevin

Working in the outdoor recreation and tourism industry for over 30 years, running my own tours was a distant dream till I realized if I can give my best to others why can’t I give the best to myself.  Having a natural curiosity and love of learning about the landscape, flora, fauna, cultural history, fun facts and sharing them with people seemed like a perfect fit. With a passion for travel, learning cultures and outdoors, I know the value of small personal tours. Every day is someone’s first day experiencing in this particular landscape and that keeps it exciting. I pride myself on my genuine passion for guiding and always aim to give high quality experiences to guests.
My aim is to bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep-rooted enthusiasm for sharing the Whitsundays wonders. I want to be curating bespoke adventures tailored to your interests and desires with a smile and fun.
Backed by years of experience and a commitment to excellence, I am earning a reputation for delivering unparalleled service and creating moments that linger in the hearts and minds of our guests. Whether you’re a seasoned traveller or embarking on your very first journey, my personalized approach ensures that every step of your exploration is nothing short of extraordinary.

Feedback from you

We did 5 trips with Cherene at Driftwood Tours. I cannot recommend Cherene highly enough. Cherene is absolutely amazing as a tour guide. Knowledgeable, informative, friendly, attentive and flexible. The tours were all great showing us different aspects of the Whitsundays.

Amazing trip! If you do not have a lot of time- Cherene takes you to secret places – best lookouts, great commentary – excellent value. We came from the cruise ship and just found this beautiful local tour operator. Wonderful experience. Thank you. Loved my beer at the Northerlies – super.

We did the Bowen Beach tour and it was fabulous. Great locations, Greys Bay, Murray Bay, Horseshoe Bay, Flagstaff Hill. Cherene is a wealth of knowledge, lovely and friendly, makes you feel at ease.
