Welcome to Driftwood Tours, where passion meets expertise in crafting unforgettable journeys. I’m Cherene Poidevin – sole owner and operator, an experienced and accredited guide with a fervent love for exploration and boutique service. My company is dedicated to providing immersive and authentic experiences unlike any other in the Whitsundays.
Meet Cherene
Working in the outdoor recreation and tourism industry for over 30 years, running my tours was a distant dream till I realised that 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 the outdoors, I know the value of small personal tours. Every day is someone’s first day experiencing 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. I aim 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 personalised approach ensures that every step of your exploration is nothing short of extraordinary.
