May 18,2023I had a wonderful experience at the Yarra Valley with some wonderful girls. We all had a great time with wine tastings, high tea, great food and company. Thank you Cocky Guides for helping us have a fabulous weekend.

May 12,2023so many highlights: sing a longs on the island bus, the funny and professional Moulin Rogue theatre restaurant show, swimming in the pristine waters of Radical Bay and the pop up Asian restaurant serving yummy home cooked meals. The best bit was meeting like minded travellers so you can share the fun and enjoy the meal times together. I look forward to my next trip with Cocky Guides.

May 04,2023I have always wanted to visit the Blue Mountains and Cocky Guides enabled me to do this. we reached the mountains in a comfortable coach with an experienced driver, who also assisted us with support and guidance. we had a delicious and healthy lunch in a park by a lake. not long after, we strolled through a lush rainforest. a serene and calming experience. exactly what we needed because very soon we were assisted on to the carriage that would take us up the steepest railway in the world. exhilarating! we then went on a cable car very high over the canopy of the rainforest. in the sunlight, I was able to see the Three Sisters which are extinct volcanoes. in Katoomba, there was a variety of shops with something to please everyone. A large variety of icecream, home-made chocolates, and the Moon Tree shop which was filled with fragrant, candles, moisturises, bathroom products. This wonderful day was completed while we sat on top of Echo point at sunset. Buck is an excellent guide and every trip with Cocky Guides is a good one.

Dec 30,2022the tour was well organised. the tour guide was very thoughtful giving people plenty of time at each location, as well as giving plenty of notice a bout moving on to the next location. the tour was very immersive.

Dec 29,2022Wonderful day to get out and about in a relaxed and safe atmosphere with the very talented and experienced Buck and Dutchy duo, along with our lovely foodie guide telling us all about the history of Chinatown and the foods we were eating. Even the whacky pop up tinseltown bar was an experience in itself which included going the wrong way to get there. Cocky Guides is always an adventure.

Sep 22,2022Excelent experience on a personal night and day tour in the Blue Mountains. Our guide gave us an authentic experience of eating chocolate, touching tactile statues, feeling various trees and plants, hearing birds, reading braille signs and going on tactile rides at the Scenic World. We were cared for expertly and our every needs were catered for. I'd highly recommend Cocky Guides for any guided tour.

Sep 14,2022this event was brilliantly organised, with informative speakers, great activities, and awesome social connections with both regular and new travellers to the cocky guides family. as i always feel safe, included, and able to be my genuine self on these trips, i really do feel like cocky guides and its travellers really are a large boisterous but caring family! i attended the aboriginal experience with tim, and went to the pearl farm, which was also marvelous. two things i really enjoy are connecting with the australian bush, learning first nations culture, and pearls-oh, that’s maybe three …! having known buck and most of the team from very early days of cocky guides, i am so proud of the passion and genuine love these leaders have for what they do, and of course, you will see me coming back time and again. thanks buck, donna, maree, kelly, dutchie, michelle, jordan, pete, tim and nick for a great conference-sorry if i forgot to mention any other volunteers’ names!

Jun 09,2022I found the trip very well researched. The support I received was excellent. The restaurants and cafes were very delicious with lots of choice. I feel trip should be a bit longer to give more time to experience all the sights offered. I would recommend Cockie Guides.

Apr 20,2022They took care of everything and made sure I got to do and see all I wanted. I recently had a great time and saw why my other friends who go on these excursions have a good time.

Mar 24,2022Wow, action and adventure to the max! Our recent trip to Tasmania took us from one side of the Apple isle to the other enjoying every delight along the way. We experienced the peaks of Cradle Mountain wilderness park with its glorious waterfalls, mountain lakes and historic homes to the wilderness of the pristine Franklin Gorge on our luxury cruiser. This immersive trip has been an adventure of a lifetime with the best of friends. I loved every minute of our time together 👍🏻
