- AAnonymous· January 4th, 2025The best experience of my life. This was my first tour I had ever done and it certainly will not be my last with the ultimate company. I had Sam P as my tour leader, he made the whole experience so easy and I felt relaxed the whole time. Not only did he excel at the expectations of his job but he also became a friend during this time. He looked after all of us from the moment we met until when we said our goodbyes. He made this tour group into a family and created memories for all of us that I’m sure we will carry with us forever. Of course there were some incidents, that were no fault of Sam’s including delayed grey hounds. One in particular causing people who were participating in the scenic flight Overall, the tour was a success in everyShow moreTrip date: December 2024

- EErika· March 14th, 2024I enjoyed some of the activities, like kayaking in byron bay and jet skiing in airlie beach. However, the focus of the tour was very much on partying, so you should bear this in mind when booking. I would have liked to learn more about the culture and history. The communication with the tour operator was also not very good. I received several emails with conflicting start times which was confusing. The Sydned add-on is absolutely not recommended. You are shown where the nearest supermarket etc is and then during the city tour you have to walk to the Opera House...and this was repeated again at the start of the actual trip.Show moreTrip date: July 2023
- AMAdam· November 14th, 2023Unfortunately our tour guide Marie made the trip frustrating and annoying for us as a group. Marie would leave information needed for next day very late and then blame ultimate for not giving her the correct information. Decided to leave the zoo early because she had seen what she had wanted to see which then left me having to make my own way back as she said she can’t give my train ticket to me. Marie had asked if anyone would like to go dolphin feeding which I was very keen for so expecting that I would be going I asked the night before what time shall we be ready which Marie replied saying there was not enough people to be able to go but hadn’t told us any of this so we had no time to plan and make our own way there. Marie was only interested in getting drunk saying we you can sleep when your dead when we was tired and making us feel bad about not going out. Marie would always be hard to speak to about anything for example one message she replied saying she was too busy to sort something out for us. Every time we had a question she barely knew the answers and not helping us at all. One night Marie said it was ultimate fault for all of this as they are not helping her enough on her first tour. Marie was also over heard talking about the group and certain individuals to the crew from the whit Sundays which is very unprofessional. A few people wrote to ultimate about all this but received a very basic reply saying they will look into it for training which doesn’t really help us. We spent a lot of money on this trip and we feel let down I will be advising people not to pick ultimate in the future and I know a lot of people agreeShow moreTrip date: November 2023

Traveler•Written December 2025Would this be allowed to visit people along the coast - this would most likely be in Sydney if possible?
- Ultimate TravelOperator•Written December 2025
With this 3 week tour, you don't spend any time in Sydney. You will head up the coast on day 1 of the tour. We have the option of a Sydney Add on, which is an extra 3 days in Sydney (Sunday - Wednesday). This would include a city walk and a harbour cruise. If you wanted to visit people along the coast that would be ok but you wont have a massive amount of free time, the 3 week trip is packed with activities to make the most of your time on the Coast.
