School Camping on Moreton Island

Moreton Island

Fraser Island


Hey Rob,

Just wanted to send a big THANK YOU for the weekend camping trip you guys put together. Students had a really good time, it was very chilled and friendly vibe throughout the tour. Clayton, Wayne and Dave were very patient with the kids and students liked the fact that we had plenty of time to enjoy in each stop and activity. You can tell they are all people’s persons and enjoyed what they do. Cookies and marshmallows at night were a really big hit, I’ve done it before in other trips and is a great impact on clients with very little money J so that was great. Wayne pumped up the BBQ with some caramelized onion and mushrooms which was really nice. Overall I think it was a very good experience, as a tourism professional I can see a few things where there could be room for improvement, like some food, eg. Sandwiches lunch could be a bit more generous. And guides could give a bit more commentary/information during the tour, since there was some dead time that could be used in your advantage.

But like I said, it was really enjoyable, very relaxed, and the guys were very helpful. I will definitely continue to promote this trip and I’ve been thinking on looking for the opportunity to do a Fraser Island trip sometime. Just hope that the numbers at the school work out.

Regards,

Jack
