We had 10 people on this tour in her van, we were all very comfortable with frequent stops including bathroom breaks.
Our guide was incredible—expertly sharing insights on the local birdlife and plants while leadings us to stunning hidden beaches. She kept the group setting intimate, provided a lovely snack after a scenic walk on a beach where we felt like the only visitors! We never felt rushed and truly appreciated the personalized attention. Highly recommended for an authentic coastal experience!
The waterfall is exceptional.
Little snack was provided as well, cookies banana bread grapes and juice.
the Kangaroos. Cherene communicates excellently in arranging, preparing and conducting her tour. She drives perfectly, is safety conscious, informative, helpful with an awesome, friendly personality. BTW she is an EXCELLENT photographer as well.
Highly recommend Cherene and her agency. Doesn't get any better. Almost forgot, TERRIFIC sense of humor. Thanks a million Cherene for a great day.

She even went twice to find a customer who could not find the joining point while also ring the person's phone twice.
This is an amazing part of the world and please book to get the the full experience plus Cherene ensured that we were back in time for the cruises tender.
Park bushwalk and cedar creek falls tour and wow! Swimming in the creek was so refreshing and beautiful. Cherene is a great tour guide, keeps the energy up with her enthusiasm! Highly recommend!
wonderfull bush walk. highly recommended
We arrived just in time for sunrise on a cloudy morning and were greeted by kangaroos and wallabies, some with joeys nestled in their pouches, peacefully roaming the beach. The photos came out brilliantly. Cherene shared interesting insights throughout the morning, striking a perfect balance between informative and relaxed.
The ranger ensured respectful wildlife viewing, reminding everyone to keep their distance and switch off camera flashes to avoid startling the animals. Afterward, we had the option to walk up to the lookout or simply enjoy more time with the kangaroos on the beach.
Breakfast was a lovely way to wrap up the morning. With just eight of us on the tour, it felt personal — and the cost was more than justified by the experience. This tour would suit anyone who loves kangaroos.
Thank you, Cherene! Your energy, warmth, and love for what you do shine through every detail. This tour was so much more than I expected, and I’d recommend it to absolutely anyone visiting Airlie Beach and surroundings, there's so much more to see!!!
We had the best day, really looked after and absolutely loved it!
Thank you Driftwood Tours and Cherene x
Not only is Cherene knowledgeable and authentic, but she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and that we learnt about the history, nature and the area.
She had the car all set up with blankets and pillows for the ride to the national park (which was early to make it there in time for sunrise) making us feel very comfortable for a little snooze on the way there, and we had a great breakfast set up after the sunrise. As a cherry on top we also did a beautiful hike to a viewpoint after breakfast, and stop at local bakery to buy some pastries on the way back to Airlie.
Highly recommend Cherene’s Driftwood Tours, an incredible independent tour operator if you’re staying in Airlie Beach.
Charlene is a fantastic driver & guide who took us all over Airlie & Shute Harbour. The tour was informative and helpful as we were able to work out restaurants etc to visit. She took us to great private & public viewing points so we could admire the beauty of this special place.
Charlene always went out of her way to make sure we thoroughly enjoyed our experience!
Really had a blast - and am sure all their other tours are equally fun!
I even licked an ant !!
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone as she was so amazing
We wanted to bring her back to Canada
