Doug went above and beyond for the entire group at every opportunity and was the best tour guide we gave experienced in australia and likely anywhere we have been previously. he was friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. all the activities and days were well organised and allowed us to push ourselves without feeling unsafe and under pressure. Can't say thanks enough to Doug for the effort put in from himself as he most definitely made the trip as amazing as it was for us. All activities were what we were looking for and we enjoyed every day and will take this away with us as one of the best experiences of australia.
