“This tour was everything we hoped it would be. Tackling creek crossings, discovering hidden places of interest and history, beaches and beautiful scenery, and of course, reaching the tip of Cape York.
The trip was challenging at times, but we knew we were in good hands with our fantastic tour guides Brett and Molly. They went above and beyond, especially on the OTT creek crossings to ensure we took the best route in each case.
The camps sites we stayed at were varied and good. There were also many opportunities to eat out, if you wanted to. We also found there to be plenty of fuel all the way up. Great friendships were formed sitting around the camps and they really made the trip enjoyable.
Pleased that we took the additional tour to Thursday Island only tour and later had lunch at the Grand Hotel with water view.
It was a well-paced tour, and we loved the day off to swim at Elliot Falls and look around Cooktown.
Definitely recommend this tour and tour guides Brett and Molly.”

“It was awesome!!! Had the best time, not rushed and was very relaxed, we had Brett and Molly as our guides , Brett is very articulate about the history of the area, Molly is a fanatic about wildlife and boy did we learn about Cape York.
I would highly recommend as it is geared towards having a great time and not so much as running a schedule…
Yes, spend the money with Tagalong tours Australia, can’t go wrong…just Brilliant!!!”

“What I liked about this trip is that we didn’t rush up to The Tip and back but took the time to really explore Cape York and take the boat to Thursday Island. The trip up the Telegraph Track was very challenging especially as I was towing a Camper Trailer but our guide got us through all the water crossings safely. Finally had a great group of people to travel with…6 4WDs …very friendly ending up as great friends. Highly recommended.”

“We went to the Tip of Cape York! The trip was amazing, a great itinerary. John our guide is so knowledgeable about everything relevant from cars to 4W driving, to history, geography etc of the Cape & beyond. The blurb states the group will be “friends for life” and I think in our case that’s true. We certainly shared some ups & downs together. John will retire soon, don’t leave it too late!”

“This trip was to Cape York but so much more than just that destination. We visited historical sites, saw crocs, did some fun 4WD challenges and checked for vent snakes. John (Dutchie) led us and taught us so much. His knowledge is as good as his jokes are bad. Highly recommended!“
