Booking through Headout was easy and confirmation and digital tickets received almost immediately. The packs a lot into one day. Unforunatel due to weather conditions we were unable to visit the Blue Caves however another small island village was substituted. Also due to the weather conditions, the boat ride was rough...but again, not much the boat driver could do. We enjoyed the tour and the places we visited.

We booked this tour confirming it was a 6 hour tour. It turned out that we were booked to return too late to make it back to the cruise ship we were on, they refused to refund us but put us on another tour that took us to another island that wasn't nearly as nice as the one we were supposed to go on, plus it was only a 4 hour tour and we barely had time to snorkel. Very disappointing.

The experience was really fun and unique, we enjoyed driving the ATV alone and especially that Ranjit, our professional driver, took us on a 4x4 trip in the desert. Ranjit was professional, kind and caring.

Ride was very good but the video grapher was not good. I enjoyed ride all the way it was very adventurous. I'm upset with the video grapher and photographer they don't make any high-quality videos.

I found the experience lacking in several ways. First of all, I did not receive the coffee and ice cream as promised. While the staff was polite, they were not welcoming, which made us feel as if we overstayed our welcome. Additionally, we were promised video and photos, but the pictures were taken with the guide's iPhone, resulting in poor quality. We had to practically beg for them to take videos, which they initially told us were not included. They acted as if they were doing us a favor by taking the videos.

Worst Experience I ever had with Jet Ski Tour of Dubai - No Proffesional Guide - Not Even a Single Clear Picture "Not Visible the face" but mentioned [Free Photos and Videos] - No Cafe Treat as per mentioned. Note:- Headout is best in all Possible ways But the issues is with Local partners.

I booked an hour and Headout only booked an hour with Nemo Watersports. However, I only found this out after half an hour, when we were almost back at the harbor. The tour guide shows me the reservation for Headout. The live chat just sent me the order again and told me to clarify it on the spot. As a gesture of goodwill, Nemo watersports gave me an extra 1 hour because we wouldn't have made it to Atlantis in the next half hour of the "booked" tour and I insisted on it. The headout booking and its behavior is simply very dissatisfying.

Great but need better details about getting there. Google advised getting off at a station Ang Mo Kio and taking public bus. This was a 40 minute journey. We should have stayed on the MRT until Khatib and got a special Zoo bus, cost $2.50 one way and took about 15 minutes

Brisbane/Gold Coast

Whether you opt for pickups from Brisbane City or Surfers' Paradise or choose to drive to the port on your own, this is where your adventure starts.

With comfortable seating, air-conditioning, and an onboard café, the cruise is the perfect start to your day.

Sink your toes into soft sand, soak up the sun, and marvel at the iconic Tangalooma Wrecks just offshore—a perfect start to your island adventure. Pack a quick-dry towel—handy for both sunbathing and spontaneous swims.

Highlights

1. Guided snorkeling

Dive in with a pro guide, spot turtles, dolphins, and vibrant coral, and discover why this is one of Queensland’s top snorkeling sites. Ask your guide about the best spots to see turtles—they know all the local hangouts.

2. Transparent kayaking

The “Tough Bus” is custom-built for off-road adventures, and Moreton's 4WD tours have been featured on Top Gear Australia. Sit near the front for the smoothest ride and the best views of the tracks ahead.

The Labyrinth Blackwater rafting experience has been one of the highlights during our NZ holiday. Our guide was amazing, she was knowledgeable, kind and fun to be with. The glo worms were like twinkling starlight as we floated under them. The booking and ticketing was a breeze. Will definitely be recommending to friends.

Ticketing ahead of time was easy and everything ran smoothly. The adventure itself was over the top fun because it's such a unique experience and more than a little exciting. We had two great gals Hailey and Grace as our fearless leaders and they kept the jokes coming and we all felt confident following their instructions -even when they had us flinging ourselves backwards over a waterfall. What's not to love?? We had the A Team ! Highly recommend this trip - do it while you can.

I'm not a boat person, but felt quite at ease on the whale boat. The commentator was very informative. We didn't get to see a whale but with the 80% back , I was more than happy just seeing dolphins, albatross and sealions frolicking. It was very easy to book online through Headout and they were very accommodating arranging the refund as well.

The whale watching cruise was very good. The staff were helpful. The only disappointment we had was we thought our booking was direct with the Whale watch company from the website , We were to get 10% off our cruise as we belong to the Top 10 holiday, group only to find out , that head was their partner group.

The boat is good. A few good jokes we're made. I wish there was more information about both the whales and other marine life given. I thought the infographic with the sky towers too show depth was amazing haha
