If you are looking for a good and honest travel advice go there! Kevin is super knowledgeable of all the tours and highlights in Queensland and can give you not only tour/ company recommendations, but also on how to do trips best without guides.As a result, he helped us plan our next days and adviced us on picking the tours that are right for us. As we felt very well informed and not pressured into buying any tour, we checked his recommendations ourselves and went back to book with him.

Kevin booked my Whitsunday’s tour with Ocean Rafting and he was fabulous! Super friendly and made time to explain the different tours and what they offer before recommending a one to fit my budget/plans. So knowledgeable about all of the different activities each tour can offer because he’d done most of the tours himself and so was based on his own experiences. Would 10/10 recommend booking any tours with Kevin, he‘ll give you honest advice and takes all the stress out of booking yourself!

Wonderful service. We came running in just before they closed. Lisa was more than accommodating, taking time to help us and assuring us that she can stay until we have purchased all we needed and not to rush. They made sure we had everything we needed and gave us some very useful tips for our tour the next day. Highly recommend.

We had the best holiday in 1770 thanks to Lisa and her fantastic recommendations. She was honest and upfront and really easy to chat to. Lisa booked us on to the Lady Elliot Island day trip that included an unbelievable plane ride across to the island over Lady Musgrave and incredible snorkelling on the reef. Just amazing.

My daughter & I had the best day! The weather was so perfect. I didn't know what to expect but the Larc was better than I imagined. I was quite nervous going up the pathway to the lighthouse, the Skipper was very competent in driving us up safely. The history of the Lighthouse was very informative I really liked the house and all the interesting information & how well it is maintained. Morning tea and lunch was very yummy the ANZAC biscuits & Billy tea were really great!. I was happy that I attemped sandboarding only did the small hill it was such fun. I would have really liked to have gone for a swim but the tide was out. The commentary of the birds, trees & creeks by the host was quite informative & somewhat humorous I will definitely recommend the Larc to my family & friends. Thank you for the memories I will share with my daughter

Had the best time on Fraser Island , this crew know their stuff. we are a little older and didn't want the party vibe ..they suggested the best tour that suited us.Thanks we will be telling our friends.

I cannot recommend Kevin at travel bugs highly enough, everything from my initial enquiry, to helping suggest some of the best trips I have ever done, the over night trip on SV Whitehaven was certainly a highlight of my trip! All my communication was done through email as I was in England at the time but it was a pleasure to deal with Kevin, he knew exactly the type of trips I was looking for and catering for a group with an age range of 22-57 was always going to be a challenge but the trips Kevin suggested were perfect and enjoyable for everyone! Always helpful and knowledge with anything and everything I need to know and need answered, made planning easy and straight forward from options to budget, timing and with genuine advice!

All hail Kevin! Seriously though, this guy is actually awesome at his job. Kevin from travel bugs 1770 booked our trip to Fraser for us. Having been there himself more than once (like most of the places he offers out) he was able to not only put us with a fab provider, but share all his “should’ve/would’ve done that” top tips from his trips to ensure we absolutely nailed it and had a blooming amazing time there, first time. This guy is honest, straight talking and certainly went the extra mile for us. Hence the 5 star, A++, all hail Kevin review. Thank you.
