A massive thank you for organising a once in a life time trip for us.

We just wanted to firstly say a massive thank you for organising a once in a life time trip for us, we had the best time and are actually thinking of potentially moving out there for a couple of years in the near future. 

All the hotels met and exceeded our expectations and all the activities were fab. A great variety of both meant we were never bored or unsatisfied. None of the activities were cancelled, everything went ahead smoothly. 


Primary reason we booked with First Light Travel was ease of planning and booking

We could probably have saved a few dollars by organising and booking ourselves, but the modest extra cost to book our trip through First Light Travel was well worth it. The original itinerary was adjusted quickly to address our requests, and we were very happy with the quality of all aspects of our trip. From Launceston, to Cradle Bay, a side trip to the gorgeous old town of Ross, then across to Freycinet for our fabulous Wine Glass Bay cruise (mother and baby whales, fur seals and dolphins!), then to Port Arthur and Hobart, with another side trip to beautiful Richmond, we loved it all. Everything ran smoothly, all the work was done for us, and full instructions were provided for the trip. Thanks First Light Travel. 

 


Was value for money too, given that they tailored the trip to our requirements.

Well-planned by Tatyana! Was value for money too, given that they tailored the trip to our requirements. Love the recommendations of Strahan - Risby cove. Really a quiet place in the middle of nowhere. Just the 99 bends almost took my breath away. Cradle Mountain hotel was another great accommodation booked. Wombats galore! Would skip Launceston Grand Chancellor and Tall Timbers if I were to do the trip again. And perhaps stay at Swinging Gate in tamar valley instead. The Penicott wildlife tour (part of the package) was yet another highlight of our trip. We saw dolphins! Bucket list checked! Would have loved to spend more nights in each place cos the drive was really long to get around.


We will definitely be using them again!

First Light Travel was an easy and helpful company to go through. They created a honeymoon for us that was the perfect balance of luxury, adventure, and natural beauty that Tasmania has to offer. The accommodation they booked was all amazing, as were the adventures and experiences they included in our itinerary. We will definitely be using them again!

Our trip has gone exceptionally well, including the weather. The Avis car hire experience was good, and the almost brand new Toyota Corolla Hybrid we rented was great for the wet and windy roads we encountered. The Gordon River Cruise was fantastic, with a fantastic cruise boat, excellent staff, food, and guiding. Cradle Mountain Lodge offered very good rooms, food, and service, and the Cradle Mountain National Park is superlative.

We enjoyed beautiful Freycinet with its stunning scenery and glorious weather (sunny and 20c). The Wine Glass Bay cruise was terrific. The crew, lunch, and boat were all very good, as was the scenery. The sunny weather and calm seas were a rarity, according to the crew! Finally, we had a fun and fascinating time at MONA. We went by ferry and also dined at The Source restaurant there. Overall, our trip was filled with amazing experiences and stunning scenery. From the wet and windy roads to the calm and sunny seas, we enjoyed it all. The Avis car hire was essential for getting around, and the Toyota Corolla Hybrid served us well. The Gordon River Cruise was a highlight of the trip, with excellent staff, food, and guiding. Cradle Mountain Lodge offered excellent accommodation, food, and service, and the Cradle Mountain National Park is a must-see destination. Finally, our visit to MONA was a fun and fascinating experience.

First Light Travel took so many of the complicated logistics of planning a five week vacation to multiple countries off our hands. They were always professional and kind and very patient with my endless questions.

I truly enjoyed my self drive vacations that I booked with First Light Travel. They did a fantastic job setting up all my reservations. They picked out great excursions, and great accommodations. Especially since it had to be rebooked a couple of time, once because of my changes and the 2nd time due to Covid...I would highly recommend them for any of your travel needs/wants for Australia...

We just got back from our 3 week honeymoon around Australia, organised by First Light Travel. It was just an incredible, unforgettable experience and we will treasure the memories we made on this trip forever. I highly recommend First Light Travel - the travel designers were attentive and creative, putting together a completely unique itinerary that was perfect for us.

The accommodation was outstanding and several quite special places were included. All of the activities were thoughtfully selected to suit us as a couple and were great. Any amendments we requested were included without missing a beat. Everything went smoothly and when I reached out to Gina during the trip she was very responsive! Thanks again Gina and the team.

It was a pleasant experience to discuss the travel needs and get customised itinerary from Michelle Srzich of First Light Travel. She was very patient and came up with couple of options to suit my needs. The stay arrangement was very comfortable and was done keeping the travellers in mind. Pre booked activity cancellation due to inclement weather was also taken care with a refund request after the trip completion. The family trip to Tasmania was a memorable one and kudos to Michelle and team.

This was our 1st overseas trip since Nov 2019. We were looking forward to explore Sydney both in the city and the outskirts. Michelle Srzich’s help was fantastic! She was prompt in her followup and we luv all the apartments that she arranged for us! Although we ran into some issues while checking into our apartment at Bondi beach, Michelle’s colleagues were absolutely helpful in troubleshooting in view that it was Michelle s day-off. Highly recommended!
