My friend and I recently did this amazing six-hour Paronella Park afternoon/ evening tour with Man from Infinity Fun Travel. I'm in my late sixties with mobility problems and my friend is in her mid-seventies. We desperately wanted to see Paronella Park though but needed and wanted a shorter tour that gave us both a daylight and evening experience, of the park so this tour was absolutely perfect for us. Man was such an exceptional and knowledgeable host and we highly recommend him. He was on time, reasonably priced, provided very comfortable transport as well as great, informative commentary throughout the tour which really gave us a much better understanding about Paronella Park, and it's surrounds and people in the very beginning. This also really helped compliment the tours we did later at Paronella Park itself as it was a great introduction to them. Overall, it was such a wonderful experience, but what really impressed us the most was that Man truly looked after us. Due to our ages and my disability having that reassuring support and care meant a great deal to us. So, if we know of any family and friends in the future going to Carins etc we will most certainly be recommending them to Man and his fabulous tour company.
Thank-you so much for your review and I'm glad that I'm able to complete your bucket list. Your lovely personality also make so happy to take you on tour. To be honest I never thought you will give me such high complements. All the best.
Park history was very interesting and clearly the owners and staff are passionate about preserving and growing this piece of Queensland history. However, in our case, the transportation to the park was substandard and you have a long drive (90 min.) each way.
Sorry for the air-conditioning not working properly but I'm doing my best. Things happen when you don't expected it isn't? Safe trip home.
The driver is friendly and talkative person. I really enjoyed the tour also the car was clean and comfortable . If I go there again I want to apply same company.
Thank you so much!

Thank you! See you next time!
