From the moment I stepped into the luxurious hotel lobby, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The transfer to the zoo was smooth and efficient, with a knowledgeable and friendly driver who went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable journey.
Upon arriving at the zoo, I was amazed by the wide range of animals and the well-maintained enclosures. The educational programs and interactive exhibits provided a memorable and enriching experience. Thank you for going the extra mile to make my trip unforgettable.

Enjoy the Mary Valley Tour
"We had a great day travelling through the Mary Valley with Joel’s Journeys. Morning coffee was unique and the coffee very good. The scenery was spectacular as we made our way to the `Rattler’ and the town of Kenilworth where we had a great lunch and time to explore the town with its famous cheese factory. A walk through the forest with the amazing Fig Tree ended the tour. We highly recommend the tour which was conducted in a most efficient and pleasant way."

Great Montville & surrounding tour with Joel’s Journeys
"Joel was a very knowledgeable guide and did everything possible to give his clients a great experience.

Some of the highlights were an hour exploring the delightful Montville, a 45 minute walk in a fabulous peaceful & beautiful remnant old growth forest, beautiful views from the best lookout spots, a lovely lunch, a top rate chocolate tasting stop and a wine tasting. Everything was top class, nothing was too much effort for Joel and I thoroughly recommend this tour."

A brilliant day out!
"We had a great trip with Joel to the Australia Zoo - this is more than a transfer, it’s a tour with a roomy bus and great commentary from Joel. We had booked onto a day when the tour doesn’t usually run so there was just the two of us on board and Joel still took us, with enthusiasm, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend, great value for money and felt like a luxury trip given by a tour guide who really cares."

"Joel's tour to Glasshouse Mtns, Montville, Maleny and much more was great the whole way. My wife and I enjoyed Joel's friendly manner and great local knowledge. He obviously loves the area and is keen that the environment is cared for and respected and that sense of community in Noosa is maintained. Tour was well paced with lots of time for us to explore on our own but also great guiding through rainforest, waterfall, scenic vistas by Joel. Also appreciated Joel's attention to detail and willingness to share his in depth knowledge of the area. Would recommend Joel very highly, great value all round. All the best for your business Joel, you deserve to succeed and undoubtedly will. Cheers"

"Joel promptly picked us up at 8.15am from our accommodation in Noosa in his lovely clean comfy van and took us on a full day private tour of Maleny and Montville which are the most adorable little picturesque towns. We visited a stunning waterfall at Mapleton with incredible views as well as an amazing guided rainforest walk where we spotted about 7 pademelon’s, various birds, flora and learnt about the eco system of the area. Joel’s knowledge of the local area is phenomenal. A delicious and huge lunch was included at a local restaurant in Flaxton as well as a visit and tasting at Maleny chocolatiers. He also took us to a Secret treetop resort with incredible and breathtaking views of Lake Baroon. It was the most wonderful jam-packed yet relaxing 9 hour day. And a great day out even though it was intermittently raining. Would definitely recommend you book Joel. He was so friendly, kind and so accommodating and will be booking him again when we return to the Sunshine Coast for our next holiday."

Everything was local, fresh and delicious. You also get to meet the owners/operators and they are all so passionate about what they do, which makes for a great experience. Highly recommend doing this tour with Joel, you will have a great time and you just need to sit back and enjoy the day, Joel takes care of everything. Five star service all day."

Great day in Mary Valley!
"Joel is an excellent tour guide. He is very friendly, passionate and extremely knowledgeable of the areas we visited. I would highly recommend this tour it was a great way to see Mary Valley with a varied itinerary. The wine tasting at the end of the tour was great too! Based on the tour we did today we will definitely book one of Joel’s other tours when we return to Noosa!"

Mary Valley Tour
Janette Bradford, UK
"My friend and I were picked up so neither of us had to drive anywhere which is good when you are intending visiting a winery. The Bus Stop for morning tea was delightful with very good coffee and carrot cake. Lunch was also very nice and we all really enjoyed the wine and cheese tasting. We thought the train was terrific and would have liked to experience riding on it. The bell bird Forrest was delightful. My only real negative comment is that we should have been supplied with water especially as it was a very hot day. Any day trips I've undertaken have always supplied water. Otherwise we should have been advised to bring water. Our host is a very personable, energetic young man and we wish him well. Read less"

Note in response to this review: Joel’s Journeys always have water on our tour buses for our guests to refill their own water bottles on request. This was a case of miscommunication where we were not aware that Lyn wanted water, and Lyn was not aware that we had water on the bus. Therefore Lyn and the water did not realise they were in close proximity to each other for the duration of our tour. We take onboard this feedback and will ensure we advise our guests of the water more effectively in future.

Australia Zoo Transfer with Entry Ticket
Evan Scotland
Best way to travel Sunshine Coast
"British backpacker in Australia arrived in Noosa on the 5th of feb and realised I needed a car but only here for a few days and I wanted to go the Australian zoo ( Steve Irwin’s zoo) and my hostel said that JOEL ADVENTURES can pick you up and drop you back with the zoo tickets included and I thought what a great idea. As I didn’t want to rent a car and I also didn’t want to get the train. So I reached out to Joel and from the booking process to contacting was so easy Joël helped you book the trip. Then from picking up all the way to the zoo Joel had music on he was so happy and cheerful kind and honestly he knew so much about the Sunshine Coast and well Australia and I think that means a lot for us backpackers it’s refreshing and it was just remarkable it’s so nice hearing all the stories and learning about the culture and community knowing all the locations on the way to the zoo. We got dropped right off our side the zoo VIP treatments! The car/bus is brand new so comfortable air corn recliner seats . Ah it’s perfect 10/10 service i could recommend any more! I want to say a massive thank you for your service ! I’m so looking forward to doing more tours and trips via you and your company. Thank you Joel"

A great trip to Australia Zoo!
"We went with Joel’s Journeys for a trip to australia zoo and had a great time! Joel is lovely and personable and you can tell he’s a local who knows the area. The bus is intimate but spacious and comfortable. He took us on a scenic route around the local beaches and gave us great detail about the zoo and what to expect. The trip was affordable and great for a group and took away the hassle of organising tickets as it’s all included in the package. A great memory for myself and my friends and we will definitely be going with Joel for future day trips!"

The best start/end to our day out!
"We (2 adults) booked Joel’s Journeys as our transfer from Noosa to Australia zoo. Amazing experience, great price too as we purchased our transfer/zoo ticket combo from Joel’s Journeys. The van is so comfy and great that we could charge our phones at our seats after a long day. Our driver had great chat and had so much knowledge about the local area too. I would definitely be booking with them again if I returned to do more day trips from Noosa!"

"We all had a wonderful time on Joel's tour. His knowledge and the places he shared with us were awesome. The food, tastings and sites of the Noosa surrounds were spectacular and showcased the best offerings that you would not find on your own. Joel was the perfect host on this tour and the bus was comfy and air conditioned. It was obvious the passion Joel has for what he does and it makes for an excellent and informative day - could not recommend this enough. Thanks Joel."

Fantastic Tour
"We were staying in Noosa and decided to book this tour as the reviews were good and thought it would be nice to see more of this beautiful place. Joel did not disappoint us. His knowledge was great and he is very engaging, hospitable and friendly. We visited the forest areas of the National Park, stunning Sunshine Beach where we also had lunch at the Surf Club there. We visited lakes and actually walked across one to a sand bank. He is constantly pointing out and talking about places of interest. We visited a chocolate factory, and of course we bought some too. The whole of the Noosa area is a lot more than we ever knew existed. We also had a ferry ride back to Hastings Street where Joel was waiting for us. This is a fantastic trip to do and we highly recommend this one. We will definitely be booking more of Joel’s Journey tours when we next visit. Many thanks Joel."

"We had a great day out in the local Noosa Region, discovering many hidden gems! Joel was full of interesting local facts including local indigenous names and history. We had a great laugh driving between venues and visited Lake Coortharaba, Pomana (Pomona Village Kitchen for lunch and the nearby gin distillery for a quick stop - this includes a great art gallery), Amrita Meadery and Dingo Creek Winery. Brilliant day out - I highly recommend one of his mystery tours!"

Again, he was waiting for us at the end of the train journey and took us back to Noosa via an alternate route so that we could experience more of the area. I can certainly recommend him."
