It was a very unforgettable experience! Our guide Lin was adorable and of course Jim the mule who played a great part. The food during the trek and the accommodation every night on tents teach us simplicity and survival but it was well organised. The view was spectacular and the group that we walked with for 7 days now became our friends. I have recommended Cairns already to my friends who asked about this experience.

I did the camping TMB and it was absolutely brilliant. It's really well organised, great value for money and the guide, Max, and mule, Robuste, were excellent! As a single traveller I was able to have my own tent too which was great. Highly recommended.
