Our Scenic Rim Walking Tour was amazing! Our tour leader Alison, was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and looked after all our needs from day 1. The walking was very manageable and we learnt a lot about the birds and wildflife. It was so much fun sharing the experience with like minded people and relaxing at night time with each other. I highly recommend this trip. It has changed my outlook on being with nature, and I am ready to keep exploring our beautiful world.

Scenic Rim was my fourth trip with Intrepid and was well organised with an excellent tour leader. Intrepid tours attract a great bunch of people (of all ages) which makes all the difference, and excellent for single people like myself. Experienced beautiful scenery and some stunning accommodation. Note their accommodation is of a wide style and does not meet the standard 4 star look and range of facilities; therein lies it charm.

The scenic rim trip was fantastic. The hikes were really good and generally not too challenging (except for my dodgy knee!). The Aboriginal Smoking Ceremony was great. We visited a couple of local wineries and had dinner at 3 different country pubs which was fun. Mt Barney Lodge was a beautiful old building full of history. The guide Jonny was well organised and very knowledgeable, and the group were all good company and supportive. I'd definitely recommend this trip.

This trip was incredible! The walks were so enjoyable and full of wildlife- we saw Cat birds, wallabies, Lyre Birds, and even a friendly Python! Beautiful trails that are easy to walk while taking it all in! This trip is the perfect opportunity to experience the Scenic Rim on a variety of trails and activities that teach you tons about the area and First Nations. Truly an iconic, beautiful experience that I would recommend to anyone!

Our well organised trip to the beautiful Scenic Rim was fabulous - with great walks, an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide and interesting activities. This was my 3rd Intrepid trip and I will certainly use them again.

Just back from an amazing holiday walking the Scenic Rim. We hiked over 50km up hill, down dale, across creeks and through beautiful pockets of ancient Gondwana rainforest. The scenery was stunning, the company was awesome, and I can't recommend our tour leader, Joel, and Intrepid Travel highly enough!

It was a last minute decision on my part to join Intrepid’s Walk the Scenic Rim trip, but it turned out to be the best decision. The walk was challenging in parts, but manageable, and the scenery spectacular. The days were full but never rushed and the smaller group was perfect for such a trip. My fellow walkers were a great group of people with a shared love of the outdoors, and a quiet drink at the end of the day! Kudos to our guide Fleur who was so organised, knowledgeable, and fun! It was a fantastic trip which surpassed my expectations and I would highly recommend.

The trip was well organised and the group size was perfect. The trip gave me an opportunity to visit parts of Queensland that I may not have visited. The walks were challenging at times, but not too dangerous. If you are looking to destress for a few days and see beautiful scenery, than this trip is perfect.
