Traveller Reviews
I don’t usually post reviews on Google or Tripadvisor, but this time I had to ! Tree Hugger Travel is an amazing company ! They are so reactive, much more than anyone else even the big travel companies. They will answer in no time ! They will help you no matter what and the most important, they are INDEPENDANT ! That means they won’t offer you something to earn a lot of money, they will listen to your needs and offer you something that suits you even if they won’t make a lot of money. I’m glad to book all of my tours, visits, campervans, cars with them in Australia and even in New Zealand ! Do not hesitate, they are so nice ! We highly recommend Tree Hugger Travel !

We would like to thanks Tina and John for the amazing job that have done organizing our trip! They helped us from the beginning to the end, offering to us the best choices, asking always if everything was fine, managing the booking to our changes, they replied to our million questions (sorry 😅) and they have always been available! We 100% recommend them for your trip! Thanks again, Laura and Massimo

John and Tina were both exceptional at providing information regarding the various options i can choose from - all from a sustainable standpoint and with no additional charges to the consumer woohoo! Friendly, responsive and attentive; 10/10 would recommend and have already done so to fellow travellers. Booked an awesome trip out to swim with whale sharks in the west coast and now am back to look for a snorkel/dive tour out on the east coast of GBR!

I cannot recommend Tree Hugger strongly enough. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I was in great hands and my itinerary was packed full of amazing things to do, where to eat, what to see... EVERYTHING. All of the companies they operate with ie campervan hires, accom, diving the reef etc were exceptional. I even received a daily follow up just to see how my day went. A really nice touch. They clearly care about their clients and they did all they could to ensure my time away was memorable and hassle free. This crew seriously deserves to be winning tourism awards and I wish them every success. I have never met them and I love them to bits haha.

John was recommended to us through the AirBnB we had booked in Cairns. After telling him our interests, he created a detailed itinerary for our group of 4, from the time our flight landed until our departure 3 days later. With his help, we were able to pack in as much as possible to maximize our time in Cairns and he made it easy. I emailed him back and forth several times to "tweak" the tours we were looking at and get exactly what we wanted in terms of size of tour group, length of tour, inclusions, price, etc. There are so many tours to the Great Barrier Reef when you look online, it is overwhelming. John really helped us focus in on what we wanted and took care of the bookings for us.

I cannot recommend these guys strongly enough! John was fabulous from start to finish. I had no idea where to start and as this was my first solo trip I needed guidance. John provided me with loads of information and some amazing tours that suited all price ranges. we worked through these and managed to tailor my trip to be exactly what I wanted. I had a fantastic time In aus and John was always on hand to help any time of the day. Do not hesitate to put your trust in these guys, they will not disappoint! Thanks John!

I would highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to travel Australia! Luckily I got this company recommended by a friend, and it made my travels on the east coast way easier and adventurous than I would ever be able to plan on my own. I found it really nice that the help was personalized and you’ll always get a quick answer with any question you may have. So a huge thank you for taking care of all the practical things, so my only job was to enjoy my trip!
