Liz and Paula are both so accommodating and built amazing trips to our specific requests. We saw everything we wanted and more. All of our guides were helpful, knowledgeable and fun. The hotels and restaurants were world class. This is our 8th or 9th trip with Kimkim and we are already planning our next.

Bay Villas Resort
Port Douglas

The Bay Villas Resort in Port Douglas was disappointing. The property was dated and run down compared to other hotels we stayed at. There was no one on-site after 4 PM, which was inconvenient and not communicated properly. The rooms had issues like worn-off stove numbers, making it hard to use. The hotel is mostly timeshares and lacked the level of service we expected.

PARKROYAL Darling Harbour
Sydney

The PARKROYAL Darling Harbour in Sydney was great. The location was excellent and the service was very good.

Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart
Hobart

The Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart was another excellent hotel. It was nicely located with very good service.

M Social
Auckland

The M Social hotel in Auckland was really good. It was very nicely located and made it really easy to get around from there. We were very happy with the accommodation and the overall experience at this hotel.

The Garden Onsen Outdoor Soak was a nice experience. We had an hour soak, but the spa was huge and gorgeous, so we wished we had more time there.

The Full Day Outer Reef Mackay Coral Cay trip from Port Douglas was excellent. Even though our original trip was canceled due to bad weather, the team was very helpful in rescheduling it for us.

Twilight Dinner Cruise - Tall Ship

Sydney

The Twilight Dinner Cruise on a Tall Ship in Sydney was a good experience, but there was confusion about the operator and the boat was changed last minute to a smaller one. Also, my dietary restrictions were not communicated, which limited my meal options.

The Sydney Opera House Tour was amazing, and seeing a performance there was highly recommended. It was a memorable cultural experience.

Kangaroo Island - 2 night experience at Sea Dragon Lodge - first day
Kangaroo Island

The experience at Sea Dragon Lodge was very good. However, the experiences offered were pre-planned and not selectable upon arrival, which was a bit disappointing. Some activities we wanted, like sheep herding and morning yoga, were seasonal and not available during our stay. The staff were accommodating and allowed us to do alternative activities.
