DAY TRIPS · AROUND THE WORLD
Good bbq day trips sell out weeks ahead wherever they are. Below: the 8 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Review of Klein Curaçao’s 9-hour catamaran trip, with BBQ lunch, premium drinks, snorkeling, sea turtles, and practical seasickness tips.
“It was very fun had ample time to swim!! The crew were very nice and lit!!! I saw sting rays, danced on the boat, and the steak with peanut sauce was delicious!!”
Review of Emu Run’s Alice Springs to Uluru day trip, with cultural walks, sunset BBQ, sparkling wine, transport, costs, and practical tips.
“Pickup was prompt and around 7:30am the journey to Uluru began. There are a few toilet stops between Alice Springs and Yulara Resort but be aware not all toilets are the flushing kind. The stop at Erldunda Roadhouse is short so if you want to buy something for breakfast only buy what's on offer in the displays. Tip: arrange a prepacked breakfast at your hotel if available otherwise buy prepacked sandwiches and something to drink in town the day before. At Yulara there's limited time for lunch. The cafe is the best choice for a quick bite to eat. At Yulara driver/guide Yad took over and drove us to Uluru…”
Review of Praslin’s Curieuse and St Pierre day trip, with giant tortoises, mangrove trails, Creole BBQ, snorkeling, and practical tips.
“Amazing experience!!!! Good organized, everyone was kind and helpful!!! Strongly recommend!!!”
Review of the Curieuse and St. Pierre boat trip from Praslin, with tortoises, mangroves, Creole BBQ, snorkeling, costs, and practical tips.
“Excellent trip. Small group (we were a group of three and were joined by only two others (and they opted to cut the day short, so we had the boat to ourselves for the other part of the day). For Curieuse, I would recommend better shoes than flipflops (my choice), as there is a possibility to hike to the other side of the island and the way is a bit rocky. Loads of photo opportunities on the whole trip. Snorkeling was good as well, we even saw a glimps of a sea turtle (apparently we were lucky). All on all, good value and a fun day out.”
Explore Curieuse’s tortoises and mangroves, then snorkel at St Pierre Island on a four-hour Praslin boat trip for $53.
“It was Amazing. Our tour guide Mario was very knowledgeable, got so many insights from him about seychelles. Trek is a must do and shouldn't be missed when in Praslin. Snorkeling was surreal. Will recommend 200%”
Hike Korouoma’s frozen waterfalls from Rovaniemi, with winter gear, a Finnish campfire lunch, hot juice, transport, and a guide.
“Awesome. I really enjoyed the trip with Paul I as guide.”
Soar over Top End floodplains, ride an airboat, enjoy a BBQ cruise, and feed rescue crocodiles on a full day from Darwin.
“Great day seeing the crocodiles in their natural habitat. Enjoyed my first hovercraft trip especially through the grass areas. Meet Matt in person and had a photo. All staff were friendly and highly recommend trip.”
Ride an ATV and jet ski around Bora Bora, visit WWII guns and viewpoints, then enjoy a Polynesian BBQ on a motu.
“This tour is great! Both Mo and Jeff were friendly, entertaining, and great guides for the ATV and Jet Ski's around the island. The BBQ was awesome! 10/10 recommend!”
A boat, a castle, a waterfall or a very long lunch.
