What others thought of this tour

“We have just spent two nights on Thursday Island and Vanessa from Torres Strait Heritage was fabulous. From meeting us at the wharf, showing us both Thursday and Horn Island and organising a fishing trip, a visit to the Pearl farm on Friday Island with an amazing lunch and demonstration. We had an incredible visit. Thank you Vanessa.”

“I took a group of 30 guests to Thursday/Horn Island. Every guest commented on the magnificent commentary provided by Vanessa and Liberty during our stay. We explored the cultural, geographical and historical aspects of Thursday, Friday, Horn islands and reached "the Tip" of Australia all with a faultless program designed by Vanessa.”
