Great Australian Bight Tour
I love it when an event exceeds expectations. On this trip every day exceeded our expectations. The events we knew about were great, the surprises were brilliant. We had travelled the west & south coast of W.A. looking for whales for Bev but without success. So the whales at Fowlers Bay and Head of the Bight were certainly the highlight. Dinner on the cliffs and the Pichi Richi Railway were other highlights. Belinda’s great organisation and wonderful personality made it a great trip.
Tony & Bev
Wow!! Belinda, this trip was amazing! We have covered this area while on a camping trip, but what we experienced on this trip was fantastic. A real adventure, from the Port Lincoln fishing industry & boat trip, to the whale watching boat trip in Fowlers Bay. Then there was the whale watching from the Bunda Cliffs. Not to mention the optional Cessna flight, so many whales! The 4WD expedition on the Nullarbor was incredible also. An added touch was dinner under the stars out on the plains. Couldn’t forget the Pichi Richi train journey and the surprising dinner that followed. We are happily exhausted.
Sherryl & Tony
Thank-you Belinda, wonderful trip again, each one I go on gets better and better. My favourite thing was the 4WD trip, out over the Nullarbor with the lunch on the Bunda Cliffs. Amazing train trip on the Pichi Richi rail, my most enjoyable thing to do is a train ride. Did love a drink in the pub at Quorn with the locals, before the return ride.
Catherine
Personally, I like a full programme and this one is action-packed. It’s full of cameo moments & exciting, varied surprises, the accommodation was excellent enabling you to restore and refresh. I feel invigorated & enriched by all the experiences, the gorgeous scenery & lovely people we met who operate the tours. Such passionate environmentalist. Thank you.
Joan
This was my third memorable excursion with Group Link Travel, and I have to say “Belinda never fails”. When you see Belinda behind the scenes, on her phone, on the Nullarbor, you know you are being looked after. This tour was to me, a seamless effort, and high point were the “Breaching whale”, Oyster feed and Choral dinner, but all prospectus promises were over delivered. Thank you, Belinda, and I shall certainly be watching for another opportunity to be hosted by Group Link Travel – “Bring it on!”
What a fabulous trip. Always know that a “Belinda” trip is going to be well planned and this one was no exception. Attention to detail and caring about everyone’s needs are the things that define you as the tour specialist. PS….. and the surprises were the wow factor!
Neville & Kaye
Thoroughly enjoyed everything about the tour, your attention to detail was amazing Belinda. I particularly loved the ‘special’ dinners and they will stay in my memory for a very long time. Well done.
Lynne
Your tours are like no others Belinda. Thanks for your deep researching to provide amazing experiences. I guess the whales were the highlight – to see the breaching – so rare – was very exciting.
Kaye
Group Link Travel never fails to exceed expectations. So many amazing experiences and sightings, whale watching cruises, tuna farming, seal sightings, fish processing, steel making, wine tasting, 4WD excursions, Australiana plus, plus, side excursions, silo art, oyster bars in the ocean, rock formations, beautiful sunsets, topped with “Head of Bight” and Nullarbor experiences to remember forever and very unusual train and amazing outback dinner experiences, excellent accommodation and best food ever! Thank you Belinda for another special (secret) ending to a wonderful tour with grateful thanks for all your extra effort and friendship.
Ros & Malcom
From Oysters to Fish, to Whales, a pescatorial extravaganza. Boats, planes & trains, a fantastic tour, four wheel driving on the Nullarbor followed by an excellent meal & wine, watching sunset over the Bight. So many highlights with Belinda the ring master and an all over enjoyable and memorable 10 days. An excellent trip, well organised with a great variety of experiences. Well done Belinda.
Trevor & Colleen
Perth to Broome Tour
Another wonderful trip with Group Link. So many wonderful experiences, Monkey Mia and Exmouth are real standouts for us. Yardie Creek was wonderful. Beaches with white sand and aqua water are so beautiful. Belinda looks after everyone with so much care. Our last night banquet will stay in our minds for a long time.
Frank & Kathy
Such a wonderful introduction to W.A. Francois Peron and Yardie Creek were highlights for me and seeing so many wild flowers was lovely. Thank you Belinda for being so considerate and taking care of every detail. I’ll be travelling with you again someday. Second trip with Group Link.
Mary
It was an expected trip for me until the last few days when I wasn’t sure if I should join due to ill health. But my daughter reminded me I will be looked after if it comes to the worst – Belinda will organise a flight, she will never let you down. I was encouraged by Belinda to join even if I have to bring a walker. Belinda made my dream a reality, I had a wonderful holiday with my stick in hand. Well organised trip with a lot of thought put into it. I hope I will be well enough to join another trip organised by you. Thanks and well done.
What a wonderful experience exploring the West Coast of our vast country. Your organisation was exceptional as usual. Thank you so much.
Julie
Thank you once again for an extremely well planned tour. This Perth to Broome tour went way beyond my expectations. You never disappoint us. Loved every day and felt thoroughly spoilt at Cable Beach Club Resort. Can’t wait to travel with you again.
Elaine
What an amazing two weeks we have spent on the Perth to Broome tour. Everything organised was perfect and something to suit everyone. As usual the care & attention you provide excels all rivals. Belinda, you go above & beyond with details and never disappoint with surprise sightseeing on every day. Meals & accommodation were both a high standard. Thank you so much for making another dream come true.

Tasmania East Coast Tour
Another great tour, packed full of memorable experiences, lovely accommodation, fabulous food and friendly people. So well organised with a competent & very knowledgeable bus driver. Thanks Belinda.
Sherryl & Tony
Such a well thought out tour Belinda. Saw things we never expected eg: The Cheese Factory, the blow holes, the majestic coastal views of cliffs, crushing waves. Also loved our time in Freycinet National Park. Beaconsfield was an eye opener. Thank you so much
Kay
Enjoyed the variety of attractions we visited. Particular favourites were the Beaconsfield mine tour, the mind blowing technology at the Holy Cow dairy, the beauty of the Freycinet Peninsula, the lunch cruise, Bruny Island , etc, etc. And of course, we appreciated the meticulous planning which made the tour such a success. Thank you.
Joyce & Beth
We’re glad we finally made it on one of your trips Belinda! My favourites – Freycinet and managing the walk/climb to the lookout; the Beaconsfield Mine tour and the Port Arthur Historic Site (in spite of the rain); and the fabulous accommodation. And you made the trip FUN Belinda, with the surprise “Pub in the Paddock” visit, today’s lunch and whisky tasting at Callington Mill, and all the thought and effort you put in to ensure that everybody is looked after and catered for. Many thanks.
Carole & Roy
Central Australia Tour
Dear Belinda, thank you for your friendship and professionalism resulting in a marvellous holiday. Too many highlights to name all but no day was a disappointment. The trip’s final events in Alice Springs were fantastic. Sunrise and sunset at Uluru thrilling. Thanks for your work.
Stephen
Belinda, sorry about the occasional slap with my backpack. We thank you for all the assistance offered to Angela – certainly makes it much easier for her. Great planning for this trip – enjoyed all the stops. Thank you Belinda for your kindness your attention to detail, fabulous trip, you are amazing, love you to bits.
Neville & Angela
Thanks Belinda. Your energy and caring make for a great experience. For me Coober Pedy was all I’d expected re sights & experiences, with the Breakaways a huge highlight. Glorious colours in the rock formations & sunset with young Josh, an exceptional guide. Sunset over Uluru – splendid, Simpson’s Gap – truly awesome. All the lots of little comforts you provide as ‘extras’ are thoughtful. Thank you.
Lyn
Dear Belinda, thank you for such a great trip. Your organisation was exceptional. Sunset at the Breakaways was one of many highlights. Accommodation & meals were excellent. We were disappointed we missed two days in Alice which we believe were fantastic, but so glad we managed the Gorges. Many thanks.
Judy & John
Japan Tour
I am still recovering from the most incredible tour of my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for all the surprises and your efforts to collate such tremendous numbers of them, all without a hitch. How do you do it? I was very impressed with the number of attractions you managed to fit into the time. A surprise around every corner. Seriously, I could not be happier, satisfied, impressed and confident it could not be bettered. My highlights: 95% of the trip. (The other 5% was missing a real proper Coffee, but that was OK!)
Victor
We can’t thank you enough for organising such an amazing holiday. The places we saw, the things we did, the accommodation and food were all fabulous. It is hard to pick a favourite but a highlight was definitely the mystery day. What a treat and not something everyone gets to do while in Japan. Mt Fuji was another wonderful experience and we were so incredibly lucky to have several days where we had absolutely clear views of this world heritage site.
Julie & Ross
Lesley and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip to Japan due very much to your skills in putting together a trip which gave us great insight into the country and its culture. You enabled us to be part of some lifetime experiences such as the dinner with Maiko which was incredible as were a number of the other dining experiences. Your even tempered approach especially in some trying circumstances was much appreciated and your calmness in shepherding the group through train and bus stations gave us all confidence to give it a go on our days off. Thanks again and we would thoroughly recommend the trip to others - it really exceeded our expectations.
Words are inadequate to express my gratitude for the wonderful tour you organised and the friendly and professional manner in which you navigated the busy schedule and occasional challenge. Your efforts are greatly appreciated by dad and I.
Kerryn
Many, many thanks for giving us such a fantastic trip. I am still missing Japan. Your efficiency blew me away and your generosity was absolute. You and Japan have left a very warm place in my heart.
Lynice, Sue & Meredith
A quick note to thank you very much for watching over us in Japan and providing incredible experiences which will last a lifetime. Much appreciated for your advice & care.
