Travellers Testimonials and Reviews: First Light Travel

First Light Travel was an easy and helpful company to go through. They created a honeymoon for us that was the perfect balance of luxury, adventure, and natural beauty that Tasmania has to offer. The accommodation they booked was all amazing, as were the adventures and experiences they included in our itinerary. We will definitely be using them again!

Our trip has gone exceptionally well, including the weather. The Avis car hire experience was good, and the almost brand new Toyota Corolla Hybrid we rented was great for the wet and windy roads we encountered. The Gordon River Cruise was fantastic, with a fantastic cruise boat, excellent staff, food, and guiding. Cradle Mountain Lodge offered very good rooms, food, and service, and the Cradle Mountain National Park is superlative.

We enjoyed beautiful Freycinet with its stunning scenery and glorious weather (sunny and 20c). The Wine Glass Bay cruise was terrific. The crew, lunch, and boat were all very good, as was the scenery. The sunny weather and calm seas were a rarity, according to the crew! Finally, we had a fun and fascinating time at MONA. We went by ferry and also dined at The Source restaurant there. Overall, our trip was filled with amazing experiences and stunning scenery. From the wet and windy roads to the calm and sunny seas, we enjoyed it all. The Avis car hire was essential for getting around, and the Toyota Corolla Hybrid served us well. The Gordon River Cruise was a highlight of the trip, with excellent staff, food, and guiding. Cradle Mountain Lodge offered excellent accommodation, food, and service, and the Cradle Mountain National Park is a must-see destination. Finally, our visit to MONA was a fun and fascinating experience.

First Light Travel took so many of the complicated logistics of planning a five week vacation to multiple countries off our hands. They were always professional and kind and very patient with my endless questions.

I truly enjoyed my self drive vacations that I booked with First Light Travel. They did a fantastic job setting up all my reservations. They picked out great excursions, and great accommodations. Especially since it had to be rebooked a couple of time, once because of my changes and the 2nd time due to Covid...I would highly recommend them for any of your travel needs/wants for Australia...

We just got back from our 3 week honeymoon around Australia, organised by First Light Travel. It was just an incredible, unforgettable experience and we will treasure the memories we made on this trip forever. I highly recommend First Light Travel - the travel designers were attentive and creative, putting together a completely unique itinerary that was perfect for us.

The accommodation was outstanding and several quite special places were included. All of the activities were thoughtfully selected to suit us as a couple and were great. Any amendments we requested were included without missing a beat. Everything went smoothly and when I reached out to Gina during the trip she was very responsive! Thanks again Gina and the team.

It was a pleasant experience to discuss the travel needs and get customised itinerary from Michelle Srzich of First Light Travel. She was very patient and came up with couple of options to suit my needs. The stay arrangement was very comfortable and was done keeping the travellers in mind. Pre booked activity cancellation due to inclement weather was also taken care with a refund request after the trip completion. The family trip to Tasmania was a memorable one and kudos to Michelle and team.

This was our 1st overseas trip since Nov 2019. We were looking forward to explore Sydney both in the city and the outskirts. Michelle Srzich’s help was fantastic! She was prompt in her followup and we luv all the apartments that she arranged for us! Although we ran into some issues while checking into our apartment at Bondi beach, Michelle’s colleagues were absolutely helpful in troubleshooting in view that it was Michelle s day-off. Highly recommended!

The holiday was great for Nat and Aaron's 20tb Anniversary! There's more to Tassie then just wineries and food....but we did try alot of wineries and the food was amazing. After over 250 oysters, the boys were very happy men, rating oysters everywhere we went - just FYI, most of the oysters are top notch We drove, we saw, we drank, we ate and we did the tourist thing. We couldn't fault the holiday. We did have rainy weather towards the end but that didn't stop us from finding stuff to do. Everything was well planned and it was my first holiday with my disability so my confidence has increased and we'll be sure to use Michelle again!

Hi Michelle. 

Our trip was great. All of our accommodations and excursions were good. The camper van rentals worked out great. Both the outlets (Alice Springs and Perth) were very easy to work with. We were in and out in no time.

This was our second trip with First Light. If we come back to your area we will use First Light for sure. Thanks for all your help.

We felt that our honeymoon was well worth the money we paid for. The services we received were excellent and we cannot fault the itinerary. Even when the One Off Public Holiday was announced, Nikita was able to come up with a Plan B. It was faultless and made our trip a breeze.

Our  highlights included watching it snow while sitting by the fire in our cabin in Cradlw Mountain, seeing all the wildlife in Tassie and our cruise around Wineglass Bay.

We absolutely miss Tassie and will definitely come back. We have no problems recommending First Light Travel or Nikita and will definitely use them again .

Thank you for making our dream trip come true!
