A word from Owner/Operator: John Schmidt.
 
THINKING OF TRAVELLING??
 
It must be if you have clicked onto our web page!
 
A big thanks for considering our service as a means to see all that N.Q
 (North Queensland) Australia has to offer the international traveller.
We at Absolute North, realize that our product will not suit everyone’s needs,
but then our aim is not to be a “commercial” business that promises a product
but rarely delivers on that promise.
We make no apologies for being business owners without a degree in sales, nor the fact that we despise the word “commission” (commission is what tour operators have to pay marketing agents or hostel owner’s when they sell one of our tours.) Because we operator’s have to ultimately pass that cost on to you, the traveller, which clashes with our sense of “business ethics”.
Only the most confident operator’s could say that and not feel concerned for the well being of the business, but that is exactly what we are, CONFIDENT.
Confident that the area we operate in has the most natural attractions on the east coast, it is by far the least commercial area on the east coast so the traveller doesn’t pay RESORT prices for accommodation and meals (or tours!)
What area are we talking about? I hear you ask! It is the area between Townsville and Mission Beach, an area that boasts the biggest single drop waterfall in Australia, 300 meters, the biggest expanse of stilt mangrove everglades in Australia and the largest island national park in the world! 400 sq k
We are confident that 4 generations of exploring and hunting these area’s gives you the most experienced guides to safely get you into all that is happening within the natural world. (A world we humans forget we are part of sometimes).
So if you are into the personalized tour, where the guide knows your name and you, his, then best you check out this site because when it comes down to it, we deliver on all of the above.
 
Safe travelling,
Absolute North,
John Schmidt.
