Fun Over 50

I am just back from my latest Fun Over 50 tour - "Icons of Outback Queensland". I had been wanting to see this part of Queensland for some time and was not disappointed. The scenery was amazing especially to see how green everything was. Our driver, Chips and his lovely wife Leanne keeps us on track (and entertained!). We met some wonderful… Read more

people from Cheryl at Barcaldine and her visit to Mitchell Grass Retreat Longreach where Tanya and David looked after us. Our time at Tooguuna Farmstay with Fiona and Adam was so interesting and the food amazing. The only downside was the train trip at the begining of the tour - the sleeper cabin was very small and it was almost impossible to sleep with all the noise and vibration of the train at night. The tour was originally 8 days but due to Queensland Rail trackwork, we left a day early - Fun Over 50 covered the extra day so no additional costs to guests.

This is our second trip with this company and will be booking another one next year. Leanne and Chris were excellent host and driver. The Darwin,Kakadu The Kimberley’s and Broome Tour was excellent couldn’t fault anything. It was a holiday full of fun and plenty of laughs no stress at all.Well done Fun over 50 Holidays.

I have just returned from The Ghan Expedition Darwin to Adelaide July 2025. The trip exceeded my expectations and was truly a lot of fun. So many activities and attractions to see, all unforgettable. Our tour host was very knowledgeable and humorous. Show details

After a conversation with my mum regarding the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, it was coming to Brisbane starting on the 12th February, we decided to take the opportunity to join the Fun over 50's Tour, I kept this from my husband until the night before we left for Brisbane yep almost 12 months, we caught the bus to Brisbane from Toowoomba and… Read more

waited for our tour bus to arrive, we meet the lovely host Lyndall and our driver the handsome Greg, needless to say we felt a bit under aged as the group were 70's- 93 we were definitely the pups of the tour but Lyndall and our tour groupies (yes very much young at heart) made us feel welcome even some of the ladies took my husband under their wing it was funny to watch, thank you ladies, we took on the sites of Brisbane at Mount Cootha and lunch at La Vue waterfront Restaurant, lunch was a fine dining experience first time, then to our night stay at the Rydges Fortitude Valley, the rooms very spacious, large 2 shower, and the bed well I googled when I got home to find out what it was (Rydge Dream bed - AH Beard) if we could have put it in our suit case we would have bought it home definitely lives up to its name, just check the fridge to see if they left you milk for a cuppa, the night's performance at Suncorp The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, is a must see, the tour group were all in corporate boxes kept us dry from all the rain with drinks and canapes provided, I must say that I was disappointed with the canapes and we did leave rather hungry by the end of the night, but this did not take way from the nights performances, highland dancers, bag pipes (goose bumps) and my highlight was the secret drummers they are in a league of their own, all performer were remarkable and to carry on during the rain was remarkable, to have someone else organise everything makes it enjoyable and stress free, Lyndall also enjoyed the night but making sure we were all ok and if we wanted anything, maybe a chance to check out the souvenirs could be an option next time, but if they are back again next year we are going again but with the mother in law, then back to Rydges for a really good night sleep (yep we slept in) our morning was a buffet breakfast which we had to book a table, then to South Bank for some time out, most of the groupies took the Brisbane wheel, then off for our final lunch at the Greek club, drinks and dancing everyone left healthy no hips out, so much fun and we also had a few laughs, then it was time to come back to reality. So with all my rambling the whole experience I must say a BIG THANKYOU to Lyndall, Greg and the whole Fun over 50's organisers, we thoroughly enjoyed our first tour and my husband is still raving about how much he enjoyed himself, so come on you 51-60 year old come on and give it a go there needs to be more of us come and be a pup.

Peter and I have just returned from another amazing Fun Over Fifty's tour to K'Gari, Hibiscus Coast and Whitsunday Wonder. We were fortunate enough to travel in luxury on the Coach Diamond Tina with Coach Captain Andrew and Tour Host Vicki. Both worked exceptionally well together and every detail was attended and nothing seemed to be too much… Read more

trouble. Our first stop was for 2 nights on K'Gari. First tick off the bucket list! Amazing day touring the island in a 4WD with a very knowledgeable guide who was passionate about the island. Stopping at the Sarina Sugar Shed for lunch and a tour and Tasting was very enjoyable. Further along the coast we were up very early to head down to Cape Hillsborough for a special treat, seeing the sunrise with the wallabies feeding on the beach. That was a truly special moment and worth getting up early for. A second tick off the bucket list! Travelling along to the Whitsundays we stopped at the Croc Safari, a truly unique experience. Not like the usual touristy croc tours. This was seeing the crocs in their natural environment. Later we were treated to a lovely BBQ lunch. Well worth the visit. Another bucket list ticked off was our full day tour of the Whitsunday Islands before anchoring off Whitehaven Beach where our fun stars were able to alight a tender to be taken across to the beach for a swim or to explore the island. All to quickly our holiday was over and we were driven to Mackay airport for our flight home. Peter commented to me that he thought that was the best tour that we had been on because of the combination our fantastic Crew, our fellow funstars , and the places that we visited. Looking forward to our 10th trip with Fun Over Fifty;s.

Murray and Darling River Rendezvous - 13 Day Fun over 50 Coach Tour – On a cool Brisbane morning 20 Funstars gathered at the Coach Terminal waiting for a large Gold Fun over 50 coach, with our Tour Guide and Coach Captain for the next 13 days. Leanne bounced out of the coach and introduced herself as our guide and her husband Chris as our driver We were all a little nervous but soon made to feel at ease with… Read more

Leanne’s bubbly personality. With our name badges prominently displayed we soon introduced ourselves and started to find those similarities and differences that bind a group. We relaxed completely in the coach as we realized Chris’s competence behind the wheel assured us we’d have a safe trip. Leanne soon put us at ease too, but the professionalism behind the banter convinced us that she knew her job. She set the scene with her thought for the day, sometimes funny, sometimes poignant. A clear and concise plan for the day followed. It’s been very reassuring that while Leanne and Chris are dedicated to keeping to their itinerary, they’re also very adept at squeezing an extra few minutes into our day and surprising us with an added but unplanned adventure. Thank goodness for their ability to think on their feet too, with unexpected last minute changes dealt with expeditiously. Their friendship has been another unexpected pleasure. None of the care and concern for us has been forced; it’s easily seen that their comments and actions have come from their hearts. How reassuring to know that they had our backs and any problems we had were addressed promptly. The care is there but so is the professionalism and for relative beginners in this job, they’ve found their niche. I hope their employers realize what diamonds they have found. Thankyou Chris and Leanne for making the trip such a pleasure for my husband and me (and our 18 travelling companions). There’s been many highlights on this trip and I’ve seen so many new places but I don’t think I’ll ever forget my first trip around the Bathurst circuit in that beautiful big Gold coach. Thanks for starting out as out Tour Guide and Coach Captain but finishing as our friends.

Hi Funstars .This was my 3rd trip with Fun over 50. We arrived in Alice Springs and met our Driver , Dave. He and Arcadia kept us informed with directions and times etc. The entire trip was awsome. One of my favourite things was the Outback Bbq. But cannot just list one thing, have to add the helicopter to Uluru and Olgas.. as well as the King's… Read more

Canyon walk and Accommodation. Would have stayed 2 nights there. So now I cross this off my bucket list and move onto my next trip in 4 weeks doing Horizontal Falls to Perth.

My recent trip to Lake Eyre ticked 3 buckets to fly over the lake at a time of record high to flyover Wilpena Pound and a bonus to fly into the Painted Hills. Had travelled through this area in 2014 but was unable to access these sites dream full filled. Thanks to all the Fun Over 50 crew Show details

I went on an outback coach journey to help small businesses etc. Way out to Eromanga etc. The Coach Driver Ian and his wife the tour hostess did a marvellous and excellent job. They work well together. All of us combined ended up spending a lot of money outback for the small businesses. This style of coach journey was different to the… Read more

company's usual all-inclusive holidays. I think this style of holiday/journey was very good. The company Fun Over Fifty should try to incorporate more of this style of journey/holiday. As well as their 'normal' holidays. Thanks from Pauline. It felt good that we could do this.

Your infectious medical alert itinerary is excellent if it is carried out. However on my trip it was ignored. A male passenger had a very loud sickening phlegmy cough (most unpleasant to be seated near) day after day. It took very little time before spreading to others. I am upset and disappointed that my trip was spoilt by such circumstances . … Read more

Being coughed and sneezed on for 8 days was no fun for this over 50 year old. This relates to your " Treasures of Tasmania Grand Tour " commencing on the 23rd. March 2026.

ORiellys tour was very well. organised and all the costs inclusive so no unexpected extras. The immersions in nature were spectacular and right next to the accommodation. Plenty of fine dining and luxury living for those who like that. The driver and courier were very kind and did all they could to make our holiday magnificent It met more than my expectations especially the nature being so close and hotel luxury . Show details

Fun Over 70 – Not for an active person. If you don’t mind sitting in the coach for hours in between stops and arrive at a venue, sitting through lectures of hour+ on over the top information. Or taken to venues to experience the site, sitting in the coach. In a few years the company will have to change its structure or schedule to cater to the NEW old age generation. People that grew up with modern ways and habits. Show details

Just completed the Icons of Outback Queensland with our hosts Leanne and Chips who catered to our every need. The destinations and accommodation in each of the stops were fantastic - particularly the glamping at Mitchell Grass Retreat with our hosts Tania and David who made us feel very much part of the family. The farm stay at Toogunna Plains… Read more

was also extraordinary and enlightening and Adam and Fiona made us very welcome. Everything on our tour was included in the cost and we had many excursions. Great group of people to travel with and lots of laughs. Would book again with Fun Over 50's

I arrived home a week ago and I thought I'd add my review of the Seven Night and Eight Day Fun Over 50 Tour of Coober Pedy, Lake Eyre and the Flinders Rangers. I was very impressed by how well everything was organised. There was no time wasted. Our Tour guide, Annette, was super efficient, informative and good company. The tour was fully… Read more

catered and the meals were healthy, varied and delicious even in the remote areas. Not a "hamburger and chips" in sight. All the accommodation was good - from basic in the outback town of William Creek to "very nice" everywhere else. All the program on the itinerary was achieved and lots of extras added. I would certainly travel with Fun Over 50 again.

We are on The Darling and Murray Rivers Rendezvous coach tour with FOF holidays, Chips and Leanne are treating us wonderfully well. We're feeling safe and secure with Chips our Captain and being pampered beyond words by Leanne . Just one of sites we've seen so far that stands out is The Chambers of the Black Hand at Lightning Ridge an experience… Read more

that can't be missed, Approximately 85 steps down underground , the most amazing wall carvings, really a must see. We have more exciting days ahead.

8 day Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre, Cooper Pedy & Flinders Ranges from 5th May to 13th May. What a fantastic Tour. The Coach was comfortable and always clean. We were personally escorted at all times without any problems. Mick the Coach driver and Neil the Host gave us informative details about all sites visited. All meals were above normal standards… Read more

with 2 courses. All accomodation even in William Creek were comfortable with access to bars and mixing areas. Four small aircraft flights were taken over Lake Eyre, the Painted Hills, Flinders Ranges including Wilpena Pound. This was our 3rd Tour with Fun Over 50 Tours and this will not be the last.

Recently did my 1st trip with this company and must say their name says it all. I have done coach tours with other companies but this one is the best so far. Driver and Tour Guide were both excellent and went above and beyond to ensure a great time was had by all. I highly recommend Fun over 50 and look forward to travelling with them again. Show details

Just home from an enjoyable Australia Day long weekend tour including Armidale & Tamworth. Our fabulous tour hosts Lyndall & Greg made it a very enjoyable fun time with many happy memories & experiences.

In spite of the weather, we had a funtastic Vic Rover Grand Tour with 'fun stars' crew Michelle and Simon! Their local knowledge, quirky humour, and care for ever person on the tour was outstanding. Looking forward to 2026 for my ninth trip with 'Fun Over 50's' ! Show details

Ron and Mary-Shane went on a Gold class Best of Western Australia tour. Tour host Leanne and coach captain Chris did an excellent job of all facets of the tour. Meals, accommodation, viewing places of interest and camaraderie amongst the group were handled exceptionally well. We rate the tour as a 'FUNSTARS' 5 star tour. Show details

Currently on the Floriade trip with Fun over 50 with Andrew and Vicki, it is a fantastic trip and both Vicki and Andrew are lovely and looked after us well, nothing was too much trouble. And a pleasure to travel with, great meals, great accommodation and great company. From a very happy Funstar. Jeanine Brown Show details

Marvellous! Two tours with Fun over 50 back to back, Sooo much fun, information, fabulous food, great accommodation. Wonderful guides and drivers. All inclusive except for alcohol, although free drinks were sometimes offered. What a wonderful adventure, meeting delightful people of similar ages but very diverse backgrounds. Highly recommend! I look forward to another as soon as I can. Show details
