    Fantastic adventure with Nelson on Straddie! It's the perfect explorer 4x4 for Straddie. Remarkably easy to drive on road and offroad, has all the items on board for camping (or glamping) you just have to bring your clothes, hat, suncream, books and some beach games. Communication and support from Horizon Adventure Co was outstanding. Will definitely rent again to explore more of this beatiful island so close to Brisbane. I can not highly recommend this experience enough! Just do it!

    We took Nelson during Christmas and it was a memorable experience. It a super comfortable drive and perfect for off road adventures. It has power to take you on any adventure. If you take Nelson for a drive then a be little patient with it as it's an old car and things are not always smooth. But Nelson is an experience that you will never forget. The bed is comfortable and you can just pull over and sleep anywhere you desire. Plenty of space for the luggage as well. They have provided everything you need including basic ingredients and utensils. Zac and Holly are lovely couple. Very easy to communicate. I will definitely recommend any one who wants an epic adventure that you will never get anywhere else.
