Touring Australia can be like visiting several different countries at once; with sweltering summer heats and chilling winter snow to sophistication, class and the great Aussie outback, the options seem endless. Make the most out of your next holiday and explore Australia the right way.

Walking & Hiking Tours

Whether you want to take a leisurely stroll through the breathtaking Australian bushland or opt for a more adventurous hiking tour through the great Australian outback, this is surely one of the best ways to get up close and personal with all that Australia has to offer. Travelling around the Northern Territory, an unforgettable experience is a hiking expedition through the West MacDonnell Ranges, just a hop, skip and a jump from the town of Alice Springs. Don’t miss out on seeing one of the great world wonders, by booking yourself in for a walking tour of the world renowned Uluru.
For a more leisurely look at the beauty of Australia, take a walking tour around Maria Island, located in picturesque Tasmania. This magnificent walking tour offers visitors an insight into the true splendour of Australian wildlife, with pristine beaches and historical Blue gum forests. A walking tour is the perfect activity for any Australian holiday, whether you are travelling solo, with your family or as a couple.

Go Cruising

Whether you are searching for a quaint cruise along one of Australia’s most infamous rivers, or looking for the adventure of a lifetime as you scale the Australian coastline, cruising can often be one of the best ways to explore all that Australia has to offer. Most Australian cruises vary in length from a day trip right through to month long expeditions. Choose to explore just a piece of Australia with a Kimberley River cruise or plan a longer journey and explore the northern Australian coastline from Sydney through to Perth, with numerous stops along the way. Cruising is the perfect option for the traveller who wants undefined luxury and comfort, but still wants to explore all of the wonders of Australia.

Rail Journeys

Rail travel is one of the best ways to see the Australian countryside. Don’t bother yourself with the sweltering Australian heat and humidity, as you ride in air-conditioned comfort for the entirety of journey. From Adelaide to Darwin, The Ghan will take you on a magnificent adventure through the Red Centre right up to The Top End. The Northern Territory is home to some of the most famous tourist attractions in the world, and the safest way to experience these is by climbing aboard a train for the ‘Rock and Rail’ tour. One of the greatest journeys in the world, the ‘Rock and Rail’ will depart Adelaide and take you on a magical journey through the Red Centre, leaving you in awe of the enormity of Uluru, whilst continuing on to the breathtaking views of The Top End of Australia. If the outback isn’t really your thing, the Indian Pacific can take you on an unforgettable journey from Sydney to Adelaide, passing the great Murray River on the way.

Whether you are the adventurous type, prefer to travel in style or simply want to get the most out of your Australia holiday, consider booking in for a walking tour, a cruise or a rail adventure for the perfect Aussie expedition.
