CLASSIC ESCORTED JOURNEYS   
These programs will allow you to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery Australia has to offer, its natural diversity and unique attractions. Savor the beauty of Sydney, view the magnificent coral and sea-life of the Great Barrier Reef, learn about Aboriginal culture and art and explore the natural mysteries of Ayers Rock (Uluru) in the Northern Territory and Western Australia’s prehistoric Bungle Bungle range. All itineraries are inclusive of first class hotel accommodation, most meals, transfers, sightseeing, professional Tour Directors and road travel on a luxury fleet of motor-coaches driven by professional and experienced drivers.

HOSTED ITINERARIES  
For those wanting the advantage of a group rate without joining a group, here you will find some itinerary suggestions. They combine services in different cities inclusive of accommodation, transfers and some regular sightseeing (when you join other visitors on a particular city or area tour) but there is no tour escort or regimentation and most of the time is totally independent for you to enjoy as you like.

CRUISES  
Scuba divers and snorkelers come from across the globe to see the underwater splendors of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, but you can also take a great weekend cruise from the great city of Sydney, home of the 2000 Olympic Games, or explore the untamed northwest. A fundamental part of Australia's heritage was founded on the Murray and paddle-steamers were the lifeline to pioneers who lived on the driest continent on earth, today the Murray Princess still sets sail for the ultimate riverboat adventure

TRAIN JOURNEYS  
The rail network in Australia is home to some of the world’s truly great rail journeys. The epic Indian Pacific traverses the continent from east to west coasts. The Legendary Ghan takes you into the wondrous Red centre of Australia. The Sunlander and Tilt Train travels the length of Queensland’s rainforest and coral fringed coast.
