Australia Eco Tours

This was a marvellous trip. The 🚌was very capable and comfortable; the driver was excellent; the guide was incredible and the route was amazing. All accomodation and food was good. I would have no reservations in recommending AAT-Kings for this trip to anyone considering travelling to the SA outback - particularly this year (2026) as the heavy rains have promoted growth and life not seen for a generation.

We weren't too sure about travelling in a coach, but the urge to see Lake Eyre in full flood was stronger and AAT Kings SA Outback Adventue was the perfect trip to do so. The communications were frequent and helpful, the paperwork explaining the trip and the sights we would see was informative. And then there were our guides Anna and Terry (Driver). They, together with our fellow travellers, made the trip so much fun and enjoyable. Cannot thank them enough! Every aspect of the trip was good, from the travel spiel, to the places we visited, the people we travelled with, the people we met along the way, the sights you see (amazing!!!!), and the food you eat. Every time we hear Sweet Caroline from here on in will remind us of this wonderful trip. And you know your trip was the best when you really don't want to farewell your fellow travellers and your guides.

We very much enjoyed our vacation in Australia and particularly appreciated all the effort and knowledge offered by Tony, our guide. We were thankful for his help when Dianne had a minor injury as he got us help and still kept the other travelers on course. Enjoyed it all and maybe most of all, the Great Barrier Reef experience.

This was a bucket list trip that we very much enjoyed. You never realize how large Australia is until you have to be on 11 airplanes for your trip. The trip to Uluru was very good, however, we felt like the order of travel could have been better arranged as we lost two days of travel getting there and back. The camel ride was excellent. We very much enjoyed Sydney, the Opera House, the bridge climb, and the national aboriginal guide that shared much information. Carin’s was a great experience, as scuba diving on the great barrier reef was a life list fulfilled. We are experienced divers and would have liked to have had a better experience there. Melbourne was beautiful and we so much enjoyed everything we did there. Wayne, our guide, gave us excellent suggestions as to things to see on our own. We loved New Zealand and would like to return there at some point. The flight that we took over the glaciers to return to our hotel was disappointing as our pilot did not share anything that we could see. We loved Mount Cook and that complete experience overnight. Wayne was so very knowledgeable in sharing everything about Australia and New Zealand. We also did the extension to Fiji. The Crowne Plaza resort was lovely, the excursions showed the Third World country that Fiji is. Fiji is a beautiful place, but it was not at all what I expected. The captain Cook excursion there was very nice. We also did scuba on that excursion, which was also disappointing. All in all, it was a beautiful trip that we are glad we experienced.

The tour was very enjoyable. Meeting great people enjoying nice meals and wine. The Great Ocean road was a great experience also the Remarkable rocks and Admirable Arch on Kangaroo island. The Tour Operator was excellent and attentive to people's needs. This is my second tour with AAT Kings and would tour with them again.

The logistics involved in moving 50 people across 3 cities with flights and hotels seems impossible. But AAT kings and our guide Tony made it seem easy. Culture, history, humour, planes, trains and automobiles. We loved the whole experience. Thank you Tony our amazing guide and the whole behind the scenes team.
