“I literally loved every second of the tour! I was nervous before coming but Will and Poppy were amazing and made the whole week easy yet so much fun! My favourite part of the week was Port Stephens, I could never leave. As a whole this trip was great value for money and Ive made some incredible friends Thanks for an amazing week!”

“Our group leader Laura was the best! We had an amazing time in Thailand, it was so much fun to get to experience the many sides of this country and all it has to offer. It was completely stress free and you can tell that all the staff work really hard. My best bits was playing volleyball on the beach (Nancy bosses on the court) and going on the nights out. It wouldnt be complete without a special mention to Dave the dopey dog, hes keeping it real 24/7.”

“Amazing introduction to Australia.The surf lessons at Port Stephens, sand boarding, seeing kangaroos, BBQs with the crew, and dolphin spotting were great experiences for us who were looking for a more authentic Australian trip. The group leaders were amazing at assisting us in booking our onward travel for the conclusion of the trip. Overall an amazing trip that I highly recommend.”

Travel tips for Australia Explorer Tours
Pick an itinerary to align with your passions. From winery tours to nature escapades and wildflower-spotting stints, our Australia explorer tours cater to every interest.
Don’t try to see everything in one trip. Australia is almost as big as the contiguous United States, so it’s best to focus on one region at a time.
Make sure to check the weather. Australia can get stiflingly hot and bone-chillingly cold. The rule of thumb is to head north in winter and south in summer.
Let your tour operator know about any special requirements in advance. Most of our Australia explorer tours can cater to various requests.
