Went on the Oz ten day trip with Shannon and had the absolute best time, I could not fault the trip whatsoever! I could not recommend a better tour leader or group. Shannon brought so much life and fun every single day. So if your thinking about going with intro travel, just do it and hope you get to do your trip with Shannon ¸

Came to Australia on my own and felt immediately included as part of the group. All my tour leaders were engaging and really helped guide me with my experience.
Would highly recommend using this company and will likely do so myself again in the future!

I must say that I throughly enjoyed my South Western Escape tour with AAT Kings bus company. Why, you say? Well… let’s start with the people they employ. People like Margaret, our tour guide and Mark, our driver. Such professional people who ensure the comfort and quality of the tour is their number one priority. Nothing was too big or small a request for these two to get right in there and give a helping hand. Then there’s the bus itself! Modern, clean and comfortable, with wide windows for picture taking and I shouldn’t forget the charging ports on board. Videos that relate to particular steps are shown to increase your awareness of what is coming up.
Great accomodation, comfortable, clean, that are well positioned in the towns and cities you visit. There is a variety of meals to be had and every one of them were of a good standard and quality. Lastly, and it is by no means last, is the itinerary, which is really the reason that you wanted to go in the first place. Everything down to the last item is timed perfectly and meticulously planned. The information provided is most interesting and I found myself listening with baited breathe. There’s only one thing wrong that I can mention and that’s the last evening meal together. It means that you have to say good bye to the friends you’ve made along the way. However, sometimes, like me, you may meet up again with them on the next AAT trip that you take!
Don’t wait, join an AAT Kings bus holiday today as you’ll never be this young again in your life! I did and I had a ball.

Imagine floating alongside majestic humpback whales in the crystal-clear waters of Tonga—"Tonga Whale Encounters" delivers this once-in-a-lifetime experience. This 10-day guided whale watching tour starts and ends in Tongatapu, with time spent in Ha'apai, offering three exhilarating days of whale swimming safaris. Led by seasoned experts, each excursion reveals the wonders of these gentle giants, from their graceful underwater movements to the haunting beauty of their songs.
Beyond the marine adventure, you’ll have ample time to relax on pristine beaches, snorkel vibrant reefs, and enjoy paddleboarding or kayaking. Two complimentary days at your Ha'apai Resort give you the chance to unwind, while an off-grid sustainability tour introduces you to innovative eco-friendly practices—think solar power, composting, and hydroponic gardens.
The tour’s timing coincides with the whales’ annual migration (July–October), and several group departures are available, with private and tailor-made options for those seeking a more personalized journey.
What truly sets this trip apart is its intimate access to Tonga’s marine wonders and its commitment to sustainability, offering an adventure that’s both exhilarating and meaningful. If you’re drawn to wildlife encounters and idyllic island escapes, this tour package is your passport to unforgettable memories in the South Pacific.
