Australia Eco Tours
With natural wonders like the Great Barrier Reef, the Daintree Rainforest, the Blue Mountains, Australia is an immense playground for nature lovers. The best way to experience this mighty country sustainably is on an Australian eco tour, which includes activities like snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef with a conservation expert and trekking the Outback with an indigenous guide. As you tour Australia, stay in eco-accredited and certified accommodations that have committed to reducing their carbon emissions, and travel overland in group transport to minimize your carbon footprint. An escorted tour in Australia is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint, as you will have a local guide to teach you about sustainable practices.

I left a review when I was in Broome staying a couple of extra nights at Cable Beach Resort.. they did have internet problems so maybe that is why my review has not been received??? The whole trip exceeded my expectations… I was sceptical about going on a bus trip again after one I did in Canada with Evergreen. I chose AAT Kings because they have been doing these tours for years! I couldn’t fault anything & would & have always highly recommend AAT Kings Nellie & Terry were fabulous & Nellies knowledge of the area is astounding!..They made the experience really enjoyable… Nellie helped me with another plane trip that I added while in Broome & I’m so glad I spoke to her about it as it was incredible.

Overall an excellent experience and trip. I was disappointed that the package I secured back in August 2025 was changed without notification to me. In the original package many meals were included, however during the trip I had to purchase several meals as they had been removed from the itinerary. Over $200 worth that should have been included.

This outback adventure in Australia was one of the best trips of my life and I have traveled a lot. The tour was well organized and run. The tour director was phenomenal. The outback itself was the best part of the trip though.
