Choosing an Australian-based company means you’re not just another traveller—you’re exploring the world with people who actually get you. From your sense of humour to your travel style, we understand what makes Aussies tick—because we're Aussies ourselves. Our tours are designed for Australians, by Australians.
When you travel with a local company like us, you're not just booking a tour—you’re joining a community that speaks your lingo, shares your values and knows exactly what you expect from an unforgettable adventure.
Here are just a few good reasons why going local matters.
1. We're a long way from everywhere
For us, popping over to Europe or Africa is a serious investment—in time, money, and energy. So when we go, we want it to be worth it. That means well-planned itineraries, central hotels, knowledgeable guides, and enough downtime to enjoy each moment. We’re definitely not after a whirlwind holiday, we want the full experience.

2. We get more holidays (and we make them count!)
In many parts of the world, travellers only get two weeks or less of annual leave—no wonder they rush to cram in the sights! But here in Australia, we enjoy longer holidays, and when we travel, we like to do it properly. That means spending quality time in each destination (hello multi-night stays!), going beyond the tourist sites and really soaking in the local culture.
3. We have incredible beaches at home
Let’s face it, we’re spoilt when it comes to beaches. From the Gold Coast to Broome, we’ve got pristine sand and surf in our own backyard. So when we travel overseas, we’re not necessarily looking for more beach time. We're drawn to rich history, fascinating cultures and authentic experiences you just can’t find at home.

4. We’ve got an adventurous spirit
There’s a bit of Mick Dundee in most Aussies—a curiosity about the world and a confidence to explore it. Whether it’s trying new foods, navigating local markets, or heading off the beaten path, we’re not afraid to uncover something different. But we also appreciate a well-organised tour—as long as there’s room to wander off and make our own discoveries now and then.
5. We like to be informed
We’re not the type to just follow the flag and nod along. Australians like to know what’s going on, understand the 'why' behind things, and have our individual needs considered. We’ll speak up if something’s not right—and we appreciate guides who are clear, open and well-organised.

6. We have a unique sense of humour
Australians are known for being relaxed, friendly and generally up for a laugh. We appreciate a tour that’s run professionally, but we also love a bit of banter and someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously. Just don’t be surprised if our jokes don’t always land the same way overseas!
While there’s no such thing as a 'typical' Aussie traveller, there are certainly shared traits that influence the way we like to explore the world. So when it comes to planning your next adventure, it makes sense to travel with a company that truly understands the Australian way—and more importantly, your way.
