What travelers are saying

"The trip was absolutely incredible! As an Aussie, I was excited to explore parts of my own country I hadn’t visited before, and it turned out to be such a rewarding experience. I learned so much, particularly about First Nations culture, which was a major highlight for me. Some activities that I initially didn’t expect to enjoy ended up being surprisingly memorable. For instance, I’ve always disliked art classes because of my perfectionist tendencies, but the included Aboriginal art class ended up being one of the standout moments of the trip. If you’re considering this trip, my advice is to go in with an open mind. Push yourself to try new things—you’re unlikely to get another opportunity like this—but also remember to pace yourself. It’s just as important to schedule downtime to rest and recharge so you can fully enjoy the experience. The people in my Contiki group were absolutely amazing, which added so much to the trip. I do wish there were more days spent in Byron Bay, or even an alternative trip focused more on beachy, nature-based destinations rather than city stops—but both aspects of the itinerary had their own appeal. This trip is also fantastic for giving you a sense of which places you’d like to revisit and spend more time exploring in the future. A special shoutout to our trip manager, who was phenomenal and really elevated the whole experience. Her knowledge of plants, history, and culture gave me a deeper appreciation for the places we visited, which made the journey even more meaningful. She was very organised and told us exactly what we needed to know in little amounts so that it wasn't information overload. Overall, it was an unforgettable adventure, and I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat!"

What travelers are saying

"I did the EBC trek with Intrepid in September and October. Our group missed the first 3 days of the planned 12 day trek due to bad weather. There was a real fear we would not be able to do the trek at all. Intrepid sorted out additional accommodation and flights once we were able to fly. Our group made it to EBC by missing the 2 acclimation days on the accent and descending in 3 days instead of 4. This was only possible because of the awesome staff (guides and porters) employed by Intrepid and by Intrepid's backroom staff making alternative accommodation and flight arrangements for us."

What travelers are saying

"Visions of Japan was our first international trip ever, so we were nervous, but as it turns out, we had no reason to be - everything went so smoothly! Our guide was wonderful and knowledgeable, the driver was skilled, and the hotels were beautiful. All the stops were fun and amazing. It was a great 'get your feet wet' tour of Japan. I highly recommend it! You're in good hands with Globus."

Different Ways to Tour Australia 

Explore Australia through various means of travel, each offering a unique perspective on this vast and diverse land. 

  • Cruises: Embark on a scenic cruise along Australia's coastline, exploring destinations like the Great Barrier Reef and Sydney Harbour. Companies like Princess Cruises offer itineraries that visit iconic ports such as Melbourne, Brisbane, and Cairns.
  • Driving Tours: Hit the open road on a self-drive adventure, traversing iconic routes like the Great Ocean Road or the Red Centre Way. Rent a car from reputable companies and explore at your own pace, stopping to admire natural wonders like Uluru or stunning coastal vistas.
  • Train Journeys: Experience the beauty of Australia's landscapes from the comfort of a train carriage. The Indian Pacific train journey traverses the continent from Sydney to Perth, offering luxurious accommodations and breathtaking views of the Outback. Alternatively, explore the lush rainforests of Queensland aboard the Kuranda Scenic Railway, winding through the UNESCO-listed Barron Gorge National Park.
Souvenirs from Australia

Buying souvenirs from a destination allows us to take a piece of our vacation home. While Australia may appear similar to the U.S. or England, this vast country has its own unique features you may want to take home with you. 

  1. Opals: Australia is known for having some of the best opals in the world. They are of high quality and make for a great gift. 
  2. Tim Tams: A true Australian treat, Tim Tams are chocolate-covered biscuits often paired with Australia's favorite beverage, coffee. 
  3. Vegemite: One of Australia's more interesting food choices, Vegemite is a thick black spread used for toast. It is an acquired taste, and those who have never tasted it may find it tart and tangy.
  4. Boomerangs: We all have seen the movies of Aussies throwing boomerangs, but they are one of the country's most famous icons and a pretty neat object to take home with you.
  5. UGG Boots: The most famous souvenir is sheepskin UGG boots worn around the country. They are primarily used indoors in Australia as slippers and not for outdoors, but wear switched when they gained popularity in other parts of the world.
