SELF-GUIDED ADVENTURES IN AUSTRALIA

A Self-Guided holiday is a very liberating adventure. World Class Adventures can design trips that let you experience a region on your own terms. You are your own guide, so you can explore at your own leisure. Chat to locals, linger over lunch, or set off an hour earlier to catch the coolest part of the day. Pause or press on, the choice is up to you: cherry-pick your stops along the way, and you set the pace.  Support comes through local suppliers, with 24-hour emergency support while you travel.

Australia’s landscapes range from tropical rainforests to the red deserts of the Outback via vineyards, surf beaches and cosmopolitan cities. This really is a land of easy-going attitudes where active, outdoor lifestyles are celebrated and natural wonders abound.

In Australia you can watch kangaroos hop across beautiful pastures, spot koalas sleeping in gum trees or snorkel with schools of fish on the Great Barrier Reef. See saltwater crocodiles from a safe distance in their natural habitat, spot quokkas and watch Australian fur seals from the shore or a boat.

• Experience the wonder of a Big Sky Sunset over the spiritual Uluru, a vast sandstone monolith
• Scale the Sydney Harbour Bridge for views over the harbour and the opera house
• Get up close and personal with Nemo and his tropical fish mates on the great barrier reef
• Bottoms up on a visit to one of Margaret River's wineries in Western Australia
• Adventure to your heart’s content with adrenaline-fueled activities such as cycling, jetboating, bungee-jumping, skiing, and skydiving.

Whatever it is that draws you to Australia, let me take you there.

AUSTRALIA HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

With so many good reasons to visit Australia, like its diverse landscapes, friendly locals and a long list of impressive experiences to tick off, it’s clear why so many head there. It’s unbelievable size and vastness means that there is a little something for every kind of traveller, whether you are looking for an island getaway, a unique cultural experience, an adrenaline fix, to get in touch with nature or an all-round party.

• Dive the reefs, surf the waves, or try a sailing trip, white-water rafting adventure
• Discover exotic wildlife on hikes deep into lush tropical rainforests
• Road-trip into the red desert, far from the usual routes
• Dig your feet into the white sands, your teeth into some ‘tucker’ and gaze at dazzling sunsets from Kakadu national park in the ‘top end’
• It’s easy to leave the usual tourist routes behind and discover the wonders of this beautiful part of the world
• Take a Dreamtime walk with the indigenous people: stories of their way of life will leave you with life-long memories

With 30 years of adventure travel experience, I select operators who suit the way you want to travel. I remain independent, so I can recommend the package that fits your needs and budget. I compare options across the market so that you don’t have to, and give you honest and impartial advice.

I plan every holiday the same way. When I request quotes, I ask for locally owned accommodation and local guides where the itinerary allows, and I follow my Animal Welfare Policy on wildlife experiences. If your holiday includes flights, a payment to Sustainable Travel International is included in the price and cannot be opted out of. You can read the Traveller’s Pledge and the rest of my approach on my Responsible Travel page.
