Organized freedom mini-itineraries:

Sydney & Blue Mountains World Heritage Area.
Explore Sydney’s colorful neighborhoods, bustling waterways and beautiful beaches then head for the hills. Just two hours away, the Blue Mountains are home to a network of trails through a vast wilderness and several picturesque, small towns. (Recommended minimum time: 5 days).

Perth, Margaret River & the Southern Forests.
Western Australia’s laid-back capital city Perth enjoys wonderful weather and a great food and arts scene. Further south, the long coastal stretches and wide-open spaces of Margaret River and the Southern Forests are gaining renown as a world-class destination for foodies and hikers. (Recommended minimum time: 5 days).

Alice Springs & Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
At the crossroads of the Outback, Alice Springs retains the feel of a dusty frontier-town. Make time to view the indigenous-art galleries and ride the Simpson’s Gap bike-path before driving to Uluru, heartland of Australia’s Aboriginal culture. Unique geological features and ancient rock-art sites are naturally illuminated each sunrise and sunset. (Recommended minimum time: 5 days).

Daintree Rainforest & the Great Barrier Reef.
The tropical far north of Queensland is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Areas: Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. Immerse yourself in these magnificent natural environments, encounter unique wildlife and cruise the coastal highway from Cairns to Cape Tribulation. (Recommended minimum time: 5 days).

Darwin & Kakadu National Park.
Australia’s northernmost city Darwin has a tropical climate that encourages a relaxed, outdoor lifestyle. The region’s multi-cultural make-up is reflected in the multitude of ethnic eateries and bustling night-markets. At nearby Kakadu National Park hike with indigenous guides to see rock-art 25,000 years old, boat across waterways bursting with wildlife and swim in natural pools at the foot of towering waterfalls. (Recommended minimum time: 5 days).

Melbourne & Tasmania.
Stylish, edgy, food-obsessed Melbourne can lay claim to being Australia's sporting, cultural and culinary capital. Off the south coast, the deceptively-large island of Tasmania has long been known for its rugged, unspoiled wilderness. Travelers today are equally drawn by the island’s flourishing artisanal food and cultural scene. (Recommended minimum time: 6 days).

See Australia independently - unguided but fully supported - with our alternative to group-travel: organized freedom.

We'll tailor your itinerary and handle all the logistics. We’ll supply you with detailed notes for each day. Once your trip is underway we’ll stay in support as needed. We call this 'virtual-guiding'.

Specialist local guides might be involved now and then - for example, for a Great Barrier Reef trip or a hike to an indigenous rock-art site. At other times you’ll be on your own but with us on-call as your virtual guides, always within reach by phone or email.

'Organized freedom' means we’ll keep things organized so you’re free to enjoy the journey.

How it works:

Step one: 
Sketch out your Australian dream-trip combining your ‘must-see’ hit-list with one or more of our Organized Freedom mini-itineraries.

Step two: 
Email us to request your personalised itinerary. We'll need to know:

  • how many people will be in your group, along with ages, interests, levels of fitness;
  • when you want to travel, where you want to go and how much time you have available;
  • what type of accommodation you prefer (anything is possible, from 5-star hotels to farm-stays, nature lodges, backpacker hostels, vacation homes, etc.);
  • how you want to travel (self-drive car, public transport, chauffeur-driven service);
  • what activities you'd like to include (eg: hiking, biking, sea-kayaking, food and wine tours, etc.);
  • what attractions you'd like to see (farmers' markets, art galleries and museums, wildlife parks, etc.).

Step three: 
We'll combine your ideas with our local knowledge to come up with a tailor-made itinerary.

Step four:
Together we'll fine-tune the plan to get it just right, then we'll put it into action. As you travel you'll have our full support.
