Discover a different Australia
Our favourite Active Holiday experiences
If you like your holidays with a bit of heart-pumping adventure, Australia delivers in spades. Cycle through world-class wine regions, coastlines and countryside on a guided bike tour, where every trail comes with views (and often, vineyard stops).
Lace up your boots for the Great Walks of Australia – from the rugged wilderness of Tasmania’s Bay of Fires to the dramatic coastline of the 12 Apostles. These guided multi-day hikes combine nature, comfort, and cultural connection in equal measure.
Pack the clubs and tee off on one of the Great Golf Courses of Australia, playing championship greens set against dramatic coastal cliffs, desert backdrops or rolling fairways.
Whether you’re chasing challenge or just looking to move a little more while you explore, Australia’s wide-open spaces and legendary landscapes are ready when you are.

I’m Pete, the globetrotting geek. A passionate traveller who thrives on learning and discovery.
Travel provides an endless array of opportunities for this; it’s a way to experience new, ever changing and always exciting places, meet curious people and engross yourself in a different culture or witness wildlife that is truly wild.
Be it museums, historical landmarks, wildlife excursions or gaming havens – I revel in these aspects of adventure and love to share it with others.
To put it in other words.
Whether you seek the wonder of enchanted cities, the solitude of mystical forests, or the thrills of a perilous expedition, I am your trusted companion—your Gandalf, if you will—helping you navigate the world’s vastness and ensuring that your journey is free from worry and full of memories to last the ages.
Let’s together, chart your course through the lands, creating an adventure that will be sung about for years to come. As a wise halfling once said.

Having worked in the Travel Industry for 9 years and counting, I am incredibly passionate about detail and no trip is too small!
I have lived in London & Perth, both opening destinations for me to explore! My favourite trips to date were Greece and Thailand.
Every part of the process excites me, from simple flights, group holidays, to your bucket list trips!
I enjoy getting to know my clients and I understand that no detail is too small and warm prompt service is key to delivering great customer experiences.
