Itineraries

The Outback is a complex range of environments that exist within the inland and tropical regions of the Australian continent. This itinerary encompasses three distinct and diverse Outback regions, each home to an exceptional luxury lodge or camp experience that offer a very personal connection to this vast land, the wilderness, its wildlife, the culture and the people of the Australian outback.

The 3000km journey from Adelaide to Darwin takes you along the intrepid route of the 1862 European explorer John McDouall Stuart, albeit with the luxury of a sealed highway. Toast to your adventure with a glass of Barossa Valley wine and wind your way north as the vineyards roll into the edges of the outback.

To think of Australia, means to think water, endless surf beaches, wild seas, sparkling harbours, reef systems visible from space, rivers, floodplains, magical inland lakes and more. This itinerary highlights Australia’s coastline, reefs and floodplains – water-influenced regions that play an important role in defining the character of the nation and offer a myriad of adventures and experiences.

Twitchers are spoilt for choice in Australia with over 800 species of birds enabling the country to stake a strong claim to be the world’s greatest hotspot of bird endemism. Many of the species are easy to observe due to their charismatic and colourful physiques and beautiful song.

Australia’s luxury barefoot paradises are exclusive by virtue of their remoteness, their special location and the small number of guests they accommodate at any one time. They offer privacy, outstanding experiences and a sense of understated luxury and romance to ensure your honeymoon is the most memorable holiday of a lifetime.

The aim of this itinerary is to entice, inspire and connect guests to the outback, bush and desert through experiences that are quintessentially Australian. The true luxury here is in the private exclusivity of the camps and lodges, and the rare privilege of being in these places.

The Australian landscape today is a map of the spirits’ journeys and stories handed down through the generations often through song and dance. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander hosts and guides are keen to share their stories and give an insight into their cultures, which is often delivered with an engaging humour and deeply moving perspective.

From the world’s largest fringing coral reef to one of the last great wildernesses, this itinerary showcases Australia’s incredible biodiversity. Experience the contrasting colours and unique wildlife from whale sharks and turtles, to dingoes and the endangered black-footed rock wallaby, crocodiles and endemic birdlife.

Connect with uniquely Australian wildlife in the Top End and Kimberley wilderness – reminders of the pure wonder of nature. Australia is a place of exceptional natural beauty where our diverse landscapes and waterways provide sanctuary for Australia’s wondrous wildlife. With the continent accommodating more than 20,000 plant species and 2,300 animal and bird species, many of these endemic, this itinerary encourages complete immersion in Australia’s pristine natural environments and the ability to get up close and personal with our unique wildlife.
