What travelers are saying

"Travelled in March 2024. This really was an excellent trip. The boat was nice, kept really clean and a very nice crew. It is not a cruise liner, but for me that's great. The cabins are not massive, but they have all you need. I have sailed quite a bit and there was more room than I'm used to or expected. The captain combined with our guide Hailam clearly new every inch of suitable reef and small island on the atolls. We were quite often the only boat at some of the snorkel spots and they were extraordinary. The sheer volume and variety of marine life was amazing. From the smallest fish, to turtles, moray eels, and the actual structure of the reefs, all brilliant. A personal highlight was swimming and being surrounded by nurse sharks, a memory that will stay with me. Hailam was a great tour leader. He had time for everyone, and aware of all of our levels of ability once in the water. We were well looked after. The boats cook provided us with three great meals a day. Super tasty and something for everyone. The crew caught tuna early one morning and that was incredible. The evening visit to a Bodu Beru performance is not normally my thing, but I really enjoyed it and it was good fun. A great trip. I knew it would be good, but in fact it was excellent and one of the best group trips I've done."

What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

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.
