View Profile

when Marion Bunnik started Bunnik Tours, Australia didn’t need another tour company - it needed a better way of touring!

In an industry dominated by large multinationals and mass tourism, Bunnik Tours stands alone. Our aim is simple, to provide a better way for Australians to see the world.

We do this by creating a series of unique holiday experiences:

Small group tours of no more than 20 specifically designed for Australian travellers to capture the essence of the places we visit.

Tours that provide the perfect balance between organised sightseeing and free time for independent discovery.

Holidays that visit the famous attractions but also wander off the tourist trail.

As a family business we understand that our family’s name and reputation is at stake every time we sell a holiday. That’s why we’re proud to call these tours our own.

For us it’s about the passion of travel and discovery and we’d love to share that with you.

Happy travelling!

Dennis, Marion & Sacha Bunnik
