Why go private?
Private group travel is for travellers who seek cultural experience, group or family bonding adventure, an educational adventure or just plain fun in the great outdoors without having to compete with the interests of travellers who may have different objectives to your own. Here are some of the reasons you might wish to organise a private group:
-
Perfect for friends and special-interest groups
Private departures are ideal for family, friends, work, social teams, clubs and other groups who share special interests like walking and travel. Let our experts take care of all the planning and logistics, while you and your group enjoy your private wilderness adventure.
-
Tailored itineraries
We provide private departures on any of our regular itineraries, usually based on a minimum group of paying passengers (depending on the trip). Want to personalize your trip to really make it yours? A private departure of any existing itinerary includes all the advantages of travelling with Australian Walking Holidays, with the ability to tailor the trip to your own needs and wants. Plus, you get to enjoy our daily experiences, the best of travelling companions and our guides, who know your destinations inside and out.
-
Individual Itineraries
Our expertise helps makes your adventure come to life literally. We will liaise closely with you to work out the best people places and things to visit, the right time to visit them and what you’ll need to take with you along the way. Whatever your group size, we’ll design the inclusions that suit your unique needs. All your trip logistics are taken care of by us, from including excellent local guides each day, to organising permits, local transport, conservation, cultural or philanthropic experiences and much more. Your group will be left free to focus on the destinations, sharing the excitement of new discoveries and the pleasures of time spent together.
