Tailormade Tours - Australia

Sydney-based tour operator specialising in tailor-made safaris and outback adventures

Beautiful and vast, Australia provides something for everyone. You can chill out on remote sands like 40 Mile Beach, scuba dive on the world-class Great Barrier Reef, learn about its indigenous culture, swim with sea lions, camp in the magnificent outback, sample fine wine and excellent dining in its cosmopolitan cities, experience life on a cattle station, or enjoy outdoor sports and adventure activities. And with so much to choose from, it pays for a local tour operator to advise you and make arrangements.

We've chosen to work with Wilderness Australia because of their specialist knowledge of off-the-beaten-track Australia, their imaginative and diverse itineraries, and their portfolio of accommodation. The safari locations can be remote, often wild, and difficult to reach. But transport is made as easy and comfortable as possible with sturdy air-conditioned vehicles, and the option of helicopter / light-aircraft transfers or boat trips. Many tours incorporate a short journey by canoe or on foot to get into the heart of the wilderness.

And their guides are conservationists in their own right, always local, and eager to share their expertise and passion for Australia’s natural and cultural heritage - be it cooking witchetty grubs with Aboriginal people, or showing you budgerigars flashing past like aerial shoals of fish.
