Australia Holidays
Travel Styles: Land, Air or Sea
At APT, we understand that one holiday does not fit all. So, we’ve created APT travel styles; a selection of ways you can see the world. Some go slowly, some go faster, and sometimes we even mix a travel style or two into the one journey. What’s more, we often offer multiple travel styles in the one destination, ensuring your experience is perfectly aligned with why you want to go, your interests, and your fitness level.

Live the Dream. The Stories Behind Our Australian Tours
Discover South Australia's Coastline
Mark Chipperfield discovers the spectacular scenery and captivating stories of coastal and outback South Australia. With its stunning coastline, big skies, rolling farmland, well-tended vineyards, historic settlements and iconic outback destinations, South Australia is the obvious choice for anyone in search of a classic Aussie road trip.
Australia's Aerial Views by Private Jet
See Australia from the skies by Private Jet and enjoy a world of new travel opportunities. Images may speak louder than words, and sometimes they present us with views that beggar belief and make your soul soar.
Our Outback Towns
Queensland’s classic outback towns embody the great Australian frontier spirit. From Mount Isa to Longreach, Winton to Charters Towers, here’s how to get a genuine taste of the Aussie bush, writes Lee Atkinson.
Australia's Top 5 4WD Tracks
Leave the bitumen for the dirt and explore remote Australia on an APT 4WD adventure. From the country’s northern tip to its desert interior, these epic trails will reveal the sheer beauty of the Outback and reward those who dare to drive on.
Kimberley Tides
From Montgomery Reef to Horizontal Falls, the tropical tides of the Kimberley provide some of Western Australia’s greatest sights.
Explore Tasmania's Wilderness Heritage
It almost seems unfair how much of Australia’s unspoilt wilderness is concentrated in tiny Tasmania. Troy Evans examines the history of its spectacular landscapes, their earliest arrivals, and the beauty that has long endured thanks to its relative isolation.
Meet the Maker
Josef Chromy is one of Tasmania’s most famous winemakers and his is a tale of remarkable success built from the despair of a country under siege. Lara Picone talks to Josef Chromy about his life and times.
Cape York Calling
There’s nothing like a small ship for making the most of an ocean voyage. Limited passenger numbers, intimate onboard spaces, Zodiacs for speedy exploration, and most of all, the manoeuvrability to cruise into small ports and harbours. And the MS Caledonian Sky, which will operate trips for APT in Australian waters in 2021 and beyond, fits the very definition of boutique, writes Gary Walsh..
