Unforgettable Small Group Journeys Across Australia & New Zealand
From Tasmania’s wild frontiers to the deep calm of Milford Sound, these AAT Kings small group tours invite you to step off the beaten path and dive deeper into landscapes shaped by time, culture, and pure natural wonder.
Whether you’re seeking winding coastal roads, luminous night skies, ancient stories, or remote islands, these adventures showcase the best of Australia and New Zealand, with the ease, expertise, and local insight AAT Kings travellers love.
South Australian Outback Adventure
Vast, ancient, and wonderfully remote, the South Australian outback is a place that stays with you long after you’ve brushed the red dust off your boots.
On this 8-day fully guided experience, you’ll journey into the famed Flinders Ranges, where Wilpena Pound and Arkaroola reveal landscapes and wildlife found nowhere else on earth. Explore an International Dark Sky Sanctuary, where the Milky Way feels close enough to touch, and buckle up for a 4WD adventure through extraordinary geological formations.
Follow the legendary Oodnadatta Track, wander through an eerie ghost town frozen in time, and soar over Lake Eyre, Australia’s largest salt lake, glowing pink and white beneath you. Then dive underground, literally, in Coober Pedy, discovering mines, subterranean homes, and a way of life shaped by opal dreams.
This is the outback at its most dramatic and most unforgettable.

Broome and the Kimberley Highlights
Few places contrast so beautifully as Broome and the Kimberley. In just one week, you’ll journey from Broome’s powder white beaches and fiery sunsets to the Kimberley’s deep red earth and soaring ridgelines.
Begin in Broome, famous for its multicultural spirit, rich Indigenous culture, and the shimmering pearls that put the town on the map. Day one delivers the iconic sunset you’ve probably seen in postcards—only better.
Then it’s north to Kununurra, where the landscape opens into sweeping ridges, hidden waterholes, and some of Western Australia’s most striking terrain. You’ll fly over the Bungle Bungle Range, glimpse the storied Argyle Diamond Mine, and admire the vastness of Lake Argyle, a freshwater sea in the desert.
This tour delivers the true essence of the Kimberley—wild, warm, and wonderfully surprising.

Tasmania & Finders Island Explorer
f you’re drawn to places that feel untouched and quietly spectacular, Tasmania’s north-east is calling. This 6-day Small Group journey trades busy highways for coastal hamlets, historic towns, and artisan flavours that define this corner of the island.
Fly to remote Flinders Island, where clear waters meet rugged coastlines and life moves beautifully slow. Taste freshly caught seafood, meet passionate local makers, and soak in landscapes shaped by wind, sea and stories.
Then explore the iconic Bay of Fires, where orange-splashed boulders blaze against turquoise water, and discover the charm of Wineglass Bay and the region’s celebrated produce. It’s a journey for travellers who prefer the path less travelled without compromising on comfort or flavour.

Untamed New Zealand
New Zealand’s beauty is no secret but this journey from Auckland to Christchurch uncovers the stories, flavours, and local legends that make it truly unforgettable.
Sail through Milford Sound on an overnight cruise, watching waterfalls plunge from cliffs carved by glaciers. Experience the warmth of Māori culture in Rotorua, stroll the Art Deco streets of Napier with a local guide, and enjoy wine tasting at a boutique Wairarapa vineyard.
Along the way, meet the characters who bring New Zealand to life from fifth-generation beekeepers to the Pavlova Queen of Lake Tekapo. With a blend of aviation history, farm experiences, coastal views and alpine drama, this small group adventure showcases New Zealand at its most soulful.

Tasmania’s Wild Wonders
Tasmania’s west is wild, rugged, and rich with some of the world’s most spectacular temperate wilderness. This 7-day Small Group tour invites you to embrace nature at whatever pace feels right, adventurous or unhurried.
Discover the tranquillity of Russell Falls, wander the shores of Lake St Clair, and choose to hike picture-perfect Dove Lake beneath Cradle Mountain. Or simply sink into a fireside armchair with a glass of local wine—it’s your adventure, your way.
Cruise the mystical Gordon River, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and savour the tastes Tasmania is famous for: fresh seafood dinners, farm-to-fork lunches, artisanal cider and produce crafted with pride.
It’s a journey where every bite, view, and moment feels wonderfully remote and deeply rewarding.
