A century ago, the Australian outback was but a twinkle in most travellers\u2019 eyes.\u00a0<\/p>

But thanks to visionaries like the Pyke family and Bill King, the way we explore the Land Down Under was about to change in unimaginable ways. Over the coming decades, maps were unfolded, desert cruisers and coaches were customised, and guides were trained. From humble beginnings, the company now known as AAT Kings was going places few had gone before, pioneering new paths across Australia and New Zealand and taking intrepid domestic and international travellers on a wild and wonderful ride.\u00a0<\/p>

No corner of the Antipodes was \u2013 or is \u2013 off-limits, from the remote reaches of the Kimberley and spiritual heartland of the Red Centre, to the untamed Milford Sound, bubbling thermal Rotorua and quiet shores of Tasmania. Not to mention in-depth journeys across Sydney and its surrounds, where this forward-thinking travel venture came to fruition all those years ago.\u00a0<\/p>

We\u2019ve come a long way and clocked a few kilometres in the process. But some things will never change. Like our spirit for adventure. Our oh-so-knowledgeable Travel Directors. The local characters we meet (and will never forget) along the way. The epic, goosebumpinducing stories we\u2019re told by First Nations guides.\u00a0 The life-changing experiences on offer \u2013 the kind that only 100 years of exploring affords.\u00a0<\/p>

Now, we\u2019re just jumping into more waterfalls, finding ourselves humbled by more sacred sites, laying more footprints on deserted beaches and hiking through more tropical rainforests than ever before. And we\u2019ve never been more passionate about our next discovery. Join us, and fall in love with Australia and New Zealand all over again.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
