Tailored Journeys, Unforgettable Experiences
Our journeys provide memorable experiences, tailored to your interests and preferences.
Before we depart, we take the time to understand the experiences you are seeking and what matters to you. This ensures we maximise your enjoyment and make the most of your time in this incredibly diverse region.
Below are just some of the experiences we can incorporate into your journey.
- Luxe Experiences
Wildlife & Nature
We visit a diverse range of protected areas, including the Great Otway, Port Campbell, Budj Bim and Gariwerd (Grampians) National Parks. These remarkable landscapes support an abundance of native wildlife and plant species. Kangaroos are relatively common throughout the region, while koalas may be encountered in suitable habitats. Other wildlife we may view include echidnas, emus, Australian fur seals, a diverse range of birdlife and, with a little luck, even the elusive platypus.
You’ll also experience incredible cool-temperate rainforests, giant tree ferns, seasonal wildflowers and beautiful waterfalls.
All of our journeys provide opportunities to experience and observe native wildlife in its natural environment, with the flexibility to pause and enjoy memorable encounters when they arise.
We can also arrange visits to wildlife conservation parks, providing opportunities to observe some of the region’s lesser-seen native species.

Food and wine
The Great Southern region offers an exceptional food and wine experience, shaped by fertile farmland, a cool maritime climate and a strong connection to the land. From renowned local wines and artisan cheeses to premium seafood, native ingredients and seasonal produce, the region is rich in distinctive flavours.
Our journeys provide opportunities to discover award-winning vineyards, farm gates, whisky distillers, artisan producers, providores, berry farms and internationally recognised restaurants, with experiences tailored to your interests.
Whether enjoying a relaxed long lunch, tasting wines with a local producer or discovering the region’s finest seasonal produce, food and wine are an integral part of experiencing the character and generosity of the region.

Aboriginal Cultural Landscapes
For thousands of years, Aboriginal peoples have maintained a deep and enduring connection to Country.
Across South West Victoria, living cultural landscapes provide an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the continuing relationships between people, land, sea and sky.
With respect and acknowledgement of Traditional Owners, our journeys visit significant cultural landscapes and, where available, incorporate experiences with Traditional Owners and Aboriginal custodians.
These experiences offer meaningful insights into the continuing cultures, stories and connections to Country that have shaped this region for generations.

Spa and wellness
The Great Southern region provides a natural setting for rest, relaxation and renewal. From luxurious spa treatments and wellness retreats to mineral springs, coastal relaxation and peaceful nature-based experiences, the region offers many ways to slow down and reconnect.
Our journeys can incorporate carefully selected spa and wellness experiences, allowing guests to balance exploration with time to relax and unwind. Whether enjoying a restorative treatment, soaking in mineral-rich waters or simply taking time to breathe in the tranquillity of the coast and forest, wellness can be an integral part of your journey.
