Discover the wonders of this vibrant country, where diverse cultures and ever-changing landscapes await. Dive into the jewel-toned waters of the Great Barrier Reef, roam the rugged wilderness of the west coast, and wander through the ancient beauty of the World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest. Visit the iconic Uluru and nearby Kata Tjuta, or immerse yourself in one of Intrepid's First Nations experiences to connect with the world’s oldest living culture. Whether you're traveling with family or friends, exploring solo, seeking adventure, chasing the sun, indulging in gourmet delights, or savoring fine wines, Australia is ready to welcome you with open arms.

 

Whether you're looking for a lengthier tour or just a shorter one to add to your travels Intrepid Travel has an adventure for you!

  

Why Intrepid?

Intrepid groups are small enough to feel like you’re exploring a destination independently but big enough to create a good social vibe. Group size will vary depending on where and how you’re traveling, but the average group size is about 12 - perfect to let you connect with the people you meet without feeling like you’re just a face in a crowd. Over the years, Intrepid has developed several trip styles and a wider range of themes to cater to a diverse range of travelers. Ask about what trip style best suits you.
