AUSTRALASIA
WILDERNESS CAMPSITES
G'DAY, HALO, OLOKETA
Encompassing Australia, Papua New Guinea and the surrounding Pacific Islands, Australasia is a region of overwhelming beauty and variety, and one that is superbly suited to outdoor adventuring.
Trek, cycle, climb or kayak your way through spectacular landscapes from sunburnt outback, ancient rainforests and pounding surf beaches to snowcapped volcanoes, fjords and glaciers. Tackle famous hiking trails including the Overland Track, Jatbula or the Larapinta Trail, try rafting in Tasmania or cycle through some of the region’s most inspiring landscapes.
Head to Fiji’s Yasawa Islands or Tonga’s Vava’u island group for an unforgettable kayak expedition, paddling between some of the world’s most beautiful and secluded islands. Discover sea caves, deserted islands and azure waters filled with colourful sea life, camping on a new beach each night.
Cruise the tropical islands, lagoons and coral reefs of the Solomon Islands, or test your mettle on the historic Kokoda Track, retracing history as you trek through dense lowland rainforest and remote highlands across the heart of PNG.
Take a look at our Australasian adventures and join us as we explore the unique flora, fauna, landscapes and cultures of this very special region!
