Witness Australia’s cultures and natural majesty alongside fellow solo travelers.

On this Solo Tour, you’ll soak up the sights, learn from the Aboriginals, and bond with your fellow solo travelers. From exploring the metropolitan, coastal gems of Sydney and Melbourne to spotting manta rays while you cruise the pristine waters of the Whitsunday Islands, to being welcomed with an ancient ceremony led by an Aboriginal guide at Airlie Beach, this itinerary serves up a diverse array of Australian adventures.
