Description

Rail travel is perhaps the most romantic and memorable way of exploring Australia, allowing you to appreciate the vast scale and grand landscapes of this extraordinary country in luxurious comfort. Australia’s iconic trains - the Ghan, the Indian Pacific and the Sunlander - cover thousands of kilometres along coastlines and through the beautiful but forbidding ‘red centre’. This superb rail tour includes specially upgraded services on all three trains, and embraces highlights of Australia’s diverse cities, with stays in Sydney, Adelaide, Cairns and Brisbane, and the opportunity to discover the natural wonders of Uluru and the Great Barrier Reef.

What our travellers are saying

Beat my expectations

Expectations were to see lakes and mountains. But with National Park Traveller's help there was something to do everywhere we turned.

K Robertson

Canada

A bite out of the Big Apple

Amazing New York highlights were a Broadway show, Central Park, Empire State building and Time Square. We visited MoMA which was amazing to see all best artwork in the world, we were just not expecting it, every room we went into there was another masterpiece. Our hotel was under a mile from the subway station and we saw how the New Yorkers live and commute.

Keep coming back

Never been somewhere where so many people say they keep coming back. Thank you for finding me this holiday destination.

Amazing Scenery and Wildlife

We saw loads of animals, bison, black and grizzly bear, elk, deer and even wolves in the distance. Waterfalls and lakes were magnificent and the trails that we walked were all so beautiful and well worth visiting.

J O’Brien

Yellowstone, USA

So many highlights

Utah was my favourite part. There was so much to do and it was like nothing I’ve seen before. Really liked Capitol Reef as it was much quieter and we were so close to it. Will always remember going star gazing, brilliant.

E Mason

Grand Circle, USA

Nicely surprised

On our trip there was so much to do. We enjoyed outdoor activities and the adventurous things to do. We were nicely surprised and will be coming back for sure.

J Hung

Hong Kong + China

Humbled by our surroundings

Every turn held more beauty than we expected. We were humbled by the size of the surrounding peaks. The feeling of being in a cathedral never left us as we stopped in deserted spots and just gazed at our surroundings.

Yosemite, USA

Unforgettable Vegas

We saw all of Las Vegas and really glad we've done it. All the hotels were amazing. I will always remember driving towards Las Vegas, you're just driving for hours through dessert and it suddenly pops up out of nowhere.
