Guided Solo Travel In Australia

From reef to rainforest, desert to Tasmanian devils, Australia offers discerning solo explorers the chance to uncover nature at its most pristine, wildlife that has to be seen to be believed and living culture that dates back millennia. For those who are travelling solo, there are cosmopolitan cities waiting to delight your senses, with new wonders around every corner.

Starting with Sydney your exploration begins with some of Australia’s most famous icons, the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House, before giving way to the wine region of the Hunter Valley and the World Heritage Listed wilderness of the Blue Mountains.

In the heart of the country you can learn from a local First Nations guide and discover how Aboriginal culture and history has shaped this land for tens of thousands of years, uncover open air art galleries in Kakadu National Park or experience a Welcome to Country in Tasmania’s Cataract Gorge.

Travelling solo on an AAT Kings Guided Holiday you’ll be in great company and led by one of our passionate and knowledgeable Travel Directors or local guides, meaning your holiday will help you to listen, not just hear, the tales and history that have shaped this wide, brown land.
