Your Australia Travel Experts - For Your Best Australia Vacation Packages

Australia has been voted the world’s best holiday by Conde Nast Traveler magazine, and I found out why. This vast land offers rainforests, magnificent reefs, unique animal and plant life, beautiful beaches and the Outback rich with Aboriginal culture. I recently toured several wine regions and found the Australian wines to be quite good at a reasonable price. I drove to the Blue Mountains, where there are beautiful overlooks, 6 National Parks, and Australia’s version of the Grand Canyon. One of my highlights was the wine and cheese tasting in a field of Kangaroo on Kangaroo Island South Australia. And Sydney is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen!

I’ve been in the travel industry since 1985 and have my Certified Travel Agent, Master Cruise Counselor, and Australia Specialist certifications. Call me to help create a life changing memory Down Under.

As a Certified Premier Aussie Specialist and Certified Kiwi Specialist I can help you make the trip of a lifetime down-under. Working as a Tour Director, I led tours for several different companies for over 10 years. Since that time I have made 40 trips to Australia and over 25 trips to New Zealand and the three reasons for visiting these countries are:
1- No language problem once you learn to say, “G-dye”.
2- Our dollar goes a long, long way.
3- These are places where local people genuinely like Americans just for being an American, not for the size of your wallet.
I have traveled Australia from Sydney to Perth and Darwin to Hobart, Tasmania, with stops in between including Cairns, Great Barrier Reef and its islands, Adelaide, Melbourne, Alice Springs, Ayers Rock, Kangaroo Island, Canberra, and the Outback. Tell me your interests, time you want to go, and your budget, and I’ll help you plan a trip that will make you want to hurry back again to this fantastic and fascinating part of our planet.

As an Aussie Specialist and 27 years in the travel industry, I’ve planned every day of a 3-month and 5-month retirement vacation to New Zealand and Australia. Most recently I travelled to Brisbane staying at the luxurious Versace Resort, seeing Dream World, then on to the laid back surfer’s paradise of Byron Bay. I stayed at the fabulous Byron at Byron Bay, exploring the rainforest and the beautiful beaches. Next I stayed at the Observatory Hotel in Sydney, seeing the sites of the Rocks, Opera House, and then on to the historic Lillienfels Resort in the Blue Mountains, the Grand Canyon of Australia. While there I saw the Janolen Caves. If you are wanting to get the most out of Australia, I can plan your rail excursion in October to see the wild flowers from Perth to Adelaide, plan your wine tour, your opal mining excursion, an Ayer’s Rock experience where you can dine with a camel, or see the crocodiles of Kakadu up close and personal. Honeymooners will love Hayman Island, snorkelers and divers will be excited about the Barrier Reef, and adventure seekers will enjoy wonderful nature walks among the multitude of National Parks on Tasmania. Call me to plan your custom vacation.

I am very passionate about Australia & New Zealand. Both very different, but the people make those destinations remarkable.

My first trip to Australia was a whirlwind of stops, from a beautiful lodge outside of Cairns (in the trees), to small airplane flight, then boat ride to a remote lodge out of Darwin (where I saw Dame Edna painting poolside in his speedo and a 6 foot monitor lizard outside the restaurant while enjoying lunch). Then a fishing trip for garamundi in the outback outside Kununrra, then onto Ayres Rock for the spectacular sunset. I would be more than happy to share my memories with you, while assisting you in a dream "Down Under".

Come to the Land Down Under and experience sun-drenched beaches, stunningly unique geological formations, rare animal species and some of the friendliest people on the planet. I have Aussie Specialist status from Tourism Australia. But more than that, I’ve been and have sent people to all manner of different types of vacations Down Under. You can experience the adventure of a dive off the Great Barrier Reef, a Walkabout with a camel, a coastal sailing around the ancient Darwin area up North, as seen in the film “Australia,” or hang out in the bustling cosmopolitan cities of Melbourne and Sydney. And even if you stay city bound, you can still have a bit of adventure on a Bridge Climb on the Sydney Harbor Bridge, all 1400+ steps. Contact me to see how I can help you start planning your next great adventure.

After an overnight flight, your new super quiet A380 jet flies low over the Opera House and Harbour Bridge on approach to Sydney Airport. The anticipation mounts as you know you are about to arrive in a land full of wonder and excitement. My job is to make sure every moment contributes to that experience. In Australia, it is sometimes what you don’t know that makes the difference between a nice trip and a trip of a lifetime.

In the 17 visits I have made “Down Under”, I have built up vast personal knowledge, passion, contacts and experience that can make that difference. It is not just snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef. I have climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge, held a koala, explored the wilderness of Kangaroo Island, discovered one of the America’s Cups home in Fremantle, tracked through rainforests, tasted wines in many regions, done day safaris in the Outback and gourmet-dined riding a Colonial tram through Melbourne at sunset.

As a Certified Aussie Specialist, I assist you in planning your perfect Aussie holiday maximizing value and time to give you the best and most effective travel experience according to your own special interests and desires. To travel so far and not get it right is not an option. Please contact me to begin your Australia adventure.

Australia is the 6th largest country in the world and almost the same size as USA. This country is truly a melting pot of cultures. For nature lovers, Australia vacations offer rainforest, pristine beaches, thousands of distinct flora and fauna and, of-course, Koalas and Kangaroos. My fascination for Australia began when I was growing up in Fiji and had an opportunity to visit this incredible country Mother Nature created. I immediately fell in love. Australia has something for everyone, from Food & Wine to Arts, Music and Culture. Each city has its own personality, Cosmopolitan Melbourne, Sophiscated Sydney and laid back Brisbane. I am a Certified Aussie Specialist through the Australian Tourism Office and I can’t wait to send you on your next adventure to Down Under.

Having traveled through much of Australia, mainly along their coasts, I can go back again and again and always come up with unique and exciting experiences. For a country about the size of the U.S., with a population of about 22 million, (consider just the population of New York City and Los Angeles together) it is a wealth of culture, sports, outdoor adventure, great food, fabulous wine producing regions and, of course, the mysterious aboriginals. You CANNOT be bored in this awesome, amazingly beautiful country. I have been a Certified Aussie Specialist for 6 years. I travel there and continue with seminars and training. For me, the best Aussie holiday is a combination of the urban culture in the major cities with a mix of their great adventure areas such as the Great Barrier Reef and it’s islands, their wild outback, Darwin and Catherine in the north and the little visited, but surprisingly rich, West including Perth and the fertile vineyards and natural attractions of the Margaret River area. And don’t leave off your itinerary Kangaroo Island or the wild and untamed Tasmania!

Whether it’s your first trip or your tenth, I’ve been planning trips to the magical area of the world for many years for very satisfied clients. Please call me for yours.

Born and raised in Australia, and having lived in Tahiti and Fiji provides me with first hand knowledge on the Land of Oz and the tropical paradises of French Polynesia and Melanesia. During my early years in the travel industry I escorted group in the South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand and Tahiti. I travel often to these destinations and consider all three areas to me my home away from home. Australia, the vast sunburned country, has such diversity and the most friendly people. Whether you wish to snorkel in the Barrier Reef or soak up the sun in Bondi Beach or perhaps climb the Sydney Harbor Bridge, or take a camel safari from Ayers Rock to Cooper Pedy, there is something for everyone. I look forward to planning your adventures Down Under!
