We asked our Founder and Adventure Architect Stu to reveal his hidden gem, and he didn't disappoint! 💎💎

"Going out with a local fisherman in Kalbarri to catch lobsters and keeping the catch to cook later that night with a great Aussie white wine or beer to go with it.

One day, we had dolphins and sharks circling the boat, and it was so wild! The captain and crew are so friendly and welcoming. It’s a huge local highlight."

Travel has always been a means to explore new places, cultures, and experiences.

However, with the growing awareness of climate change and environmental degradation, it is crucial to adopt sustainable travel practices.

This is especially important for travellers embarking on boutique tours to destinations like Australia, where respecting heritage, supporting local causes, and preserving natural beauty are paramount.

As you plan your next boutique tour to Australia or any other destination, remember that responsible travel is not just a choice but a responsibility.

In celebration of NAIDOC Week from 7 - 14 July and to honor yesterday's National Aborigines Day, we take a moment to celebrate the world's oldest continuous living history and the rich cultural heritage, history, and contributions of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

As a travel company dedicated to showcasing the beauty and diversity of Australia, we recognise the deep connection that Indigenous communities have with this land.

Our boutique tours are more than just journeys through stunning landscapes; they are opportunities to engage with the stories, traditions, and knowledge of the world’s oldest living cultures.

We are committed to fostering respectful and meaningful interactions with the Aboriginal communities we visit, ensuring that our guests not only see Australia but also understand and appreciate its profound cultural roots.

Did you know Vlamingh Head Lighthouse in Exmouth, Western Australia provides a stunning sunset view? 🌅

At over 100 years old, this lighthouse has a fascinating history throughout World War II and has interpretive displays to learn as you visit. But, not many people also realise it's a brilliant viewpoint to watch the humpback whales breach the surface during the migration season (June - October). 🐋

First Nations culture is the cornerstone of Australian heritage. One of our values here at Via Travel is to share, educate, and honour this heritage wherever possible. That’s why we include First Nations experiences in almost all of our tours. 🫶🫶

Justin, one of our Tour Guides is fortunate enough to get to share in these experiences, and this is what he had to say.

🙏Thank you to all of the First Nations people, businesses, and elders who share their stories and heritage through our tours, and to Justin who guides travellers through these experiences along the way.

Did you know the saltwater crocodile has a bite force rivalling a T-Rex?! 🦖🐊

You'll find them in Northern Australia in BOTH saltwater and freshwater environments, contrary to their name. (Whoever named the crocs need to be sacked!)

So if you don't want to go home with a few chunks missing, listen when the tour guide says keep your arms, legs....and all other appendages, inside the boat. 🚣‍♀️

Discover the rich heritage of Ningaloo Reef (Nyinggulu)! This breathtaking coastline is part of the traditional land and sea country of the Baiyungu, Yinikurtira, and Thalanyji peoples, who have called this area home for over 35,000 years. 🌿✨

Ningaloo Reef is not only a natural wonder but also a site of immense cultural significance. In fact, you’ll find ancient burial grounds, middens, and fish traps, which provide the earliest records of marine resource use in Australia. The name 'Ningaloo' itself means 'deep water' in the language of the local Yinigudura tribe.

Dive into the deep, crystal-clear waters and explore a place where culture and nature intertwine. 🌺🐠

3 Practical Travel Tips for Flashpacking Adventures in Oz! 🌎✈️

🎟️ Stay Organised: Keep all travel documents (passports, tickets, and reservations) in a secure and easily accessible place.

✨ Pro Tip: Use secure digital copies or email them to yourself as a backup!✨

🧳 Pack Light: Fight the urge to overpack and stick to the essentials. Pick versatile clothing to maximise space and keep your backpack or luggage light.

✨ Pro Tip: Roll clothes to save space and roll outfits together so it's easy to grab without unpacking your entire bag. ✨

🔌 Stay Connected: Invest in a portable charger or power bank to keep your electronic devices charged on the go.

✨ Pro Tip: Buy a big power bank with multiple ports that you can charge at your accomodation, and bring a smaller one in your bag, pocket, or wallet (yes, they have them this size!) for emergencies. ✨

🌊 Happy World Ocean Day! 🌊

Covering over 70% of the Earth's surface, our oceans really are the heart of the planet and provides us with an incredible array of life and adventure!

But our oceans need us! 🌱 Plastic pollution, overfishing, and climate change are putting immense pressure on marine ecosystems. This World Ocean Day, let’s pledge to make a difference:

💧 Reduce Plastic Use: Say no to single-use plastics and opt for reusable alternatives.

🌍 Support Sustainable Seafood: Choose seafood that’s sustainably sourced to help protect marine life.

♻️ Get Involved: Participate in beach clean-ups, support ocean-friendly policies, and educate others about the importance of the ocean.

Together, we can ensure our oceans thrive for generations to come. Dive into action and let's make waves for positive change. 🌊

Whilst it may look like our group stumbled upon some *ahem special mushrooms on their travels 🍄 the truth is the Daintree Rainforest is at least 135 million years old. That means it's not only a breathtaking experience but it needs at least half a tour group to span the trunk of some of the trees 🌳!

So this group can be forgiven for showing some love to this beautiful World Heritage Site.
