Locally owned small group tours
Small, Boutique & Comfortable
Here comfort meets authenticity for the active traveller who wants to immerse themselves in unique Australian experiences while staying in comfort at hand-selected, locally-owned accommodation.
Our Boutique Comfort Tours create a perfect blend of nature and wildlife, culture and heritage, and local authenticity, that define the true Australia.
We manage & operate the tours ourselves and we believe in personal, down to earth, authentic experiences. We’ve handpicked the most beautiful locations, quality accommodations & passionate Australian guides.
Our Background
With the belief that travelling isn’t just about visiting a new place, but discovering and exploring in a meaningful way, Via Travel are passionate about authentic, active tour experiences. From real wildlife encounters to learning about and appreciating First Nation culture from one of the oldest surviving cultures in the world, Via Travel uses its itineraries to showcase the best of what Australia has to offer.
Our excellent reputation, extensive knowledge of the country and hand-picked team of guides & suppliers have all helped us to become a trusted tour operator. We specialise in small groups and we handpick all of our suppliers so we maintain excellent quality through close relationships. We understand the ‘must sees’, but we also importantly offer experiences that are unique, local and away from the main crowds too.
Since 2016
We have been operating small group tours under the Via travel brand since 2016. We have regular departing boutique east tours and west coast tours under our brand Via Travel Australia. These are ‘sit in’ small group tours.
Since our launch 7 years ago, we have made considerable achievements by hand-selecting and partnering with over 100 suppliers while providing for almost 10,000 happy travellers.
With our excellent reputation, extensive knowledge of Australia and a hands-on personal approach with a powerful message in conservation, Via Travel is making waves with its offerings in West and East Coast Australian tours.
