A touch of Aussie magic is weaved into every Bespoke Luxury Journey, hand-crafted and pre-booked for the discerning traveler wishing to explore Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific Islands from a unique perspective.
Established in 1992, by fifth generation Australian, Karen Hardy Hodgson whose mission is to help travelers discover the South Pacific through a local’s eyes, to replace the passive environment of large tour buses with the vibrancy of experiential, immersive travel, to create individual itineraries based upon each traveler’s interests and desires, to take the traveler off the beaten track on stress-free journeys crafted to create life-long memories of wonder.
Our lofty ideals have been achieved by making yearly visits to the countries we so love.
