Why holiday with us?

We are devoted and passionate! Offering just a few trips each year - and small groups.

Loyal guests automatically receive a discount for their 2nd, 3rd, 4th trips and workshops with us.  You'll receive the discount on your Kimberley or Italy trip even if your previous workshop was only a 3 hour workshop in Perth!

In 2018, ten previous guests are returning to holiday with us!  ​Given that we only have about 50 guests a year, we are humbled by the compliment - it tells us we offer a trusted service, value for money and a great experience for travellers in search of a holiday with a difference. 

We get a kick out of giving you 'one-off' and special experiences during your time with us - things that you never see on other tours.  ​
​Read what previous guests have said about how we offer a different kind of holiday.

​Best week of my life, never want to leave. Thank you. I will definitely be back!  ​
