Holiday Styles for Every Client
LUXURY TOURING & SMALL GROUP JOURNEYS
Our Luxury Tours allow your clients to discover the true essence of each destination in comfort and style. They will enjoy stays in iconic hotels and resorts, a host of special dining highlights, enriching sightseeing and exceptional service. Our Small Group Journeys deliver a more in-depth experience for an intimate group of just 20 guests, travelling by luxury coach and staying in unique and authentic accommodation.
ESSENTIAL TOURING
On our Essential Tours, your clients will benefit from all the expertise, knowledge and personal service of APT at marvellous value.
Throughout the destinations we travel to, they will enjoy hand-picked accommodation in central and unique locations, quality meals and all the must-see sights. And while all the iconic destinations and essential experiences are included throughout your client’s journey, they will also get free time to discover at their own pace.
WILDERNESS ADVENTURES
No other operator can offer the experience, network of lodges or access that we do, so your clients can discover the real Kimberley, rather than merely brushing the surface.
APT ran its first tour into this vast and remote region more than 40 years ago. In those days, accommodation did not exist. Since then, APT has built unique partnerships with local Indigenous communities and created an unmatched network of exclusive Wilderness Lodges in stunning locations.
