Local guides uncover Sydney's wild side - the perfect introduction to Australia's deep connection between culture and nature.

Spend a day venturing beyond the city on a wildlife safari to the Southern Highlands. Enjoy a delicious lunch with coastal views, then head into the bush where your guide uncovers our iconic creatures in their natural habitat - kangaroos, wombats, and even (if you're very lucky) the elusive platypus.
From here, the World-Heritage listed Blue Mountains National Park beckons West. Your home is a luxury eco-chalet nestled within the bush, just steps from world-class hiking trails.

Head South to Adelaide, where you'll soar by charter flight to the wild beauty of the Flinders Ranges. Here, conservation and luxury exist in quiet harmony across 60,000 acres of privately protected wilderness.
Days unfold to the rhythm of twice-daily safari activities - tracking kangaroos and emus across ancient landscapes, spotting rare birdlife, and learning about the region’s remarkable ecological restoration alongside expert field guides. Evenings bring candlelit dinners beneath vast outback skies, where stories of the land are shared over thoughtful, regionally inspired cuisine.

Settle into the spectacular Southern Ocean Lodge - perched on wild cliffs, your suite features panoramic ocean views and stunning plunge pool. Here, nature and luxury effortlessly collide.
