​

Picture yourself on the adventure of a lifetime! Join us in 2019 for an unforgettable trip to this mystical land of rain forests, deserts, coral reefs, vineyards, and aborigine culture. You will get into the Australian spirit of things through book readings, wine tours, and documentaries. Ritual will ground you along your journey, leaving a lasting imprint on your life and outlook. This is a powerful retreat from the norm that will empower you to see the world around you through a broader scope. Travel Light, Journey Deep is the motto for Travel 2 Adventure Tours. WE invite you to share in this experience of connection with the first peoples of Australia and their rich heritage of love for the earth, the sky and all the creatures contained within its flora and fauna.  As you connect with the land you will further connect with your inner landscape and go on an archaeological dig to discover the gift of who you are and whose you are.

“If there are places that are an absolute must, tell us about them and we can rearrange our tour to fit your needs and wants. This sacred tour company is about ensuring that you find yourself along the way to discovering Australia and its first peoples, culture and wonders. This tour is only a suggestion for getting the most out of your time in this mystical land down-under.

Do you have a burning desire to see Uluru or Kata Juta, or travel the Orient Express of the Outback, the Ghan? Or live with aborigines. This may take a little longer to plan as the Ghan is booked years in advance, so scheduling is vital.
