SOLO TRAVEL TOURS

Travel Solo, Not Alone

Travelling solo and sharing the journey takes 'alone' out of solo travel. Two time winner of the global Solo Travel Awards 2017 and 2018, we are Australia's leading solo traveller specialist. From across Australia to around the globe, we are 100% committed to creating amazing solo travel tours for all solo travellers.

With our 6 travel styles, there's something for everyone.  Since 2006 we've been leading the way for solo travellers with our age-matched holidays, offering the choice of small group tours,  or cruise and resort groups with a big choice of solo travel packages.

Join our small group tours, or choose to getaway with a cruise or resort package. We exclusively look after solo travellers and focus on offering packages with low single supplements.  You will always have the choice to take your own room but if you're happy to share then ask about our roommate matching option.

To travel alone is one thing. To travel solo, but not alone is something else! Join us - travel solo together.
