A specially crafted getaway for adventurous women on the iconic Larapinta Trail in the red centre, rafting on the Snowy River and a new Flinders Island walk are just some of the unique new itineraries featured in the World Expeditions 2016-17 Australia New Zealand Pacific Brochure.

World Expeditions CEO, Sue Badyari, says the company has expanded its range of itineraries to ensure the best possible wilderness experiences in the Australia, NZ and Pacific region.

“From the reds of  Central Australia to the azure bays of Freycinet National Park to Flinders Island’s ‘mountains in the sea’ and New Zealand’s North and South Islands,  our new trips are 'bucket list' contenders for anyone who appreciates the outdoors,” she said. “As always, responsible practice is at the core of all of our Australasian Adventures, meaning our footprint in our natural environments is minimal, something that our travellers find extremely appealing”.
