Our hotels are specifically chosen to be in safe areas and to be generally well-suited to facilitating group supervision. This means we do not use large, impersonal hotels on the outskirts of cities. We stay away from large hotel chains, preferring to select small, family run places where we establish personal relationships with the owners. We do use hostels on some of our trips, only when they are exceptionally clean, safe, and have some other especially favorable characteristic (i.e. the new hostel in Florence which is hip, modern, and 30 seconds from the Duomo).
In Australia we stay in a variety of accommodations. Our lodging in the Outback is rustic and cozy. You and your friends will be in cabins--each cabin has heat, AC, electricity and lots of authentic charm.
In Cairns you will be staying in a lively and fun hotel just moments away from the boat that will take you to the Great Barrier Reef. This hotel is tropical and very fun!
When you arrive in Sydney, you'll stay right in the center of the city. Our hotel is sleek, modern, and very cosmopolitan. It's within a moment's walk to shopping, the Harbour, parks, and the world's largest IMAX screen!
Next you'll fly to New Zealand and stay in a chalet at the base of the Remarkable Mountains. From your chalet you are at the perfect place to depart for your adventures. Many shops are nearby, plus museums, and restaurants. Your chalet will be equipped with a kitchen and a lounge in addition to bedrooms.
