Hong Kong Shopping Tour – Limited Time Discount!! Save over $500
Wow, usually when we put together a group price the only changes are generally upwards when currencies fluctuate, to be able to turn to everyone and say hey we can give you the tour cheaper (even if only for a limited time) is unusual, and definitely satisfying!
What am I talking about? We have been given a limited time offer on our Hong Kong Shopping Tour by one of the suppliers. For those already booked, and those that wish to book simply get in touch with us in the next two weeks, pay your tour deposit and receive a discount of AU$576.00 on your trip. That is right, instead of paying AU$3969 per person in share twin you will only be paying AU$3393 per person
So if you enjoy shopping and would like to see the best markets, outlets and warehouses of Hong Kong, Shenzen and Macau, if you think you would enjoy a night at the races, a traditional dinner, a harbour cruise and a full day of sightseeing in Hong Kong then get in touch now and reserve your place.
Just remember for any bookings and deposits made between 17th March 2014 and the 31st March 2014 you will receive the AU$576 discount . Full details of the tour available here – otherwise call us to book or for more information!
Pre-Sale Offer: Canada & Alaska and European River Cruise Groups. Limited Time Availability
PRESALE ON NOW!!!!!
As many of you know we have 2 special departures coming up in 2015 that have been asked for since we were even in the pre-launch stage of the Shoalhaven Solo Sisters. A European River Cruise up the Danube and a Voyage in Canada taking in the Inside Passage and the Rocky Mountains. At this stage we are technically too far out to confirm group costs .. but after some lengthy talks and discussions we have come up with some fantastic “pre-sale offers”.
So what are the pre-sale offers? For a limited time we have access to an early offer cost, including fly free deals, and other inclusions. These deals are usually a bit better in price than an early-bird, and by booking and depositing whilst the Pre-sale fares are in, you can guarantee your place at those special rates rather than paying “full price”later on.

AU$9145 per person share twin (September 2015)

Now the pre-sale is only available until the supplier releases their 2015 product , which is due to come out any time from the next two weeks until early may!
So if you want to visit these destinations NOW is the time to take advantage of these great rates – as we are not likely to see prices like these any time soon in the near future – so if you want to travel to these destinations, and want to take advantage of a spectacular office we suggest that you come via the office in the next two weeks and put down a deposit to secure your place on these departures!!!

Discovering Norfolk Island
When people think of the pacific islands they can visit most have thoughts that run to Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, or further afield at the Cook Islands, Samoa or Tahiti. Few tend to think of our more temperate options – Lord Howe Island, or in this case Norfolk Island.
With year round temperate climate, Norfolk has a vast array of things to offer all kinds of travellers. Its natural beauty and wonders allow one to experience anything from walks along the Bushland trails to Glass Bottom Boat trips over their reefs. The early and fairly dark convict heritage is still evident and a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Island. For art lovers there are galleries, museums and more to explore. For those looking for pampering there are spas and wellness centres to experience. For the sportsman there is fishing, horse riding, golf and more. Then there are also the beaches and the water activities. More than enough to see, admire and enjoy.
This fantastic destination is where we are headed for our first group departure with the Shoalhaven Solo Sisters. This March we depart on a seven-day journey to explore Norfolk Island, while we have included some true highlights in our package – we have also left plenty of free time for those that may want to pursue their own desires, be it an art class, a round of golf, or a stroll along one of the Hiking Trails.
You can find full details of our tour here, and should you want to enquire or find out more details just fill in the form at the bottom of that page. We will be restricting the amount of travellers we take, so it will be on a first in best dressed basis. We will also try to match everyone up with an appropriate partner, or if desired we can offer single supplements.
So if my expounding on the wonders of Norfolk hasn’t whetted your appetite, or the images we have shown .. take a look at the below clip produced by the Norfolk Island Tourist Board, and you will see, we are sure, that Norfolk has something for everyone.
A First Look At Our 2014 Group Departures
For our first Introductory programme we will be taking in some fantastic areas and great programmes. In March we head up to Norfolk Island to explore the local Heritage and Culture, June we head to Inland Australia to Explore Lake Eyre and Uluru, in September we head off to explore Hong Kong and its commercial byways, then finally in November we head of for a cruise around New Zealand. Full details available in our Upcoming Tours section.

Walking with Lions in Zambia, Experiencing Chitwan by Elephant Back, enjoying a Sunset over the Bosphorus, seeing the remains of King Tut now back in his original tomb, or enjoying a horse-cart ride through the temple-lit byways of Bagan.
In 2014 we have a fantastic array of lead in programmes coming, each with a stand out moment you are sure to remember for years to come. Whilst in Norfolk Island we will head out one night to witness the re-enactment of the infamous Mutiny On The Bounty. On the voyage through central Australia we ensure you get to see the magnificent sight that is the Sunrise rising over Uluru. Whilst in Hong Kong we ensure that we set out one evening to experience the excitement that is the Races at Happy Valley. Then when we visit New Zealand take a moment to enjoy the majestic scenes and silence aboard the Sun Princess as we drift into Milford Sound.
