A century ago, the untamed Australian landscape was but a twinkle in most travelers' eyes. But thanks to the vision of our foundation businesses, Pykes Tours and Bill Kings Outback Safaris, the way we explore changed in unimaginable ways. Like these early touring pioneers, and our global family-owned parent company, The Travel Corporation (TTC), we believe in pushing boundaries to provide remarkable experiences.

AAT Kings together with TTC are committed to responsible travel. Our five-year sustainability strategy – How We Tread Right – has established 11 sustainability goals to guide the way we operate and the People, Planet and Wildlife projects we support through our TreadRight Foundation to ensure we Make Travel Matter. We believe that travel is an incredible gift. It has the ability to open our eyes to the unique cultures and spellbinding beauty of the natural world. But with this gift comes a responsibility – to protect the world as we know it.

As the tourism rebound continues in Australia and New Zealand, we’ve never been more passionate about our next discovery.
