SCENIC REGIONS SURROUNDING
Australia is packed with its own unique natural wonders, but nowhere has more wonderful attractions than the astonishing marine environments and scenic regions surrounding Thala Beach Nature Reserve.
Beneath you a shoal of silver striped fish arrow across the reef, their bright yellow tails propelling them effortlessly through the crystal clear water. Beneath them the Great Barrier Reef shimmers in the dappled sunlight.
This has got to be one of the world’s greatest natural underwater wonders – one you simply should not miss on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Australia.
Stay at Thala Beach Nature Reserve and you’ll discover its land-based natural phenomena are barely less spectacular. You’ll be able to explore a rare littoral rainforest in the company of knowledgeable rangers. You’ll see ospreys, embark on butterfly walks and gaze deep into the universe though an unpolluted night sky. Before sleeping in a stylish hotel featuring rustic suites and bungalows standing amidst whispering eucalyptus trees.

The destinations were fabulous, but what really stood out was the care and patience Tania showed as she guided me and my sister through every question and hesitation. Nothing felt rushed or too much trouble. The result? A truly wonderful holiday. Thank you.
A hugely enjoyable nine-day trip, expertly organised from start to finish. The itinerary covered everything we wanted to see and do, with excellent guides, drivers and seamless logistics throughout. The documentation was clear and helpful, and the London office was consistently responsive, knowledgeable and efficient.
