Northern Territory Tours and Vacation Packages

Overview

Take a trip to Northern Territory on your Australia vacation.

For many, the Northern Territory embodies Australia at its most romantic. A vibrant orange sun setting over a desert that stretches forever. Only the looming forms of Uluru/Ayers Rock and Kata Tjuta/The Olgas break the horizon, and with them, an indigenous history containing countless stories.

Visit Alice Springs for a glimpse of what life’s really like in ‘the Outback,’ learn about the history of early white exploration, the crucial work of the flying doctor service in this part of Australia, and much more. Perhaps the best way to explore this region is on an excursion from The Ghan, the ultimate train journey through the Australian outback.

Journeying north to Kakadu National Park, and it can be hard to believe you’re in the same country. Lush rainforests and endlessly diverse wetlands showcase a very different side of the Northern Territory. Explore lands that have sustained Aboriginal communities for thousands of years. Feast your eyes on dramatic waterfalls and gorges. Cruise on the waterways of the Adelaide River, and keep your eyes peeled for the fearsome saltwater crocodiles of the ‘Top End.’

From the ancient traditions of its first peoples to the early years of Outback exploration to the fascinating wartime history of Darwin, there are countless stories to uncover in the Northern Territory.

Tasmania is under the radar for many travelers, but it’s great for hikes, natural landscapes and now modern art!

Sydney and Melbourne are a great combination for first-time visitors to Australia, with Brisbane, Adelaide and/or the Outback added in, depending on how much time you have. Returnees should take in Perth, Darwin and the Kakadu National Park area and/or Tasmania if they can, plus spend some time in the cities they loved the first time around

Our 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ Wheeler

Goway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'Neill

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay
