Our story began in 1975, when the mountains of Nepal inspired our first trek. Since then, we've pioneered many adventure travel firsts, all driven by our goal to provide active and adventurous travellers with BIG adventures that leave a small footprint on the people and places we visit. In Australia and New Zealand World Expeditions has four divisions - Australian Walking Holidays, Tasmanian Expeditions, the Blue Mountains Adventure Company and Adventure South. Our divisions operate across the region and are always seeking passionate and enthusiastic guides to join our team. World Expeditions pioneered trekking on Central Australia's Larapinta Trail. We were the first to operate Larapinta treks in 1995 and have been the market leader ever since. Our Classic Larapinta Trek in Comfort is listed as one of the seven Great Walks of Australia and has won the NT Brolga Award for Ecotourism four times – in 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2024 – and also won the Brolga in Adventure Tourism in 2022, 2023 and 2024. We also have a thriving Top End program and an expanding South Australian and Western Australian package. We believe travel is about embracing the nature, culture and people of each destination, which is why we strive to create unique and innovative adventures that give travellers an immersive experience with minimal environmental impact.
