“Those who lose dreaming are lost.” Australian Aboriginal proverb Dear traveller, Let me start by saying I hope you and your loved ones are all safe, well and in good spirits. I’m sure you can agree that it’s delightful to see the return of international travel to most regions of the world. For an inveterate traveller like myself — having built my life around a belief that travel makes the world a better place — this exciting new chapter gives way to a myriad of plans and anticipation for the adventures ahead. Travel is an incredible privilege. And now, more than ever, I am determined to make my travel count like never before. And I hope you are too! I know many of you share the same unquenchable thirst to truly experience the world, to meet its people, learn its ways, to understand what makes each of us different and yet all of us in many ways so alike. I know people like you and I are finally ready to exchange knowing looks and kindred-spirit smiles on remote airstrips and aboard splendid expedition ships, laughing with new friends around a fire at the end of an unforgettable day in another ancient land, saluting the sun as it slides below the horizon. For many years now, the quality of the luxury travel experience in Australia and New Zealand has been a beacon for the most discerning travellers from around the world. The relaxed welcome, the vast horizons and pristine air, staggering landscapes, and Indigenous cultures brimming with insights for modernity… this brochure showcases them all and does a superb job of conveying the exceptional experiences A&K has delivered in Australia and New Zealand for decades. Happy exploring!

Why Choose A&K Abercrombie & Kent has been creating inspiring luxury adventures in Australia & New Zealand for more than 35 years with the same care and attention that has made A&K the benchmark for luxury travel in more than 100 countries around the world. We take travellers into the true heart of a destination, in extraordinary style and comfort, with authentic local insight, unforgettable experiences and encounters, and exclusive access privileges. Vast Experience A&K was founded in East Africa in 1962 and has operated luxury journeys for inbound visitors to Australia and New Zealand for more than 35 years. We have also been crafting incredible experiences specifically for Australian and New Zealand travellers, here and abroad, for decades.

Unmatched Expertise Unlike other operators, we recruit, train, and manage our own full-time staff, and orchestrate every aspect of your journey with precision and flexibility, down to the finest detail.

Dedicated Journey Designers & Quality Inclusions Our dedicated Australia & New Zealand Journey Designers are travel experts who create impeccably-balanced journeys designed to flow seamlessly from start to finish. We use only hand-picked and deeply researched accommodation, whether high end luxury hotels, intimate boutique inns or independently-owned lodgings, and weave quintessential destination experiences into every journey.

Expert Guides and Local Heroes A&K’s guides are the industry’s very best, blessed with extensive local knowledge and the ability to bring a destination to life. We also use local personalities and authorities in many destinations, whether a published local historian or esteemed curator, the local rock star, a football champion who can tell the true stories of the Yawuru people of the West Kimberley, or the founding member of The Sapphires who is now Principal of a Yarra Valley school for Indigenous girls.

Luxury Specialists A&K’s ‘niche’ is luxury travel and luxury travellers — we know what the most discerning, enlightened and inquisitive travellers expect when they travel — and from their travel, and we pride ourselves on exceeding expectations.

Local Presence & Access Privileges A&K works tirelessly to design adventures you won’t see from any other travel company. When you travel with A&K, we don’t just take you to the front of the line, we take you into the places not typically open to visitors — behind the scenes of an important national treasure, into the workshop of a local artisan, or out to the field with an ecologist to see how rare or endangered species are being protected. This kind of unencumbered access to the authentic heart and soul of a place — to the people and sites that exist far beyond the reach of the average traveller — is something we aim to deliver on every journey we create, whether to Australia's or New Zealand’s most iconic luxury travel destinations, or to more off-the-grid and under-the-radar places and experiences.

All of the journeys in this brochure can be booked as designed and shown here, or personalised to suit your specific preferences and circumstances.

Safe Travels is established by the World Travel & Tourism Council.

Are You an A&K Traveller? A&K travellers are motivated by meaning and purpose, and travel to genuinely connect with people and places. If any of the following sounds like you, you’re probably an A&K traveller already, or will be soon: • I s why you travel and how you travel as important to you as where you travel? • Do you like to fully experience a place or culture and not merely visit or see it? •D o you want to be fully immersed in a destination or an experience and not just there as a spectator? • Do you want to be involved in the design of your journey, working with experts in a co-creation process to bring your dreams to life? • Are sustainability and the social impact of travel important to you? • Do you think local communities and ecosystems should share in the benefits of travel? • Do you like to seek out local insights, experiences and expertise when you travel, to eat at the places locals prefer and do the things the locals do? • Do you prefer services and experiences that have a human scale? • Would you rather talk to a trusted expert than a call centre? • Are beauty and authenticity important to you? • Do you prefer the artisanal to the industrial, the original to the reproduction? • Do you seek out the whispered secret, the quiet truth and inside knowledge rather than listening only to the wisdom of crowds? • Do you travel for what it means to you and brings to you personally, not what it says about you to others? • Do you travel in the hope that it makes you a better person — in mind, body and spirit — and may even help make the world a better place?

Discover Australia & New Zealand on a Journey Made Just For You Your ideal journey starts with a dream, and a deep desire to experience a part of the world in a new way or for the first time. And our Journey Designers are here to create itineraries perfectly suited to your style, your interests and your budget. Seamless, Ready-to-Travel Suggested Journeys In this brochure, and in more detail on our website, you will find a range of suggested itineraries exclusively designed by our experts. Each element of each itinerary is carefully considered in terms of guest enjoyment, travel logistics, and how it fits in the overall pace and flow of the journey. Each one is travelled and tested, to ensure we present the destination in the best possible manner in seamless style and comfort. These suggested journeys are all designed to give you an incomparable travel experience and are operated on a private basis for you and your travelling companions. Each is ready-to-book and ready-to-travel on dates to suit you.

Find Your Inspiration Decades of in-country expertise mean our Journey Designers can curate exceptional activities and experiences for you that are beyond the reach of the average traveller. In each destination, a list of some of these unique experiences is featured. Some of these appear in our suggested journeys, but they can also be pieced together to form the framework for your own bespoke adventure.

No Two Holidays are the Same Our suggested journeys are just that, suggested. Should you need to deviate from the proposed route, add a different focus or start from scratch, our Journey Designers are poised to start the conversation with you, or your travel specialist, to craft the holiday of your dreams. It’s simple: tell us where and how you’d like to travel and we’ll create or curate

a journey to match, with as much or as little direction from you, and drawing on the expertise of locals from our offices throughout Australia and New Zealand. By tailor-making your journey with an A&K Journey Designer, you are assured a unique experience from booking to boarding and beyond.

Itineraries You Won’t Find Anywhere Else With our unrivalled knowledge, A&K can create journeys that feature iconic destinations and perfect pacing, all seamlessly orchestrated for the luxury traveller. These are journeys that unfold with the narrative flow of a good book or a great film. Our approach and network advantages also bring practical benefits, including tailored transfer and flight routings to allow for extra time exploring, and longer stops in the places you most want to see.

Genuine, Cultural Immersion We ensure every one of our journeys includes authentic cultural encounters. Imagine visiting a community in Arnhem Land in the company of a friendly local — your A&K guide — who grew up in the area and has probably known some of the locals here their entire life. They make warm introductions to local traditional artists, and suddenly you are witnessing them in action creating extraordinary works. Next up you are visiting an ancient rock art site, with our guides offering the kind of insight into local culture that can only come from deep knowledge and in this case countless generations of lived experience. The result is a journey that reveals the real spirit of the people, and the place, in a way you’ll never forget.

Truly Luxurious Accommodations That Inspire, Enhance & Delight The quality of the accommodation we use is one of the many things that sets an A&K journey apart. On all handcrafted tailor-made and Small Group Journeys, we select only the most remarkable hotels, boutique lodges and luxury small ships, each of which must combine superior service, a sense of place, local character and unanticipated luxuries. Award-Winning, Iconic Properties When luxury is what you’re looking for, there’s no reason to settle for second-best. Our local experts choose only the very best properties in a given destination. In many cases, their choice will be the undisputed local favourite, synonymous with five-star style, often a Condé Nast Traveler Gold List or Travel + Leisure World’s Best property. But the choice might also be a whispered secret, a better option, a small but perfectly formed boutique property with a certain significant atmospheric, experiential or locational advantage.

One-of-a-Kind Locations When considering your accommodation, our experts look at more than just the rooms. Wherever possible, we arrange for you to stay close to the places you most want to see, close to the people you’ll most enjoy meeting, and close to the experiences you’ll most enjoy discovering. We’ll choose the right option among the region’s best properties, whether historically iconic, coveted high-design or supremely located on the edge of a wilderness.

Stylish Expedition Vessels and Small Ships Our commitment to luxury doesn’t stop at the water’s edge. When it comes to cruising with A&K, step aboard knowing you’ll experience the same comfort, service and style you would on land, all while discovering the beauty of life on the water.

And A&K recognises that time is a precious commodity and places great importance on the value of shared special moments between family members.

It offers an opportunity to reconnect, and bond over the excitement of shared discoveries and experiences. Snorkelling with majestic green sea turtles on the Great Barrier Reef, sand dune cycling on Kangaroo Island, or hand-feeding fish at Ned's Beach on Lord Howe Island — these adventures create lasting, collective family memories.

A deep-rooted consideration for the natural world infuses each and every Abercrombie & Kent journey. A&K believes passionately that travel should both respect the natural environment and benefit the peoples whose lands we visit. For over 30 years, A&K has been intimately involved in the support of these communities, their environments and their ecosystems. Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy (AKP), guided by Vice Chairman Jorie Butler Kent, facilitates our commitment to socially and ecologically responsible travel worldwide, as well as helping our guests to become actively involved in these efforts. Every Abercrombie & Kent office plays an important hands-on role in its community, proudly sponsoring projects directly benefiting the local people and environment.

AKP Helps Protect the Endangered Kiwi National Kiwi Hatchery Aotearoa at Rainbow Springs Nature Park in Rotorua is helping to increase numbers of the beloved icon of New Zealand, one of the most unusual birds in the world. The endangered kiwi was on the brink of extinction, but Conservation in Action is now bringing it back. Since 1995, National Kiwi Hatchery Aotearoa has hatched more than 1,800 kiwi chicks. AKP has been supporting their remarkable work since 2009.

AKP Supports Tasmanian Raptor Rehabilitation The one-of-a-kind Raptor Refuge south of Hobart is doing incredible work taking in injured birds of prey and rehabilitating them for return to the wild. Threatened by power lines, farming, habitat loss and wind farms, more than a hundred raptors are killed each year and there are less than 120 breeding pairs of wedge-tailed eagles left in Tasmania, making them a threatened species. At the refuge, large flight aviaries, veterinary facilities and an educational centre provide a solid foundation for the important conservation work being undertaken.
