Australian Geographic has recently acquired 50% of the highly respected travel company, Insight Australia Travel, and have jointly launched the Australian Geographic Travel. 

The new travel program provides travellers with the chance to immerse themselves in breathtaking landscapes, bird watching, hiking and active wildlife conservation projects while enjoying authentic and supportive interactions with local people and Australia’s ancient First Nations culture.  

“Insight Australia is absolutely delighted to be teaming up with Australian Geographic to extend our strong international presence to also offer small group sustainable experiences to nature and culture lovers from around the globe,” Australian Geographic’s Managing Director Jo Runciman said. 

“Australian Geographic Travel will allow us to foster an even deeper relationship with our audience by connecting them with the natural experiences they crave. This is a unique opportunity to not just read about the awes of the great Australian landscape, wildlife and wilderness, but to actually live it.” 

The small group tour options will cover many destinations across the entire country. Australian Geographic Travel currently offers a choice of over 30 itineraries all bookable via the Australian Geographic website.

Insight Australia Travel’s Founder and Managing Director Birgit Bourne will be leading the new travel program. With a deep passion for local landscapes, wildlife, Aboriginal culture, conservation and sustainability, Director Bourne is a keen photographer, hiker, outdoors and nature lover who sits on the board of the Australian Tourism Export Council (ATEC).  

“Australian Geographic Travel will explore and enlighten while respecting and preserving the diversity and beauty of local wildlife, landscapes, culture and people,” Managing Director Runciman said. 

“Our travellers want an experience with purpose and to develop a deep connection with a destination by supporting and respecting its environment. We are committed to sustainable travel and our travellers will play an active role in contributing to conservation projects around the country.”  

The organisation has shared the essence and spirit of Australia to travellers through its meticulously crafted and beautifully presented stories and photography for over 36 years. 

Meanwhile, Insight Australia Travel has been operating for almost 20 years, curating and delivering bespoke Australian itineraries.
