AAT Kings
Official Partner
A century ago, the Australian outback was but a twinkle in most travellers’ eyes. Thanks to visionaries such as the Pyke family and Bill King, the way we explore the Land Down Under has changed in unimaginable ways. From humble beginnings, the company now known as AAT Kings was going places few had gone before, pioneering new paths and taking intrepid travellers on a wild and wonderful ride.
No corner of Australia was – or is – off-limits, from the remote reaches of the Kimberley and spiritual heartland of the Red Centre to the quiet shores of Tasmania.
