About Us

Explore Holidays - experts in independent travel.

Explore Holidays, a brand of TravelSpirit, is the travel company that gives you your holiday, the way you want it. Unlike some travel companies, Explore lets you choose what you do - and when. You stay where you like, for as long as you like.

We offer holidays designed for the independent traveller, so there are no limits on what you do, where you go or how long you stay. Explore Holidays are experts in long haul travel and we understand the needs of the long haul traveller. From hotels to tours, sightseeing, special interest activities and car hire, to flights in and around the countries you choose, Explore offers it all.

Where you stay is an important part of travel, so naturally Explore gives you a wide choice. Our brochures include a broad variety of accommodation styles from city and country hotels of every category to B&B's and unique accommodation like lodges, camps, self catering apartments, villa, cottages and even castles!

Over almost 20 years of operation, Explore Holidays has become one of Australia's most respected and sucessful long distance travel companies. Our commitment to quality, variety, flexibility and reliability has seen countless Australians take the holiday of a lifetime to one of the world's greatest destinations.

Charter for Safe Travel

TravelSpirit is a partner in the "Charter for Safe Travel". This is joint initiative between the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Australian travel industry.

While it is the responsibility of the individual traveller to prepare adequately for overseas travel, we recognise the invaluable part we can play to assist this preparation.

As a partner to this Charter, and the interests of traveller safety we commit to:

• Provide travellers with Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) consular travel advice
• Encourage travellers to take adequate insurance
• Inform travellers of the preparations they need to make before travelling

Work closely with the Government to promote the safe travel of Australians overseas.
