2004 marks the beginning of an exciting relationship between TrekAmerica and our new friend �down under� - Lets Trek Australia. With over 30 years of experience operating the best adventure tours in North America, we thought it was about time to broaden our horizons and offer our loyal clients a new destination, so TrekAmerica is thrilled to introduce our antipodean partner.

The concept remains the same, offering small group adventure camping and lodging tours to travellers from around the world, but with a distinctly Australian flavour (this is hardly surprising as Lets Trek Australia was founded by an ex-TrekAmerica tour leader!). With over 10 years experience you can be sure that Lets Trek Australia offers the same value and quality as TrekAmerica and knows the best places to go across a largely inaccessible continent just barely smaller than the contiguous United States.

What makes Lets Trek Australia special? � Itineraries cover all of Australia � 12 itineraries from 2 to 40 days, year-round. � Small intimate groups � maximum 14 passengers � No single supplements � Flexible itineraries afford opportunity to adjust to the group�s interests � Numerous activities included in the price � Optional activities allow you to adjust the tour to suit your fitness level and budget

Lets Trek Australia practices the same style, format and quality that have made TrekAmerica the undisputed leader within this unique genre of adventure travel. However, some subtle differences exist and it would be beneficial to point them out here: Lets Trek Australia has a maximum group size of 14 passengers, utilises various class of rugged transport depending on terrain, includes all accommodation on tour, and has no age limits above 18 years. Aside from those minor details, and of course, the geography, your knowledge and confidence in TrekAmerica can be cross-applied to offer your clientele an intimate and low-impact alternative to travelling in Australia.

Lets Trek Australia provides the safety, security and convenience of group travel with the freedom and flexibility of independent travel. What greater way to see the sublime vastness of Australia�s beaches, reefs, mountains and deserts?
