At a Glance

Welcome to the Land Down Under—home to the Aboriginals, one of the world’s oldest surviving cultures and home to the Outback, a landscape of staggering beauty. You will visit the Great Barrier Reef, home to wildlife right out of a science fiction movie, from wombats to platypuses to Tasmanian devils. Join our 15-day adventure and you’ll learn how to survive in the bush, ride an Outback camel, and snorkel the Great Barrier Reef. And the adventure continues as you experience sleeping in a swag, learn to decipher Aboriginal art, help a team of scientists study the coral reefs, tool about Melbourne, make basecamp at Ayer’s Rock, play the didgeridoo, get close up to some crocs, and get cuddly with a koala. How’s that for the trip of a lifetime, mate?

I went on a trip to Australia with DSA and it was awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, fun, exciting, and educational.”
