We would recommend Small World Journeys highly. In addition to the professionalism, we received very personal attention, and interaction that was thoughtful and thorough. Both Martin and the boat guides were excellent – knowledgeable, considerate, communicative and enjoyable to spend time and experiences with. It was great interacting with someone who shared our interests in wildlife biology. They were clearly sustainability focused, and the company itself made its position clear –even to the suggestions of the restaurants!-Barry Jones, (March '11)

Join a Scheduled Trip or Travel Independently.

Single travellers, couples, families, and groups: we are a tour company for folks who don't normally join tours, who are looking for different and authentic experiences. Join one of our small group trips, or we'll customise one to fit your budget and dates.

We Think Small.

This applies to our guided Small Group trips, our impact (we're carbon neutral), and where our money goes (we support locally-owned businesses and guides to keep income in the community).

But the little things--like meeting you at the airport, providing 24-hour in-country support, and adopting a rainforest plot in your name--
are hugely important to us.

About SWJ

Eco-Tours Australia.

We offer responsible tourism trips featuring a variety of adventure and nature activities for single travellers, couples, families and student groups looking for an Australian vacation.

Our trips are not a tour of Australia or "coach tours" with a lot of driving; rather, our responsible travel tours focus on smaller areas for a more intimate and authentic experience. Adult and student tours involve learning about the places we visit as well.

Small Group Travel: our all-inclusive, eco-friendly guided tours in Cairns, Australia, which include snorkeling or diving at the Great Barrier Reef, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, rainforest hiking, whitewater rafting the Tully river, aboriginal culture, an outback cattle station and visiting Australian national parks, are centered around eco tourism, adventure and responsible travel in Australia.

Independent & Custom Journeys: for those who prefer a private trip to Cairns, we can customize tours to suit a variety of tastes and budgets. Our Independent Journeys cater to travelers who favour green travel and eco-friendly holidays, but would rather travel on their own customised itinerary and specify their budget—whether luxury travel or budget travel. Perfect for a family vacation in Australia or a honeymoon in Cairns Australia.

Student tours Australia: A learning vacation! High school students and college/university students will find that Australia is the perfect place to study rainforest ecology, marine science, indigenous culture and biology, and have a fun time while on a vacation.
