A tour operator that loves teachers
(and caffeine)

The Small World team is a collection of educators, guides and tourism experts who, in many cases, drink a heck of a lot of coffee. This is because we are insanely dedicated to meeting your educational goals and providing a ridiculously high level of customer service.

“A professional and well-organised trip from start to finish. Materials and experiences matched description. The fact that we had everything so planned was amazing. Guides were personable, energetic and very knowledgeable. Small World Journeys was recommended by everyone we spoke to”.

Our Team

Our team is made up of very different nice folks,
but the one thing that unites us is our love of teaching young people.
Most of us have university degrees – and in some cases masters
degrees and PhDs – with years of tourism expertise to boot. This means
we are good at teaching your students about zooxanthellae with flotsam
jelly fish AND ensuring your hotel pillow is fluffy.

Small World Journeys has given over $5,000 to Rainforest Rescue to support the adoption of rainforest land at risk. Every group that visits the Daintree Rainforest receives a certificate detailing that every $10 donated helps to propagate, grow, and maintain a native tree for one year through Rainforest Rescue’s plant a rainforest project.

Rainforest Rescue is a not-for-profit organisation that has been protecting and restoring rainforests in Australia and internationally since 1998.

We are a proud sponsor of a coral propagation tree at The Great Barrier Reef through Reef Restoration Foundation (RRF). Additionally every one of our groups that visits the reef at Fitzroy Island gets a coral adopted in their name by Small World. RRF is a not-for-profit social enterprise creating optimism for the Great Barrier Reef through innovative coral reef restoration techniques. RRF established the very first ocean-based coral nursery in the Great Barrier Reef to regenerate damaged coral reefs in December 2017 at Fitzroy Island, Cairns and have plans to install a series of other nurseries throughout the Great Barrier Reef.

Cuttings of corals that survived the two recent bleaching events were harvested from a nearby reef and attached to coral tree frames – one of which Small World Journeys sponsored – which accelerates the growth of the corals. This is an unprecedented project on The Great Barrier Reef. The work of the team at RRF and its many volunteers are giving hope to the future of the reef. Small World staff has also regularly volunteered for the Foundation.  See rrf.org.au to see how you can help.

Small World Journeys’ groups participate in a community service project to help patrons of Rosies. Rosies Friends on The Street is a not-for-profit organisation that reaches out to those most in need, those people who are abandoned, marginalised, socially isolated within our community.

Rosies patrons are in need of food, hygiene items and perhaps most importantly, someone to talk to who will be a non-judgemental friend.

Small World Journeys’ students create comfort packs for these patrons that both they and Small World have donated, and they also learn how to upcycle materials into tote bags to hold the hygiene items. Small World staff has also regularly volunteered for the Centre. See rosies.org.au to see you you can help.

We humbly acknowledge Aboriginal People and Torres Strait Islander People as the first inhabitants of Australia and acknowledge Traditional Owners of the lands where we work and our groups travel, which include the Yirrganydji, Yidinji, Kuku Yalanji, and Djabugay people.

We were inspired by the beautiful artwork of local indigenous artist Colin Higgins – painter and musician from Yarrabah. We commissioned Colin for the use of his painting (symbolising the world in the dry season) and are grateful for his contribution to Small World Journeys
