Scenic is Australian-founded
Founded in 1986 in Newcastle by Glen Moroney, Scenic’s entry into the travel industry was through touring throughout Australia. Creating unique journeys across this stunning landscape is in our DNA. We deliver first-class service and are proud of our heritage after more than three decades in the business, continuing our passion and commitment to helping Australians explore Australia. Scenic goes to the Nth Degree to ensure all guests have the holiday of a lifetime – where it be at home or abroad.
Everything is taken care of so you can relax and enjoy
If you have ever planned a holiday, you know how overwhelming it can be to organise the itinerary and consider all the logistics. Researching which accommodation is best in remote areas? How far can you drive each day without getting too tired to explore? Where are the best sights to see? Who can tell me the stories about the places I will visit?
Travelling in Australia with Scenic is an ideal way to eliminate the hassle of planning and take advantage of our decades of expertise. With all the details taken care of, all you need to do is pack your bags and enjoy!

Why drive when you can unwind?
Perhaps you’ve considered a self-drive trip through the outback? The roads of the outback and remote areas of Australia, require some special skills and local knowledge that can’t be assumed unless you’ve covered the terrain many times. Like when is the best time drive when wildlife is not as active along the roads?
Meet like-minded travellers
Joining a small group of travellers adds a social aspect to your holiday, especially if you are travelling solo. It also provides a sense of relief if you are feeling nervous about travelling. Many enjoy the interactions, make life-long friends and even head off on second and third Scenic adventures together.
