Know Before You Go
New South Wales lies on the east coast of Australia. The State capital, Sydney, is Australia's premier gateway and the largest city in Australia. Well serviced by flights from across the world, NSW also has a network of regional airlines, trains, buses and coach services making it easy to get around.
One of the best ways to enjoy the stunning national parks of NSW is on foot. For enjoyable and safe bushwalking, plan ahead, check weather conditions, wear appropriate clothing and tell someone where you're heading off to. Make sure you carry drinking water, wear a hat, good walking shoes and pack your sunscreen.

Our trip back East was truly amazing and we want to thank you for making it possible to have such a stress free holiday. Everything turned out perfectly. We enjoyed the variety and the different modes of travel and tours. All in all it was a trip of a life time and one that we will not forget.
Beth B
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The Rockies are spectacular. Thank you for putting it all together.
Mary O
Just a quick note to thank you for planning my trip to Saskatchewan. I enjoyed my stay there, beautiful province. The hotel locations were perfect, made going around easy :-)
Emefa A
My clients returned from their tour and said it was great. Outstanding actually.
Norma W
It has been an absolute pleasure working with Vasil. He is incredibly patient with my changes and put together the most amazing itinerary.
J Revesz
We had a really great time! The group of 8 was the perfect size. Our tour leader did a stellar job of engaging the group and working behind the scenes to ensure we had a wonderful trip. We dog sledded, snowmobiled and at the end of the night witnessed a dramatic Aurora show dancing across the sky while parked on the frozen lake. It was unreal. Meals were all fantastic as well. The winter clothing package was a must. We will definitively return to Yellowknife, a great winter destination.

Would go on another trip (with Anderson Vacations) any day.
Camile J
This is the second Canadian tour we have done with Anderson and both have been an experience we will never forget.
M Thomas
I love everything Anderson Vacations does and stands for. I am a travel professional in Vancouver. Anderson Vacations assists me by creating amazing custom journeys for my clients. The service is heads above and beyond their competitors. Yesterday Darcie Guarderas our Business Development Manager hosted an educational and fun seminar for her agency partners. With a true passion and customer focus with a lot of humour Darcie led us on a magical trip to Vancouver Island. From academy work at home desk in Vancouver I felt I was having tea at the Empress, I saw the amazing totem poles in Duncan and I visited Chemainus an Coombes. I lived on the island between 1979 and 1985 and I felt that I had gone home again. Thank you so much. It made my whole week.
Philip Beck
The tour was wonderful, and our guides were top notch!!
Debbie
Just want to say I enjoyed all aspects of the tour - to me everything was excellent ............. tour guides (yourselves), hotel (loved it), food (so good), and sightseeing tours (entertaining and informative). I was so impressed with the winter clothing gear - never felt cold at any time other than when I had to take the gloves off sometimes to use the camera. This trip was number 1 on my bucket list so will enjoy the memories!
Marita
The Yellowknife trip was great – the food – your tour guides – the tours – the display of northern lights and Yellowknife itself was just wonderful.
