Travelling by private aircraft, ‘Aircruising’ conquers the tyranny of distance, while providing a commanding view of the outback, wetlands, rainforests and untamed coastlines of Australia. With direct landings into each destination we have more time to discover each destination through leisurely cruises and revealing ground excursions.

Bill Peach Journeys in-depth knowledge and wealth of experience within Australia has been used to develop an exclusive range of Australian Expedition Journeys to provide a more in-depth exploration of some of Australia’s most sought after regions. Intimate and stylish, overland journeys have a combination of transport modes, however a major portion is by road. Four wheel drive, mini-coach, aircraft, cruise vessel or rail may also be used as the destination dictates. These journeys may be undertaken as a small escorted group tour or as a private journey for independent travellers.

History of Bill Peach Journeys
Throughout the past 25 years, Bill Peach Journeys has demonstrated unsurpassed innovation and a passion for creating unique and stylish travel experiences. The company began with a vision of providing more personal and enlightening air cruise experiences in Australia.

Founded in 1983, by Nancy Knudsen and Bill Peach, the company began by utilising private aircraft to create spectacular luxury travel experiences of outback Australia. ‘Aircruising’ was the concept of travel writer and media personality Bill Peach. An intrepid adventurer, he set off with film crew by his side, in search of the ‘real’ Australia. It didn’t take him long to realise that ‘Aircruising’ was the perfect way to see Australia’s vast continent.

Bill Peach's in-depth knowledge and wealth of experience in Australia has been used to develop an exclusive range of Australian Expeditions, designed to provide a more intimate exploration of specific regions of Australia. Australian Expeditions use a combination of transport modes, although the major portion is by road. These journeys take a small group of approximately 16 people.

Quality Accommodation
Hotels are chosen to capture each destination’s character. Accommodation extends from elegant, centrally located city hotels to small, boutique style establishments in picturesque locations and remote hideaways. Where available, accommodation will be five star, in places where this is not possible accommodation has been chosen to ensure you receive the highest standard of service and comfort available for that destination.

Fine Cuisine
The journey planners have carefully selected dining opportunities that are often an experience in themselves. Where possible, meals are a-la-carte or self-selection, offering you the freedom to experience each region’s distinct character through its local produce.

Modes of Transportation
Aircruising Australia - travel is by 36 seat Dash 8 Aircraft.
