TORONTO — AAT Kings is launching an exciting new range of Small Group Tours across Australia and New Zealand that promises a more intimate and personalised adventure.
With groups capped at just 24 guests, travellers can explore hidden gems and remote spots while enjoying the top-notch service and experiences AAT Kings is known for—all without breaking the bank.
To celebrate the launch, AAT Kings is offering savings of up to 10% on selected land-only Small Group Tours booked by July 8, 2025.
“Our new Small Group Tour offering is designed for those seeking a real connection with each destination they visit, while offering an intimate and immersive tour experience,” said Ben Hall, CEO of AAT Kings Group. “We have offered premium small group tours for some time via the Inspiring Journeys brand and are excited to launch AAT Kings Small Group tours to complement the existing product.”
He added: “Whether they are exploring the wilderness, meeting locals, or staying in beautiful accommodations, we are proud to be offering these new experiences that go beyond the ordinary and make travel accessible in an increasingly personal way, with a maximum group number of 24 across a range of our most popular itineraries.”
The first wave of tours will launch in South Australia in September 2025, featuring immersive itineraries such as the South Australia Outback Adventure, Remarkable Adelaide to Kangaroo Island, and South Australian Eyre Peninsula Escape. Additional small group departures will also be introduced for the Perfect Tasmania and New Zealand’s Southern Spirit tours during the 2025/2026 season.
AAT Kings plans to expand its Small Group product line in July 2025 with the release of the full 2026/2027 tour season, which will include destinations in the Northern Territory and Western Australia.
Each Small Group tour will include unique accommodations like Wilpena Pound Resort, nestled within South Australia’s Flinders Ranges. Guests will also have the opportunity to enhance their itineraries with optional experiences, such as charter flights over Tasmania’s South West Wilderness or culinary adventures like Dunedin Craft Distiller’s ‘Bread to Bottle Tour’.
The new small group itineraries will also incorporate the operator’s MAKE TRAVEL MATTER Experiences, promoting sustainable tourism and community engagement. One such example is the Ridgetop Track in South Australia’s Arkaroola region, where AAT Kings donates $10 per guest to support local education and conservation initiatives. Examples of additional itineraries, which will be added to the Small Group Tours product as part of the 2026/27 season include the Tasmania & Flinders Island Explorer, Untamed New Zealand, and an Outback Icons tour.
