By working collectively as a group we provide a range of unique and exciting programs across our destinations. Each small to medium-sized privately owned business specialises in different regions to provide once-in-a-lifetime experiences. They live and breathe their product so their authenticity and attention to detail is second-to-none. Due to our extensive experience in operating tours in Australia and New Zealand, Real Adventure Group was born originally as Real Aussie & Kiwi Adventures. We then broadened our horizons to Asia where our existing partners expanded their operations as the demands for these destinations grew. You can take comfort in knowing that in some of our more wild and remote destinations you are travelling with companies that have vast experience in established and highly reputable tourism destinations such as Australia and New Zealand. Equally importantly, all of our partners have teamed up with local experts in their Asian destinations to give their trips that important local spice and know-how that every tour needs.

F L E X I B I L I T Y ( ( ( If you're lucky enough to be taking an extended break Down Under and have time to spare, then you may like to take advantage of many of our "Open Dated" products which allow you to pay for your ticket in advance and then book in your desired date once you're in Australia or New Zealand. Why if you're flexible would you pay for something in advance when you could wait? Good question, there's two reasons. 1. On many of our products you receive a special offshore price when you book 90 days in advance which is cheaper than what you will pay in Australia and 2. It helps with your budgeting. If you have a set amount of time in Australia and need to pre-plan your itinerary then you will have access to many of these offshore “Earlybird” prices too.
