Asia Transpacific Journeys Offers Aircruising Within Australia and New Zealand to Conquer Time and Distance

Asia Transpacific Journeys has created a way to conquer the difficult logistics that time and distance can impose on the want-to-see-it-all traveler. Dubbed aircruising, it's a way to experience diverse landscapes that under most circumstances can take weeks or even months to traverse.
"We've been at the business of showcasing Asia and the Pacific Rim for over 20 years," says CEO Marilyn Downing Staff. "Some countries, in particular massive Australia, could only be experienced in fragments- until now."

Aircruising, she says, is a new travel concept that utilizes private aircraft to enable travelers to see the remote and often inaccessible parts of Australia in comfort and style. Aircruising covers vast distances, while providing commanding views, then landing in remote areas of the outback, the wetlands, rainforests and untamed coastlines of Australia. Travel is by a private 34-seat Dash-8 aircraft designed to ensure maximum in-air comfort and to access many remote and otherwise inaccessible regions.

"One of the highlights of aircruising," she says, "is the opportunity to experience spectacular aerial 'flight seeing' of Australia's natural treasures. Viewing these scenic landscapes from above is regularly rated by our travelers as one of their major highlights of the experience."

Spectacular views from the low-flying aircraft are complimented by mounted cameras that transmit the images to on-board flat-screen TVs. On the ground clients are afforded more time to discover each destination close-up through leisurely cruises, revealing ground excursions and contact with local people.

In addition to five unique itineraries within Australia, she says that Asia Transpacific Journeys is also offering an aircruise program for New Zealand.

"Australia demands a mode of travel that addresses its vast distances, while the same mode works well for New Zealand's diverse landscapes because the natural splendors are fully showcased with the aerial vantage point."

An example of one of the five Australia programs is the 12-day GREAT AUSTRALIAN AIRCRUISE that ranges from the rugged beauty of the Bungle Bungle's in north Western Australia to Australia's most famed icon, Ayers Rock in Central Australia. Destinations include Longreach, Katherine Gorge, Kakadu National Park, Arnhem Land, Darwin,
The Kimberley, Buccaneer Archipelago, Broome, Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), Alice Springs, MacDonnell Ranges and Birdsville. The per person rate is $9,792 (based on double occupancy).

A 12-day CLASSIC NEW ZEALAND AIRCRUISE with March and November departures includes Auckland, Waiheke Island, Bay of Islands, Rotorua, Napier, Wellington, Nelson, Te Anau, Doubtful Sound, Queenstown, Dunedin and Christchurch. The per person rate is $7,259 (based on double occupancy).

Rates include beyond-the-ordinary lodging, nearly all meals, transport, private guides, transfers, visa fees, tips, entrance fees, medical and emergency insurance and a comprehensive pre-departure packet.

Says Downing Staff: "The fine art of travel is all about having the best possible experiences during the day and in the evening retiring to a great hotel. Asia Transpacific Journeys understands that while travel is about capturing the allure of each destination and experiencing its highlights, it is also about good food, relaxing with your favorite drink, stylish surroundings and a comfortable bed. That is why choosing the right accommodation is a priority for us. The style of accommodation extends from the elegant, centrally located city hotels to small boutique properties in remote hideaways."

Asia Transpacific Journeys, the definitive expert in travel to Asia and the Pacific Rim, also conducts 18 different itineraries throughout this greater region for Small Groups (maximum 16 travelers) that showcase in-depth cultural explorations of the region. Custom Journeys are also a company specialty.

Says CEO Downing Staff: "Our intimate, in-depth style promotes cross-cultural understanding, encourages environmental sustainability, and fulfills long-held personal dreams." She notes that Asia Transpacific Journeys' regional expertise also makes it the operator of choice for dozens of America's most demanding universities and museums.

For 2007, Asia Transpacific Journeys includes expanding itineraries of Small Group Trips and Custom Journeys to over 20 countries in North Asia, South Asia, SE Asia and the Pacific. Some trips also support global conservation and cultural preservation. Asia Transpacific Journeys' own non-profit Asia Transpacific Foundation, established in 1998, works with rural Asian communities to provide clean drinking water through locally made ceramic water filters.

National Geographic Traveler (Oct 2006) has selected Asia Transpacific Journeys' Myanmar Trip as one of "50 Tours of a Lifetime"
