AAT Kings has announced a new range of small group tours limited to groups of up to 24 guests per departure and designed to provide a more intimate and personalised experience for travellers.
The new offering provides guests with expertly crafted tours at a great price point and allows them to enjoy enhanced access to remote regions, personalised service, and the same premium quality experiences.
The Small Group offering kicks off in South Australia from September 2025 with immersive experiences, including the South Australia Outback Adventure, Remarkable Adelaide to Kangaroo Island, and South Australian Eyre Peninsula Escape. A selection of small group departures will also be available on 2025/2026 Perfect Tasmania and New Zealand’s Southern Spirit tours. The full suite of Small Group products will then roll out across the AAT Kings’ 2026/2027 season, available to book from July 2025, expanding to incorporate additional destinations including Northern Territory and Western Australia.
Each Small Group tour includes unique accommodation options, such as Wilpena Pound Resort nestled within the heart of South Australia’s breathtaking Flinders Ranges, offering the opportunity to stay in the region’s most iconic landscapes. A range of optional activities will also be available on Small Group Tours and can be added to itineraries upon request. For example, guests can opt for a charter flight over Tasmania’s pristine Southwest Wilderness or partake in authentic culinary experiences at Dunedin Craft Distiller’s ‘Bread to Bottle Tour’.
Each tour provides access to remote destinations and integrate the ‘Make Travel Matter’ ethos, ensuring each trip contributes to sustainability and positively impacts local communities. For instance, on the Ridgetop Track in South Australia, Arkaroola, has established an education and research foundation to promote science, education, and conservation, and AAT Kings donate $10 for every guest who visits.
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.
“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,” AAT Kings Group CEO Ben Hall, said.
“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. Whether they are exploring the wilderness, meeting locals, or staying in beautiful accommodation, 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.”
To celebrate the launch, AAT Kings is offering savings of up to $2,000 per couple on select Small Group tours booked by 8 July 2025.
