Welcome to
Aurora Coach Tours. Specialising in luxury coach travel for seniors.

Just a note to thank you and your team for a most enjoyable tour to Longreach and Winton last week, It was great to have Max see us through Sydney and the onward connection from Brisbane to Longreach, and from there being met by Rog and Ali who certainly went above and beyond for the duration of the tour.  I am extremely grateful for the care and consideration extended to my brother Patrick Tonner ..from wheelchair assistance Qantas both boarding/disembarking aircraft and also for the wheelchair at the Qantas museum Longreach. I now look forward very much to my travel Broome to Perth in August, again with Rog and Ali, and the coach with such amazing leg room. The Longreach tour was my first with Aurora, and I certainly will be looking at future tours as and when they arise.

The Outback Queensland trip was my first travel experience in a coach group so I have nothing to compare it with in a way, but I found it excellent in so many ways. Rog and Ali were so welcoming, friendly, helpful, efficient and a lot of fun.  The way things were organised was so efficient without being officious.  The design of the whole trip provided such a variety of experiences, which gave an insight into the way life pans out in the outback, which was one of the things I was hoping for. The inclusion of lots of visits to museums and historical places I found especially enjoyable: one thing that appealed was the variety. Walking into a dozen museum buildings would have become boring, but the inclusion of talks in some places, some being outside venues etc. avoided ANY boredom! The sharing of bush poetry in a few settings, and the ways that was done, especially Angie at the Thompson River sharing through her own experiences, were one of the key things in giving me insight into the life in outback Queensland via enjoyable experiences. I loved all of it but I have to give a special mention to the stage coach ride! Fantastic.  Thanks for the way you get things done in Aurora.

Hi Scott, Holly and Warwick, I just wanted to say how great the coach trip to Norfolk Island 23rd – 30th March was. Warwick was the perfect leader, so attentive and caring.  We saw so many wonderful parts of this picturesque island and heard lots of stories  from the locals about their rich history. We had good accommodation, lots of fun and were blessed with perfect warm weather which helped to make it a very memorable experience. Thanks to all at Aurora

Just back from my 2nd Coach trip with Rog and Ali. There are not enough superlatives to describe the experience to the Flinders Ranges. It was a geography/geology university course in 5 days!! So much information. I am still in awe of your change of plan to fly to Birdsville for lunch. Never did I think that I would go there and see the floods. the land etc. The adrenaline is still pumping. The whole tour was so well put together. .it is your attention to detail that puts your tours above the rest. Congratulations to all

PORT MACQUARIE

I am writing on behalf of Sandra and myself to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed our recent tour to Tasmania with your company Aurora. We really appreciated that you were there to greet us at airport and ensure all passengers arrived at the departure gate. Likewise when we returned we were looked after so well. The personal touch you include is amazing. Looking after everyone involved so well. I loved being immersed in the natural bush and landscape, beautiful views from Tamar Resort. The little bit of Switzerland at Grindelwald, Freycinet, Beaconsfield – the guided tour very good. The group was very inclusive of everyone, largely due to the way Ali and Rog mixed with everyone at meals etc. That same personal touch is true of the wonderful crew on our coach. Ali and Rog were wonderful hosts and worked so hard ensuring the comfort of us all. They were very obliging, ( particularly considering my mobility issues) entertaining and personable. Also  the coach was extremely comfortable. Continue what you are doing so well Scott and Holly.

NORTH KELLYVILLE

A very belated thank you to the three of you for organising and running such a great tour for us all to enjoy.  Having not been brought up in Australia my knowledge of its geography was pretty much nil, so it came as a great surprise to me to realise not only how vast SA is, but also how dry, arid and relatively flat it was.  A great deal of that was due to all the flights without which  we wouldn’t have had such a broad understanding of the state from south to north.  Your hard research and work to set it all up for us gave us such a gamut of experiences allowing us to take in all the history, landforms and living conditions. I thought the Kimberley area to Darwin was huge, but it was nothing compared to SA! Thank you especially Scott and Max for making each day on ‘the coal face’ so seamless for us.  I know that a lot happens behind the scenes from all three of you for that the happen and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. We had a great tour group and the benefit of it being so small is that we all got to know each other and find things in common. Thank you each again for your part in making our tour so memorable and congratulations on creating such a successful business tailored for us ‘oldies’ to enjoy travelling around Australia.  Looking forward to Perth-Broome in 2025.
Kindest regards

THE PONDS

I have just returned from my first trip with Aurora to Tasmania. It’s made me want to do more trips with you. It was an amazing trip thanks to Rog and Ali who were the perfect team, and looked after our every need. The accommodation and food were excellent, we covered so much and experienced many interesting things. What I would like to enquire about is when will your 2026 brochure by available. I’m planning on booking in a few.
