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

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.

A very belated thank you to the three of you for organising and running such a great tour for us all to enjoy.  It was a lot to process and take in at the time, but now I‘ve had time to reflect on all the places we visited/stayed in and experiences we had, I realise there wasn’t one thing I didn’t 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 (mainly!) and the benefit of it being so small is that we all got to know each other and find things in common.
It’s hard to pinpoint my favourite places and activities but I loved the Clare Valley area, walking up to the Hills Homestead in Wilpena and understanding the whole concept of the Wilpena Pound, Arkaroola for its philosophy for being, the special lunches and morning teas at such isolated places (and their quirkinesses), especially at Parachilna, and the Pichi Richi railway.   The four wheel drive experiences were just that, experiences never to be forgotten for different reasons, and although long (and bumpy) were necessary to get an overview of the areas.  I survived the bumpiness of 5 of the internal flights and being chosen as the ‘co-pilot’ was an unexpected delight and novelty,  but unfortunately the 6th was one too many – nothing to do with the flight and Lake Eyre and everything to do with my body’s life long propensity to react to certain modes of transport under challenging motion conditions.  However, I will never let it ruin my travelling and intend to keep doing it for as long as I can.
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.   Enjoy your much needed break over the next few weeks as you recharge your batteries for what I’m sure will be another busy year.

After such a wonderful trip, I feel compelled to write to thank you both. It was the holiday of a life time for me probably my “last hurrah” I’m not surprised your business is going so well as you are two beautiful people kind & caring & very efficient. It will be a pleasure to recommend you.

I’ve just returned from the most amazing tour to South Australia – the Flinders Ranges and Lake Eyre. Holly you have excelled this time with the most amazing itinerary. As usual, great accommodation and food, with extra specials thrown in. It was fantastic to see Scott and Rog bouncing off each other, and it was obvious they were excited at doing this new tour together in the new coach. Three days flying with Arid Air from Marree was awesome and extra special to see so much water in Lake Eyre flowing in from the Warburton  river and Cooper Creek. Looking forward to my next trip. Thanks for the new name Rog!

I have recently come back from a tour with Aurora Coach tours in the Flinders Ranges. It was a fantastic experience, seeing first-hand the magnificent mountain scenery and Lake Eyre with water in it.  Aurora did a magnificent job; we had a small congenial group and Scott and Rog were great group leaders. I know Holly worked hard in the background in arranging what was a fascinating itinerary. The standout feature was the personal touches that Scott and Rog gave and the fact we were able to see interesting places and people that the larger tour operators would not bother to do. Another plus was the innovative ideas such as light aircraft charter allowing us to see the countryside and Laker Eyre up close from the air. Well done guys!

A quick note to say thank you for all the hard work you both put in to make our recent tour of the Kimberley a holiday we will never forget. The ever changing scenery was breathtaking, changing colours under different light conditions and offering something different as we travelled through the countryside. Scott your knowledge of the country added to our experience. The bus was extremely roomy and comfortable and never having to handle our luggage was beyond the service we ever expected. Congratulations on the way the two of you handled the ever changing Covid regulations and despite our unanticipated lockdown in Kununurra you both managed to change our schedule so nothing was missed. We will definitely recommend Aurora to our friends and will be travelling with you again soon.
