EXPERIENCES

Australia is vast, wild, and unlike anywhere else on Earth. The experiences we design come from years of exploration, across reefs, deserts, and mountain ranges that taught us what the real Australia feels like. ​

 

You don’t come all this way to just tick off a few major cities. You come to feel the red dust on your boots, snorkel and dive into untouched reefs, and watch the sun rise over ancient gorges.

 

Strada Expeditions was created to help you experience the real Australia, safely, comfortably, and with a sense of adventure. Whether it’s luxury, off-grid, or something in between, we’ll design a journey you’ll never forget.

Expedition Cruises

Australia’s coastline is a world of its own, stretching from the ancient cliffs of the Kimberley to the coral reefs and islands of Far North Queensland. Travelling aboard a small expedition ship allows you to reach places inaccessible by road, combining the comfort of life on board with daily explorations of remote coastlines, secluded islands and some of the country’s most spectacular marine environments.

Unlike traditional cruises, expedition voyages are about discovery rather than destinations. Days are spent exploring by Zodiac, walking remote beaches, snorkelling pristine reefs and stepping ashore where very few people ever visit. Whether you’re drawn by wildlife, Aboriginal culture, photography or simply the chance to experience Australia’s coastline from a completely different perspective, these journeys offer an unforgettable way to explore some of the country’s most remarkable regions.

Every charter is tailored around the experience you’re looking for, whether that’s a relaxing escape with family and friends, an adventurous island hopping itinerary or a luxury expedition to some of Australia’s most remote coastal regions. Spend your days snorkelling pristine reefs, fishing secluded waters, enjoying sunset drinks on deck or simply unwinding as your crew takes care of every detail, creating an unforgettable journey from beginning to end.

Signature experiences include:

• Fully crewed private yacht charters
