Cooee Tours — Australia’s Best Guided Group Tours
Cooee Tours is a Brisbane-based travel company specialising in premium small group guided tours across Australia, New Zealand and the world’s most captivating destinations. With more than 35 years of experience, a 4.8-star traveller rating, and over 50,000 guests welcomed, we’ve built a reputation for delivering journeys that go far beyond the standard tourist trail.
Our Australia tours range from snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef and watching the sun rise over Uluru to sipping Cabernet Sauvignon at a Margaret River cellar door and walking the wild coastline of Tasmania. Across the Tasman, our New Zealand tours showcase Milford Sound, the glaciers of the South Island, Maori culture, and some of the finest Pinot Noir on the planet.
Every itinerary is designed by Australians who have travelled these routes personally — not assembled from a generic template in an overseas office.
Whether you’re seeking the best food in Western Australia, a Great Barrier Reef snorkelling adventure, a luxury Uluru sunset experience, or a fully customised private journey through New Zealand’s South Island fjords, our tours are designed for travellers who value comfort, connection, and authentic experiences that go far beyond the standard tourist trail.
Based in Brisbane, Queensland, our team of local travel specialists has spent years building relationships with the best accommodation providers, restaurants, winery operators, cultural guides and transport partners across every Australian state and territory.
Why Our Guided Tours Rank Among Australia’s Best
Australia is a vast country with an extraordinary range of landscapes, climates, cultures and experiences. Navigating it well requires genuine local expertise — and that’s exactly what Cooee Tours delivers. Unlike large coach operators that pack 40+ passengers onto rigid schedules, our small group touring model is built around quality, flexibility and personal attention.
Our itineraries are built with on-the-ground knowledge. We live and operate in Australia, which means your experience is shaped by real local insight — not outsourced operations run from overseas offices. When you call Cooee Tours, you speak directly to the people who design and run your tour.
