Where Will the World Take You?

Travel is the most powerful education a person can give themselves. It reshapes perspective, dissolves assumptions, and replaces maps with memories.

Our world travel video collection captures the essence of the planet's most extraordinary destinations — from Europe's ancient capitals and Asia's spiritual heartlands to the raw wilderness of North America and the reef-and-red-earth splendour of Australia and the Pacific. Each film is a doorway. Step through and see where it takes you.

Cooee Tours has been guiding travellers through Australia's extraordinary landscapes for 25 years. These videos reflect our conviction that extraordinary travel begins with genuine curiosity — and that the world's most remarkable places reward the travellers who take the time to understand them.

Reasons to travel

European Travel

🏰 Europe

Europe is the world's most visited continent for good reason. In an area smaller than North America, you can move from Atlantic coastline to alpine peaks to Mediterranean island in the span of a week — crossing a dozen languages, cuisines, and architectural traditions along the way. Few places on earth reward slow travel as richly.

🗼
France & the Alps
From the boulevards of Paris to the ski resorts of Chamonix and the lavender fields of Provence — France rewards every travel style.
🍕
Italy's Eternal Cities & Coastlines
Rome, Florence, Venice, the Amalfi Coast and the islands of Sicily and Sardinia form one of the world's great travel itineraries.
🌊
Greece & the Aegean
Santorini's whitewashed villages, Mykonos, the Acropolis, and the ancient ruins of Delphi — Greece is where mythology becomes landscape.
  • Best time to visit Europe: May–June or September for good weather without August crowds
  • Schengen Zone: 26 countries with free movement — one visa covers most of Europe
  • Getting around: Europe's rail network is excellent; Eurail passes offer great value

Asian Travel

🏯 Asia

Asia is a continent of extremes that somehow exists in perfect harmony — ancient and ultramodern, sacred and frenzied, tropical and Himalayan. Nowhere else on earth can you move from a tenth-century temple to a gleaming megacity, from a remote mountain village to a palm-fringed island, all within a single journey.

⛩️
Japan — Tradition Meets Tomorrow
Cherry blossoms in Kyoto, bullet trains, Mount Fuji, the streets of Tokyo and the deer parks of Nara. Japan consistently ranks among the world's most extraordinary travel destinations.
🌺
Southeast Asia — Island Archipelagos & Temples
Bali's terraced rice paddies, Angkor Wat, Ha Long Bay, Luang Prabang's Buddhist temples, and the beaches of Thailand make Southeast Asia one of the world's great travel regions.
🏔️
Himalayan Kingdoms
Nepal's trekking routes, Bhutan's fortress monasteries, and the Tibetan plateau offer spiritual journeys unlike anywhere else on the planet.
  • Best time for Southeast Asia: November–April (dry season)
  • Japan's peak seasons: Cherry blossom (late March–April) and autumn foliage (Oct–Nov)
  • Stopover tip: Singapore, Bangkok, and Tokyo are ideal halfway stops between Australia and Europe

North American Travel

🗽 North America

From the glaciers of Alaska to the deserts of Baja California, North America encompasses landscapes of an almost implausible variety — and the infrastructure to explore them. America's national park system alone is one of the world's great acts of conservation and tourism, protecting 63 extraordinary landscapes covering 340,000 square kilometres.

🏔️
The National Parks
Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Glacier National Park form a bucket-list circuit through some of the planet's most dramatic geology.
🏙️
Iconic Cities
New York City's skyline, San Francisco's bay, New Orleans' jazz scene, Chicago's architecture, and Vancouver's mountain-meets-ocean setting — America's cities are as diverse as its landscapes.
🍁
Canada's Wild North
Banff and Jasper's turquoise lakes, the Northern Lights in the Yukon, and British Columbia's coastal rainforests offer wilderness travel at its most spectacular.
  • Best time for the national parks: Late May–September (road access and wildflowers)
  • Canada's Banff and Jasper: Best June–September; winter offers skiing and Northern Lights
  • Flight tip: Many international flights from Australia transit via Los Angeles — consider a stopover

Australia & the Pacific

🦘 Australia & Pacific

This is where Cooee Tours lives. For 25 years we've been guiding travellers through the extraordinary landscapes of Australia and the islands of the Pacific — and we can honestly say this region has no equal on earth. Nowhere else combines ancient desert monoliths, tropical reef systems, cool-temperate wilderness, and world-class cities in a single destination.

🤿
The Great Barrier Reef, Queensland
The world's largest coral reef system — 2,300km of extraordinary marine life, from minke whales to sea turtles. The June–October dry season offers the clearest water.
🌅
Uluru & the Red Centre, NT
One of the world's most powerful landscapes — Uluru at sunrise is an experience that genuinely changes people. April–September is the window.
🌴
The Pacific Islands
Fiji's turquoise lagoons, Vanuatu's volcanic islands, Tahiti's overwater bungalows, and the Cook Islands combine paradise beaches with extraordinary cultural depth.
  • Best overall time for Australia: April–May and September–October (shoulder seasons)
  • Pacific Islands: May–October (dry season, outside cyclone risk)
  • Our expertise: 25+ years guiding Australian tours — ATAS accredited, ★ 4.9 TripAdvisor

World Travel — FAQ

Questions our travel team hears most often from people in the early stages of planning an international trip.

The world's most consistently inspiring destinations include Patagonia (Argentina/Chile), the Amalfi Coast (Italy), Kyoto (Japan), Machu Picchu (Peru), the Serengeti (Tanzania), Bali (Indonesia), New Zealand's South Island, Iceland, the Great Barrier Reef (Australia), and Uluru in the Australian Outback. These combine extraordinary natural landscapes with cultural depth and genuine memorability — the quality that separates truly transformative travel from a pleasant holiday.
For first-time international travellers from Australia, the most popular choices are Bali for its affordability and ease, Japan for extraordinary safety and culture, New Zealand for spectacular scenery close to home, and Europe for history and variety. For international visitors coming to Australia, Sydney combined with the Great Barrier Reef is consistently one of the world's best first international destination itineraries — it covers two radically different but equally extraordinary experiences within a two-week window.
Europe offers millennia of visible history, world-class art and architecture, and exceptional food and wine — particularly strong for culture-focused, city-based travel. Asia offers extraordinary value for money, incredible food diversity, spiritual depth, and landscapes ranging from tropical beaches to Himalayan peaks. Many travellers from Australia combine both by routing through a stopover city like Singapore, Tokyo, or Dubai — adding a two-night stopover costs little extra but adds an entirely new destination to the journey.
It depends heavily on destination. Europe is best May–September. Southeast Asia is ideal November–April (dry season). Japan's cherry blossom season (late March–April) and autumn colours (October–November) are extraordinary. North America's national parks shine June–September. For Australia — our home ground — April–May and September–October offer the best combination of good weather, thinner crowds, and lower prices.
