Autopia Tours – Western Australia
Things To Do Beckenham, Gosnells, Western Australia
It’s been 31 years since the very first Autopia Tour showcased Victoria’s highlights to a small group of international travellers. The Melbourne-based small group specialist is expanding its footprint with a range of new Western Australian touring itineraries.
The new trips spell a new era for Autopia Tours (part of the Get Lost Travel Group), who move firmly into the realm of extended touring. With itineraries ranging from between one to seven days, they connect Perth to tourism hubs such as Monkey Mia, Exmouth (gateway to Ningaloo Reef), Karijini National Park and Broome.
