Our itineraries are bold and colourful, so are our tour guides.
We drive scenic roads and coastal highway and have luxury accommodation waiting after a big day. We offer excursions such as Helicopter rides and guided walks and have everything organised down to the last meal, with free newspapers for a spot of reading or challenging sudoku.

We are passionate about bringing like-minded individuals together to explore this beautiful landscape we call our backyard and are ready to go full steam ahead with our next tour the moment it is safe to do so.

For now, we will continue to bring you stunning photography, travel stories and helpful tips during these unprecedented times.

FEATURES: HIGHER CHIMNEY EFFECT: Dragon3 combines a larger radiating surface with the speed of hot air convection, thanks to the exclusive structure of its fins, which form a series of vertical shafts for a “chimney effect”. Once cold air goes through these chimneys, it is warmed and moved upwards, creating constant outflow, with high thermal exchange and fast emission of warm air into the room.
