Most fun ever getting from Darwin to Adelaide Lynn, NSW, Australia, Jun 2025
Absolute no-hassle short break. Usual great service from Global Journeys, and excellent from Journey Beyond as well. From the pickup at the hotel and transfer to the rail terminal, where there was a great breakfast spread and live music while we waited to board to the drop off at the Adelaide terminal, everything was laid on and everyone was friendly ...read more and helpful. All of the off-train experiences were top-notch and the food, both on train and during excursion was excellent. The single sleeper was well designed but I wouldn't recommend it to tall people. I fitted very comfortably but I am also only just over 160cm tall. I would have no hesitations traveling with Journey Beyond again - Indian Pacific next!
Top end highlights Brigid and Marie , Australia, Jun 2025
Both tour guide and driver were great. Tour guide had great knowledge of everywhere we went. We saw amazing country and the billabong cruise was are highlight. The culture experiences were very interesting. The days were packed and a few of the walks were a bit difficult for some on the tour.

Some (very) bumpy sections - rail/ballast replacement a must - and numerous long dead stops for passing traffic delayed progress. A marvelous way to see just how big Australia really is. WiFi coverage very patchy - a good thing in many ways to allow us to disconnect ...read more from technology and connect with people, but I doubt teenagers would see it that way. They would have to start talking to their parents - a horrible concept for both parties. The last night open-air dinner for 200 was special - tables right alongside the train, and a big starry sky. Incredible big finish to a wonderful adventure.
Perfect Philippines Intro Anna, MO, United States, Apr 2025
I regret only attending this tour for Puerto Princesa and El Nido. This tour really opened my eyes to the adventures and beauty this country has to offer. From planning the group activities to helping a small group of us plan a trip on a free day Albert did amazing. His expertise of the areas was appreciated!
