Starting in 1975 with just one tour to the west coast of North America, interNATIONAL PARKtours now operates over 30 walking tours in Australia and around the world. The company is family-owned and our office is located in Australia’s Gold Coast hinterland (near Lamington National Park).

The style and nature of our tours have evolved over the years, but the essence is the same. Enjoy half- and full-day walks in national parks and wild places. Carry nothing more than a day pack so you have the freedom to explore. Relax and unwind at the end of the day in comfortable accommodation. Taste the local cuisine or enjoy delicious camp meals and picnics. These elements combine to give you a refreshing and energising holiday. We also organise special interest tours including birding, wildlife, self-discovery and community immersion.

Each year we look forward to stepping out of daily life and travelling this world with new and old friends. Before and during a tour, connections are made, plans become reality and experiences are shared. Out of a tour come inspiration, reunions, celebrations and friendships, many of them life-long.

  Whether you are travelling on your own or arranging travels for others - the Earth is your homeland. Give it the care and respect it deserves; learn about its environment and geography; spend time getting to know its people and their art, culture, history, and livelihoods. While you derive pleasure, knowledge, and understanding from your encounters, hold close the importance of preserving these treasures for those who may follow in your footsteps".

interNATIONAL PARKtours is committed to the principles of responsible travel and, with your help, has demonstrated this commitment for over 30 years.

As times and attitudes change, we want to increase the importance of responsible tourism in IPT's culture. Not only does it make us more accountable, it further supports you as travellers, the local communities you visit and the environment.
