Skills mentioned
Journey Beyond's story began to formally take shape in 2017, though its roots in Australian tourism run much deeper, with key rail operations dating back to 1997 when Great Southern Rail became the first transcontinental passenger rail business to be privatised in Australia. What started as a collection of iconic Australian travel experiences has evolved into a national leader in experiential tourism. The company was established with the vision of connecting guests to the land and to each other, transforming amazing Australian landscapes and adventures into truly breathtaking moments. The initial unification brought together renowned rail expeditions like The Ghan and Indian Pacific with maritime adventures such as Cruise Whitsundays and Rottnest Express. This marked the beginning of a significant expansion, as Journey Beyond strategically grew its national footprint. Over the years, the company has meticulously curated a diverse portfolio, adding more unique offerings that showcase the breadth and depth of Australia's natural beauty and cultural heritage. This journey of growth has seen the inclusion of outback touring, eco-luxury lodges, and prominent attractions, solidifying its position as one of the largest and most comprehensive experiential tourism businesses in the country. Despite changes in ownership, including acquisition by the Hornblower Group and later coming under the sole ownership of Crestview Partners, Journey Beyond has maintained its commitment to providing high-quality, immersive travel experiences. Today, with a dedicated team spread across Australia and headquartered in Adelaide, Journey Beyond continues to invite guests to embrace the spirit of expedition and discover the heart of Australia.
