Getting Off the Beaten Track with Coach Touring

26 Feb 2025

There’s something special about discovering places beyond the usual tourist trails - hidden gems, quiet towns brimming with stories, and breathtaking landscapes only locals seem to know. That’s what makes coach touring such an incredible way to travel. It’s about slowing down, soaking in the scenery, and enjoying the journey without the hassle of driving or planning every detail yourself.

At On Course Tours, we’re more than just a travel company - we’re a family-owned business that has been crafting unforgettable tours for over 35 years. We create, arrange, host, and drive our tours, ensuring every detail is carefully considered so our guests feel like part of our extended travel family.

We take pride in supporting small, family-run businesses in the places we visit - whether it’s a local bakery providing fresh morning tea, a boutique hotel offering warm hospitality, or a passionate guide sharing stories of their town. These relationships add an extra layer of authenticity, making each journey more than just a holiday, it’s an experience.

One of our most exciting upcoming adventures is “Lap of The Map”, a series of 10 interconnecting tours forming the ultimate lap around Australia. This journey ventures beyond the ordinary, weaving together breathtaking coastal stretches, ancient landscapes, and vibrant outback towns. Along the way, we introduce travellers to locals who bring each region to life—whether it’s a seafood supplier in Tasmania, a winemaker in Margaret River, or a tour operator in Kakadu.

For those looking for something closer to home, we also offer shorter tours, from overnight winter Yulefests in the Hunter Valley and Southern Highlands to annual events like Floriade and the Young Cherry Festival. Our itineraries are designed with comfort in mind, featuring well-paced travel days, quality accommodation, and great company.

Coach touring allows you to relax, enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded travellers, and explore with confidence, knowing that everything has been carefully arranged for you. As one of our travelers recently shared:

“I just want you to know how much I enjoyed my trip to Yamba with you—your careful driving, thoughtful commentary, and wonderful hospitality made all the difference.” — Isabel, Sydney”
