A journey on the Indian Pacific is synonymous with slow, meaningful travel. A step back in time to a refined era of train travel.
The fun doesn’t have to stop when your clients disembark the Indian Pacific in Perth / Boorloo, as a number of city stays and regional packages are on offer to journey deeper into some of Western Australia’s hidden gems.
Helping guests take the scenic route between Sydney and Perth for over 50 years, Journey Beyond thrives on providing unforgettable experiences in some of Australia’s most beautiful and remote regions.
On the outskirts of Exmouth, the World Heritage listed Ningaloo Reef / Nyinggulu boasts an incredible array of unique coral and fish species just waiting to be discovered.
Guests on the Perth & Ningaloo Reef Escape package will have this impressive underwater ecosystem right at their doorstep, literally, as they enjoy three nights at the exclusive Sal Salis Ningaloo Reef (below).
There’s no crowds or lengthy boat rides out to the reef here, as 16 Wilderness Tents are delicately raised above the sand dunes just a few hundred metres from some of the best snorkelling spots in the region.
The chance to swim alongside whale sharks and humpback whales is an unforgettable experience that can’t be replicated anywhere else in the country.
Operating an eco-luxury resort within Cape Range National Park that is nearly 100% solar-powered means that guests can enjoy an elevated, all-inclusive experience without disturbing the fragile flora and fauna.
Each Wilderness Tent features organic, locally made amenities including reef friendly sunscreen.
The Lodge is open 24 hours a day and is the perfect place to grab a snack, make yourself a cocktail from premium Western Australian spirits and share stories with fellow travellers as chefs prepare scrumptious meals from local produce.

For a city stay with a twist, the Perth & Rottnest Classic City Stay package gives your clients two-nights’ premium accommodation in Perth’s CBD which provides the perfect base for exploring this sunny capital city.
Then, a short boat ride to Rottnest Island/ Wadjemup offers nature lovers a thrill as they can hike and bike their way around this vehicle-free island while getting acquainted with the world’s most loveable marsupial, the quokka!
As the sun dips and the day trippers go back to the mainland, guests are treated to an overnight luxury stay that captures the quiet magic of this unique place.
These destinations are certainly incredible to discover, but the journey to get here is just as rewarding.
Departing once weekly from Sydney, the Indian Pacific effortlessly takes guests on a four-day journey across the world’s longest strait stretch of railway track in style and comfort.
All four cabin types – Gold, Gold Premium, Platinum and the brand-new Aurora Australis suites – offer the best seats in the house to sit back and witness one spectacular view after another.
Regionally focused meals and expertly paired wines served inside the dining carriages also offer a front row seat to this ever-changing landscape.
There are some remarkable stops along the way, with carefully curated Off Train Experiences highlighting the rugged beauty and fascinating history of the Nullarbor.
In the summer months, guests will enjoy a dinner under the stars at the quiet outpost of Rawlinna and they’ll rug up in the winter months to partake in a star-gazing session complete with generous servings of port and canapes served around a bonfire.
For those wanting more time on train and more Off Train Experiences, the Indian Pacific now offers an extended 5-day, 4-night itinerary from Perth to Sydney that will give guests a behind-the-scenes look at one of Australia’s largest gold mines in Kalgoorlie / Karlkurla and offer a magical evening of stargazing, live music and indulgent treats in the ghost town of Cook.
While the food, accommodation and experiences are on another level, it’s the Journey Beyond staff that truly bring all of these holiday packages together.
Expect your on-train hospitality attendant to remember exactly how you like your coffee from day one and enjoy insider knowledge to make the most of your time in places like the Margaret River Region and Ningaloo Reef.
