Immersive Culture
From cooking classes in Thailand to tours through Europe's hidden lanes, travellers want to live like locals and connect meaningfully with the places they visit.
Small Group & Hosted Travel
Our own Hosted Journeys brand is growing in popularity, with more people drawn to curated, boutique group experiences where everything is taken care of. It's travel with a personal touch.
Sustainable Choices
Conscious travellers are increasingly looking for eco-friendly experiences, supporting local communities, and choosing slower, more thoughtful ways of exploring the world.
Close-to-Home Discoveries
While international demand is soaring, there's still strong interest in the natural wonders right on our doorstep, from Uluru and the Great Barrier Reef to the Kimberley's spectacular natural beauty.
"Travel is ultimately about stories the ones you tell around the dinner table, the photos that become lifelong treasures, the "remember when..." moments that define your adventures," (Johanna Wood, 2025). At Helloworld Travel Mackay & Mt Pleasant, our mission is simple: to help you create those stories with ease, expertise, and care.
