JOURNEY Beyond has announced two key acquisitions, adding the Sal Salis luxury safari camp at WA’s Ningaloo Reef and Darwin Harbour Cruises to its portfolio of “experiential Australian tourism brands”.
The additions complement existing Journey Beyond offerings including Great Southern Rail’s The Ghan, Indian Pacific, The Overland and the new Great Southern journeys, as well as Cruise Whitsundays and Perth’s Rottnest Express.
Sal Salis was placed on the market last year (TD 13 Aug 2018), with the beachside property featuring 15 “eco-luxe tents” with views of the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef.
A range of guest activities are on offer including sea kayaking, snorkelling, birdwatching, guided gorge walks and “up-close experiences with the region’s most famous residents – the whale sharks and migrating humpback whales”.
Darwin Harbour Cruises was founded in 1996 and operates daily sunset cruises between Feb and Dec aboard two vessels, with optional dining experiences and events capabilities.
The acquisitions of both operations are effective immediately, while bookings can continue to be made through existing phone and online channels, Journey Beyond said.
“Sal Salis and Darwin Harbour Cruises will bring further depth and diversity to our current portfolio, further positioning Journey Beyond as a leader in Australian marine, wildlife and outback experiences,” according to a trade release yesterday.
