NOOSA’S INDEPENDENT AGENCY
Arcadia Travel has a key point of difference to a regular travel agency – we have 3 decades experience as tour, adventure and accommodation operators.
As travel possibilities increase, we’re ready to assist.
The quarantine-free Australia and New Zealand travel bubble is commenced 19 April. Note risks of quarantine or a cancellation of travel may occur at short notice in the case of a Covid outbreak.
For the latest advice on international travel from the Australian Government, see the Smart Traveller website.
We have extensively travelled throughout all Australian states and to almost every corner of New Zealand.
Our own ventures are:
- Bandicoot Tours offers small-group charters for up to 21 passengers in luxury mini-coaches.
- The Wayward Bus we’re bringing back with a series of ‘slow’ tours looping around SE Australia. Our trial runs are scheduled for July 2021. Ralph founded the original Wayward Bus in 1990, achieving the Australian Tourism Award in 1997 (Tour & Transport Major)
- Arcadia Travel is again running rail-trail treks on the BVRT (Brisbane Valley Rail Trail) in Jun-Jul 2021
- Outbike conducts a range of epic bike rides in 2021-22 including the iconic 30 day Gulf-to-Gulf Transcontinental Ride
- My Europe Base – holiday apartments on the Mosel River in Germany’s Rhineland, a very idyllic location
- With most international travel ‘off the table’, we’ve transformed half our Noosa shop into a pop-up artists gallery – and added bike hire to our services.

Arcadia Travel is AFTA-accredited (Australian Federation of Travel Agents) and linked to the Express Travel Network. These affiliations enable Arcadia to offer all the tours, adventures, packages and other services you’d expect of a travel agency.
For now Arcadia Travel is still located in Arcadia Walk, Noosa Junction on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast and open Mon-Fri. However, with the ongoing restrictions to international travel, we have decided to quit the shop (when a new tenant is found) and switch to become a mobile home-based agent.
The Noosa region is on the ancestral lands of the First Nations Kubbi Kubbbi People to whom we extend our respect and acknowledgment.
‘NO FEES’ – Arcadia Travel Noosa promises:
- NO service fees for quotes and travel planning
- NO added-on agency fees in the case of cancellations or rescheduling by suppliers
- NO added-on agency fees if cancelled by clients due to unforeseen issues or restrictions
