World Expeditions has been operating adventures across the globe for 45 years and, during that time, we have experienced and overcome many natural and man-made adversities. We have well developed and tested risk strategies for these very occurrences, utilising information from reliable sources and local knowledge on the ground.

At the end of the day, each individual trip is different and each person has their own view of what an acceptable level of safety means for them. Read more about the different travel advisory levels in Australia and what they mean.

Pro-tip: only trust information from credible sources and be wary of the information circulated and even intensified across social media channels.

We encourage you to get in touch if you want to learn more about how safe it is to travel to a destination you are considering.
