If you’ve got a taste for the finer things in life, then do we have a tip for you. Foodies, gourmands and indulgence seekers can now live the high life and experience Australia like never before: aboard a private jet.

Curator of luxury travel experiences, Captain’s Choice, has today released a new collection of unique private jet journeys to inspire Australians to explore at home, now that international travel is off the table for the foreseeable future.

Many of the remote regions, routes and itineraries on offer are experiences that are only possible on board a private aircraft. The booking groups are small, with guests accompanied at every stage by a tour manager and tour doctor, who ensure maximum convenience and flexibility, while also monitoring health and safety.

Some of the journeys on offer include the seven-day Whale Sharks and Wines of the West by Private Jet, which allows guests to experience four beautiful Australian regions in a single week, journeying from Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park to the pristine beaches of the Ningaloo Coast, then onwards to the epicurean delights of Margaret River and Port Lincoln.

For those who prefer to experience a more cuisine-led journey, Southern Islands by Private Jet unearths the artisanal produce and wine of our southern islands, visiting Flinders Island, Bruny Island, King Island and Kangaroo Island, among others.

“Captain’s Choice was one of the first in the world to introduce Private Jet journeys, and at a time when travel is local, is opening up new destinations, new experiences and new ways to explore our own magnificent country,” said Captain’s Choice CEO Bas Bosschieter.

Alongside the domestic journeys, Captain’s Choice is also introducing a range of Interludes, which allow time-pressed adventure lovers to experience a range of once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences distilled into five days or less.

The range of short journeys is designed to distill the essence of each experience into a thrilling adventure over a few short days. For example: Opera at Uluru by Private Jet gives guests the chance to witness a breathtaking operatic performance set in the fabled field of lights, with Uluru as the backdrop.  

For those of us whose lavish European foodie vacays got nixed this year, it’s likely to prove a very welcome distraction. Pfft. Paris who?
