About DefoginFur Travel

Passionate about creating authentic Australian experiences since 2008

Our Story

DefoginFur Travel was born from a passion for Australia's diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage. Founded in 2008 by Emma and James Wilson, a couple with deep roots in the Australian tourism industry, our agency started with a simple mission: to create authentic travel experiences that showcase the true essence of Australia.

What began as a small operation in Surfers Paradise has grown into a respected travel agency with a team of experienced guides and travel experts who share our founders' enthusiasm for Australian adventures. Throughout our growth, we've maintained our commitment to personalized service and sustainable tourism practices.

As an Australian-owned and operated business (ABN: 45 678 901 234), we take pride in our local knowledge and connections. We've spent years building relationships with Indigenous communities, local businesses, and conservation organizations to ensure our tours are not only memorable but also respectful of Australia's culture and environment.
