The 2025–2026 ClubMates Travel brochure has just been released, showcasing an incredible line-up of supported adventures for the year ahead. Alongside much-loved favourites, we’ve introduced three brand-new international escapes and two standout Australian trips that are unlike anything we’ve offered before. These journeys are designed for travellers who want more than a holiday—they’re about exploring new cultures, unique landscapes, and creating unforgettable memories.
International Highlights for 2026
China – Shanghai
Shanghai is a city of contrasts, where futuristic skylines rise above peaceful gardens and historic temples. Visitors can stroll along the Bund, take in panoramic views from the Oriental Pearl Tower, or lose themselves in the traditional charm of Yu Garden. Food lovers will enjoy Shanghai’s street markets and regional delicacies, while culture seekers can explore world-class museums and ancient water towns nearby. It’s a destination that suits anyone who loves a balance of modern energy and rich tradition.
Korea
South Korea offers a mix of vibrant urban life and tranquil countryside. In Seoul, travellers can explore grand palaces, bustling night markets, and trendy shopping districts. For those who enjoy history, the DMZ and centuries-old Buddhist temples provide powerful experiences. Beyond the cities, Korea’s mountain trails, cherry blossoms in spring, and coastal beauty make it perfect for nature lovers. This destination is ideal for those who want to immerse themselves in a culture that blends the old and new.
New Zealand – Hobbiton™
New Zealand is famous for its breathtaking landscapes, but Hobbiton™ offers something magical for fans of film and fantasy. Travellers can walk through the iconic movie set, complete with hobbit holes, gardens, and the Green Dragon Inn. Beyond Hobbiton™, New Zealand’s rolling hills, geothermal wonders, and Maori cultural experiences make it a country rich in diversity. This trip is perfect for anyone who loves movies, storytelling, and natural beauty all in one journey.
Australian Gems for 2026
Broken Hill & Silverton
This outback adventure takes travellers deep into Australia’s artistic heart. Broken Hill is home to world-class art galleries and heritage architecture, while nearby Silverton is known for its quirky character and film history—famous as the backdrop for Mad Max. The surrounding desert landscapes provide a dramatic setting for sunsets and photography. This tour suits those who are drawn to Australia’s history, creative culture, and the unique beauty of the outback, , and can also be enjoyed through autism friendly travel options that make the journey inclusive for everyone.
Daintree Rainforest & Great Barrier Reef
Few trips can match the diversity of experiencing two World Heritage sites in one journey. The Daintree Rainforest offers ancient walking tracks, rare wildlife, and lush greenery, while the Great Barrier Reef is a wonder for snorkelling and coral viewing. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the chance to see cassowaries, crocodiles, and marine life up close. This tour is a great choice for anyone passionate about the environment and eager to experience some of Australia’s most iconic natural wonders.

China is one of those countries that keeps surprising people—especially when you see the landscapes that don’t even look real. Towering rainbow mountains, glass walkways over steep cliffs, mist-covered peaks that inspired movies like Avatar—China’s natural wonders feel like stepping into another world.
And guess what? With the right support and planning, these mind-blowing places can be explored by people of all abilities. At ClubMates Travel, we believe that accessible travel should be more than just getting from A to B—it should be about awe, wonder, and saying “I can’t believe I’m actually here.”
Here are a few incredible spots in China that look out of this world—and why they might just end up on your travel wishlist.
Zhangjiajie National Forest Park – The Real-Life Pandora
Ever seen floating mountains? Well, you’re about to. Zhangjiajie is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the inspiration behind the flying mountains in Avatar. Giant stone pillars rise up through misty clouds—it’s so surreal it feels like CGI.
There are cable cars and glass elevators that take you up into the peaks, and accessible walkways in many areas, making this a great option for travel for people with disabilities when paired with the right support crew.
The Rainbow Mountains – Zhangye Danxia Geopark
Imagine layers of red, orange, gold, and green rock stretched across rolling hills. These colourful formations look like someone took a paintbrush to the land. They’re even more breathtaking in person.
The Rainbow Mountains are best explored in daylight hours when the colours shine brightest. Some viewing platforms and paths are paved and can be navigated with mobility assistance. Like all our accessible holidays, having specialist travel support makes a huge difference in comfort and safety.
Yuanyang Rice Terraces – A Living Mirror
At sunrise or sunset, the rice terraces of Yuanyang reflect the sky like an enormous mirror. It’s peaceful, dreamlike, and incredibly calming—perfect for travellers who want to slow down, connect with nature, and just take it all in.
This spot is especially powerful for people who are working toward NDIS goals like mindfulness, emotional regulation, or confidence in new environments. With supported travel, it’s more than sightseeing—it becomes a sensory and emotional experience.
The Glass Bridge – Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon
If you’re feeling brave, there’s a 430-metre-long glass bridge suspended over the canyon. Yes—it’s see-through. But it’s also safe, sturdy, and absolutely unforgettable. For those not afraid of heights, this is an epic moment that will stick with you for life.
We understand that thrill-seeking looks different for everyone. At ClubMates, our support crew are trained to encourage, not push—so passengers can take part in activities at their own comfort level.
Jiuzhaigou Valley – China’s Fairytale Water World
Think turquoise lakes, sparkling waterfalls, and snow-capped peaks. Jiuzhaigou is a dreamscape—peaceful, scenic, and full of charm. It’s also one of the more accessible nature parks in China, with eco buses and walkways that help make the journey smoother.
This kind of environment is great for building confidence, promoting social participation, and feeling part of something beautiful.
Why China? Why ClubMates?
Travelling to a country as big and bold as China might feel impossible—but that’s where we come in. As one of Australia’s most experienced NDIS holiday providers, we specialise in international supported travel that opens up the world for people with disabilities. We design every itinerary to work toward common NDIS goals—things like independence, community access, resilience, and joy.
Our team handles everything: accessible hotels, ground transport, daily activities, and of course, personal support workers who are trained specifically for disability travel.
If you’ve ever dreamt of seeing the Great Wall, watching lanterns float across the sky, or standing in a place that feels like another planet—then maybe it’s time to get curious.
ClubMates makes accessible travel across the globe achievable, enjoyable, and unforgettable.
Talk to our team about our upcoming tours to China or ask about designing your own supported adventure. We’ll help you figure out how your supports work with your NDIS funding and what out-of-pocket costs you can expect.
Because no one should miss out on the wonders of the world—especially you.
