Wheelchair Travel

Sydney’s my hometown so you’ll have to excuse me for being biased but I think it’s a fabulous city. I love nothing more than wandering around the harbour, visiting the Botanic Gardens, or having dinner watching the sun set behind the Harbour Bridge. Sydney has great access with wheelchair accessible public transport... #hotel #accommodation #sydney #accessible #accessibletravel #wheelchair #disability #travel #australia

So many cruise ships are gracing our shores it must be hard for prospective travellers to choose between them. While some travellers may book a ship purely based on the cruise itinerary, we know our Have Wheelchair Will Travel community is interested in the accessible facilities available on the ship... #cruise #travel #holidays #accessibletravel #cruiseholidays #travelblog #travelblogger

When we choose a holiday destination we look for an area which not only has accessible accommodation but plenty of activities which will appeal to the whole family. Coffs Harbour delivered a variety of wheelchair accessible activities which kept our family entertained when we visited last year... #coffsharbour #australia #travel #schoolholidays #family #wheelchair #accessible #accessibletravel #disability #specialneeds #familyfun

My best wheelchair travel tips after visiting Chengdu's Giant Pandas in China. Sealed paths lead visitors around the Giant Panda Base but many are steep. A power chair user would find it relatively easy to negotiate the steep paths but it would be quite a push for a manual chair user... #wheelchair #accessible #accessibletravel #pandas #china #asia #travel #accessibility

We are breaking new ground in the publishing industry. This week we published the first Travel Without Limits magazine–the first disability-specific, print, travel magazine. Up to 4.2 million Australians live with a disability–almost 20 per cent of the population and accessible tourism represents $10.8 billion to the Australian economy (surpassing the Chinese inbound market of $10.4 billion)... #Accessible #AccessibleTravel #TravelMagazine #Disability #Accessibility #TravelInspo…

The chance to explore part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, the most extensive strip of diverse rainforest anywhere on earth, with a TrailRider lured us away from the coast. Although we can access many lookouts and some short walks with BJ’s wheelchair, immersive and adventurous walks are few and far between, making this attraction a must do for us. #accessible #travel #adventure #nationalpark #hiking #trailrider #wheelchair #travelblogger

Sea World has a wonderful range of animal exhibits including the polar bears, rays, dolphins, seals and the large aquarium. We find the exhibits provide easy viewing for BJ from his wheelchair. Large floor to ceiling windows, low fences and unique under water viewing platforms mean BJ doesn’t miss out on anything... #seaworld #aquarium #sealife #disability #accessibility #accessibletravel #goldcoast #australia #familyfun #holiday #schoolholidays

Sometimes we have a day out or an experience which fans the flames of my passion for accessible and inclusive tourism more than others. Our helicopter flight to the Franz Josef Glacier was one of those. It was the highlight of our trip to New Zealand and again proved one person’s drive, and the willingness of others to embrace change, can make a difference to many... #glacier #newzealand #travel #NZ #traveldestinations #dreamcometrue #helicopter #familytravel #adventure #accessibletravel

Fantastic news! Today I received an email from Virgin Australia announcing a new initiative which may make travel achievable for people who are unable to fly independently. From today, Virgin Australia is implementing a Disability Assistant Concession fare. The fare offers a 50% discount (applied to the base fare) for an assistant’s airfare... #flights #airtravel #travel #travelblog #travelnews #accessible #accessibility #accessibletravel #disability #wheelchair #traveltips #traveladvice
