We are happy to announce the launch of Stray Australia, the newest addition to the Stray adventure travel network. While Stray Australia's name may be new, our operations in Australia are not! Longtime partner Loka has joined forces with Stray and has rebranded to Stray Australia. With the introduction of Stray Australia to the network, Stray will represent the largest flexible adventure travel network in Asia Pacific, with operations across New Zealand, Australia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Plans to launch Stray Australia have been in the making for a while now, here's a little peek into our history and how we got here... In 2014, Loka opened its doors in Australia, offering the best hop-on, hop-off adventure tours up and down the East Coast between Sydney and Cairns. Over the next few years, we went on to cultivate a thriving and passionate travel collective that was stoked on building authentic, local experiences with the flexibility to plan your trip according to you. Fast forward 3 years, in August 2017, Stray recognised an opportunity to expand into the Australian market and invested in Loka. With open arms, we embraced the new partnership which created opportunities to scale up our operations by leveraging Stray's resources and established relationships. While we may have a new name, we will still offer the same legendary products and service. It is still our mission to deliver the best off-the-beaten-track experiences to the world and our goal still remains to focus on local, sustainable operations so that we can give back to the community and show our customers the real Australia. We are excited to see what this new chapter will bring for us as a company and you as our customers and we're stoked to have you all along for the ride.
