Welcome to Texas Everything really is bigger in Texas – from the skies that stretch endlessly overhead to the spirit, stories and landscapes that unfold mile by mile. This vast southern state is a place of contrasts: wild deserts and emerald Hill Country, buzzing cities and backroad towns, legendary barbecue joints and soulful honky-tonks where live music spills into the night. It’s bold, warm and endlessly welcoming – making it a natural fit for Australian and New Zealand travellers who love wide open spaces, good food and journeys with heart.

Getting here is easier than ever, with regular direct flights to Dallas Fort Worth and Houston from across Australia and New Zealand, plus seamless connections on to Austin and other major cities across the state. Once you arrive, Texas invites you to slow down and explore – preferably from behind the wheel. Road trips are woven into the Texan DNA, and the open road is the best way to experience it all: big-sky drives, neon-lit main streets, cattle country and coastal plains, punctuated by unforgettable meals and local encounters.

Nature lovers will find sweeping national parks and rugged ranchlands, food lovers will discover smoked brisket, Tex-Mex classics and modern culinary trailblazers, while music fans can trace the sounds of blues, country and rock through iconic venues and dance halls. From immersive cultural journeys to flavour-led adventures and legendary highways, Texas rewards those who travel deeper.

That’s where Adventure World comes in. We’ve thoughtfully curated a portfolio of handpicked hotels, ethical ranch stays and locally guided experiences, creating journeys that bring the Lone Star State vividly to life. Our expert team is ready to share their insider knowledge and personal insights to shape a Texan journey that’s uniquely yours.

100 Years of Route 66 In 2026, America’s legendary “Mother Road” turns 100, marking a century of open-road adventure, neon-lit nostalgia and the kind of freedom that has been immortalised in song, film and roadside lore.

This iconic highway once linked small town USA to big cities, becoming symbolic of independence and possibility for generations of travellers. In Texas, its spirit lives on across the 178-mile Panhandle stretch. Here, you can wander Amarillo’s restored Historic Sixth Street District with its vintage storefronts and neon signs, wander past the spray-painted cars at Cadillac Ranch, savour the largerthan-life experience of the Big Texan Steak Ranch, and venture into the dramatic red-rock vistas of Palo Duro Canyon, home to the long-running outdoor musical TEXAS. If you’re going to celebrate a century of the open road, do it where the spirit is still loud, proud and unmistakably Texan.
