  3. 3

    Horses, Dinosaurs and Cowboys

    Start the day with a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience at the Wind River Wild Horse Sanctuary. Ride into the pastures with a Local Specialist and meet free-roaming mustangs on a working cattle ranch that protects over 250 unadoptable horses. Continue on to Riverton for a scattered lunch before travelling to the Wyoming Dinosaur Center to see fossils and a working dig lab. Arrive in Cody and check in to your hotel, then you’ll meet a local artisan for a private tour of the By Western Hands studio. End the day at the historic Irma Hotel where your host welcomes you for a Be My Guest dinner in true Western style.

    Spend the morning in Cody. You may choose to join an Optional Experience to the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, a Smithsonian-affiliated complex of five museums focused on the culture and history of the American West.

You’ll visit Lake Yellowstone, stop at Artist Point and see the powerful Upper Falls of the Yellowstone River.

Travel at 60 Social Getaways

Travel further when you're not travelling alone

Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.

Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.

  • A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
  • Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
  • Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.

Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
