Pickleball Tours
Welcome to a Travel Pickleball Tour like no other
A new and exciting offering to Pickleball lovers everywhere is our latest tour to JAPAN in December 2024. The opportunity to discover Japan and play in their very first international Pickleball Japan Cup excites us.
Beyond the Pickledome Tours has created a customised travel experience incorporating some of the best and iconic sights from Tokyo to Hiroshima. We have an exclusive invite to play Pickleball with the “Tokyo Picklers” in Tokyo before we take on the international challenge of Pickleball at the Japan Cup. Whether you are an experienced Pickleballer or new to the game there will be a level of play to suit your needs. You may be travelling alone, with friends or with partners, but you will join a community that shares a passion for pickleball, travel and most importantly fun. The end of your first Pickleball tour is just the beginning. It is the memories you take and the friendships you make that will ensure your experience lives on with you far beyond the end of your tour. It will be a holiday that you remember forever.
Our aim at Beyond the Pickledome Tours, an Australian Company, is to help Pickleball enthusiasts of all skill levels explore the best Pickleball destinations throughout Australia and around the world.

Travel Journal
Blue hour is when the sky has a deep blue hue with a cold temperature and saturated colours. It is also an ideal time for landscape photography because of the different shades of the sky and the colour saturation.
Golden Hour is when the sky goes from yellow to orange to red – those golden tones having a warm colour temperature, the lighting is soft, diffused with little contrast because the sun is low in the sky. This period of time does not produce strong shadows or harsh lighting and is an ideal time for landscape photography. At times you will get amazing sun beams 15 to 20 minutes before the sun sets.
