About This Tour


Explore the must-see cities and sights of Australia. In Cairns, enjoy a spectacular half-day trip to the Great Barrier Reef. After that there is ample time to explore on your own. Ride the Skyrail Cableway through the rainforest to Kuranda, a quiet mountain village, and learn about Aboriginal culture and folklore at Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park. On to the Outback, where the stunning landscape is sure to inspire you. Enjoy guided sightseeing in Ayers Rock and Alice Springs, then explore the Outback on your own. View the vast “Red Centre” from a helicopter—and for a unique desert experience, ride a camel! Then, fly to beautiful Sydney, the largest city in Australia. After the guided sightseeing tour you will have plenty of time to pursue independent activities. Take the exhilarating climb to the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge, take a cruise on Sydney Harbour, and explore “The Rocks,” where modern Sydney blends with history from the convict days. Next, on to cosmopolitan Melbourne. After the guided sightseeing tour there is plenty of time for independent exploration. Watch the Penguin Parade on Phillip Island or indulge in innovative cuisine at a local restaurant.
