Australia tours

If you’re considering an Australia tour, why not go the whole hog and visit New Zealand and Fiji too? We have a fantastic three-week tour, which takes in all the major highlights of this incredible trio.

Starting in Sydney, you can head to iconic spots like Sydney Harbour and Bondi Beach. Plus, you’ll be able to take your pick from a few excursions, including a day trip to the Blue Mountains and a wine-tasting session in the Hunter Valley. Then, you’ll journey north to Cairns, where you can discover the Great Barrier Reef, the Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation.

Your tour continues on New Zealand’s North Island. Beginning in Auckland, you’ll travel to the Bay of Islands and Hobbiton. Next, you’ll be able to discover the natural wonders surrounding Queenstown. Using this scenic lakeside town as your base, you’ll be able to explore Milford Sound and the Southern Alps. Your adventure wraps up in tropical Fiji, where you can unwind on some of the best beaches in the world.

Australia is home to some truly wonderful cities and beaches, so there’s no shame in sticking to the coast. Not every Australia tour goes into the Outback, and there’s something to be said for exploring a smaller area in depth – particularly if you’re considering a two-week tour.

In New South Wales, for instance, you can have a variety of experiences without even needing to leave the state. You can spend a few days taking in Sydney’s landmarks and beaches, and then go to the Blue Mountains for some hiking and spa treatments. And round off your tour in Hunter Valley’s vineyards.

Or perhaps you simply want to go beach-hopping? Book a tour of Australia’s east coast and you’ll be able to discover Sydney, the Gold Coast, Fraser Island and the Whitsundays – all in one amazing, sandy-toed trip.

And don’t forget Western Australia. This massive state knows a thing or two about slick cities and picture-perfect beaches. Soak up some sun in Perth, meet adorable quokkas on Rottnest Island, and swim with wild whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef.

If an Australia escorted tour isn’t what you had in mind, consider a road trip. Our self-drive Australia tours allow you to follow a planned-out route at your own pace – so you can stop as many times as you like.

One of the best drives in Australia – and indeed the world – is the Great Ocean Road. Down in Victoria, this rugged route meanders along the coast for 150 miles. It starts in Torquay, just a short drive from Melbourne, and passes some amazing natural landmarks. You can dip your toes in the sea at Loch Ard Gorge, peak through The Grotto, and marvel at the world-famous Twelve Apostles. You’ll also be able to stop at Great Otway National Park, before reaching Adelaide in South Australia.

Alternatively, go on a self-drive tour through Queensland. In northeast Australia, this tropical state is home to Brisbane, Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef. And you can tick them all off, as you explore in your car or campervan. Be amazed by the Reef and the ancient Daintree Rainforest, and then unwind on Mission Beach and Airlie Beach, near the beautiful Whitsunday Islands. Driving down the Sunshine Coast, you’ll also visit Noosa and Brisane – all at your own pace.

Two of Australia’s most-loved attractions, Ayers Rock and the Great Barrier Reef, are on so many travellers’ bucket lists. And it’s not hard to see why. Watching the sunrise paint Uluru pink and orange, and swimming with tropical fish among the world’s biggest reef are certainly unforgettable experiences. These two magical places are, rather inconveniently, over 1,100 miles apart – but you can easily visit both on your Australia tour.

We offer a selection of tours that take in these two incredible landmarks. You can start your adventure in sunny Perth, and spend some time in Elizabeth Quay, Kings Park and historic Fremantle. Or begin your tour in Sydney, and tick off the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and pub-filled neighbourhood, The Rocks. Either way, you’ll then travel to the rust-coloured Northern Territory and Ayers Rock, before rounding off your trip with a dip in the Great Barrier Reef.
