Easter Escapes

Want to try something different? Head to Taronga Zoo for your Roar and Snore experience. Check-in at 6pm and walk through the zoo’s grounds to your accommodation for the night. Enjoy harbourfront canapes and drinks before dinner, followed by an exciting night excursion through the zoo! Go behind the scenes with experienced zookeepers and guides as you learn about the fascinating animals that live here.

A short two-hour flight from Sydney is the Pacific paradise of Lord Howe Island. Home to a small population of 350 and with no mobile coverage, you can be sure of a true eco-retreat! Mountains and cliffs give way to sub-tropical rainforests, beaches, and clear lagoons. Explore the coral reef, home to over 500 fish species, or take a walk up to Kim's Lookout for dreamy island views.

The beauty of New South Wales is that it’s vast enough to keep you busy for days or weeks, and it’s no exaggeration to say that every type of traveller will find something here to excite them.

Enjoy warm weather as you visit some of Dubai’s iconic landmarks, from dining in the Burj Al Arab to standing at the top of the Burj Khalifa. Or how about visiting Abu Dhabi? Home to an array of luxury resorts, grand mosques, and huge malls. Both Dubai and Abu Dhabi offer a blend of beach relaxation and city exploration in one trip. What's not to love?

How about beautiful Bali? With unforgettable culture, exquisite beaches, and delicious cuisine, a holiday here has much to offer. If you’re looking for a hot Easter holiday with temperatures hovering around 32°C, this is the perfect destination - light and cool clothing is essential. Spend your days visiting tranquil temples, dining in seafront bars, relaxing on the beach, or unwinding with a well-deserved massage - Bali has it all.

The annual flowering of cherry blossom (Sakura) trees should be on everyone’s wish list. They blossom in early February on the southern island of Okinawa before moving gradually northward and finally flowering in Hokkaido near the end of May.

The confetti-like displays are made even more exciting by their delicate nature, lasting anywhere from two weeks to two days; just a brief shower can ruin the petals! Japanese families celebrate with ‘hanami’ (‘hana’ meaning flower and ‘mi’ meaning view) parties and picnics under the blossoming trees.

As cherry blossom season is the most popular time of year for Japan visitors, you’ll need to book early to avoid disappointment. What are you waiting for? Give our Travel Specialists a call to start planning your 2025 adventure.
