This tour features Australia’s most diverse landscapes and experiences, including cosmopolitan Sydney, the world's oldest living rainforest, a luxurious yet rugged cattle station in the remote Outback, and an exclusive island resort in the Great Barrier Reef.
Begin in Sydney. During comprehensive private city touring, enjoy food and craft markets,
galleries, museums, unique shops, and fine restaurants in Sydney’s vibrant neighborhoods such as Surry Hills, Woolloomooloo and Paddington. Walk through the beautiful Sydney Botanic Gardens, explore the historic Rocks district, stroll along Bondi Beach, and drive past exclusive homes and yacht clubs in Double Bay and Vaucluse. Also enjoy a performance at the iconic Sydney Opera House.
Continue to Ayers Rock (Uluru), surrounded by vast blue sky and red earth in Australia’s beautiful Red Centre. With your expert private guide, enjoy comprehensive touring in the region. Learn about Aboriginal bushtucker cuisine and legends of the Dreamtime. Tour the base of Ayers Rock and view Aboriginal rock art in caves and waterholes (billabongs). Walk through the Olgas (Kata Tjuta) and nearby sand dunes. Take desert walks and learn about the unique flora and fauna in the Outback. One night, dine under the stars while an astronomer points out the southern constellations in the clear desert night sky and a didjeridoo musician drones in the background.
Next, fly to Tropical North Queensland for a stay at the decadent Silky Oaks Lodge. While there, enjoy a private tour with a naturalist of the Daintree Rainforest—the world’s oldest living rainforest and a protected World Heritage site.
Continue on a private drive through various dramatic landscapes to the Outback where you will stay at Wrotham Park Lodge, a classic cattle station in Australia’s rural outback and a truly unique resort experience. Enjoy vast landscapes while partaking in exclusive touring experiences such as nature walks, fishing, picnics, stargazing, mountain biking, interpretive cattle mustering and yard work viewing.
The tour concludes with several nights at Lizard Island, the only luxury resort located in the middle of the Great Barrier Reef. Enjoy the luxurious surroundings and ample time for snorkeling or scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef. Or simply enjoy scenic walks on the island and relaxing spa treatments.
