This tour showcases the great variety of Australia’s destinations, including sophisticated Sydney, the wide open spaces and majesty of the outback, and the grand magnificence of the Great Barrier Reef.
Begin in Sydney, Australia's most beautiful city. Tour the beautiful Sydney Botanic Gardens, explore the historic Rocks district, stroll along Bondi Beach, take an exclusive private tour of the iconic Sydney Opera House and enjoy a private harbor sail. Additional activities can be arranged upon request, such as visiting craft markets, touring noted Aboriginal art galleries and the city’s excellent museums, participating in the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb, private surfing lessons, behind-the-scenes wildlife experiences, and food and wine tours.
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.
Continue to Port Douglas in Tropical North Queensland. One day enjoy a cruise to the Great Barrier Reef (with the option for snorkeling or scuba diving). Another day, enjoy a private tour of the Daintree Rainforest, the world’s oldest living rainforest and a protected World Heritage site, or take a ride on the Kuranda Skyrail.
