✈️ UK – Sydney (3 nights): Your multi-centre antipodean adventure begins in the dazzling city of Sydney, where we’ll meet you at the airport after your flight from the UK and transfer you to your hotel for a 3-night stay. The city has so much to offer, from the iconic Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge (climb it for the ultimate experience!) to fabulous eateries, buzzing nightlife and a famously sunny climate. Relax along Circular Quay, take a ferry to Manly, or stroll through the historic Rocks District with its weekend markets and cobbled lanes.

✈️ Sydney – Brisbane (1 night): On your final day in Sydney, we’ll transfer you back to the airport for your flight to the lively city of Brisbane, where we’ll meet you and take you to your hotel for 1 night. Brisbane has plenty to offer visitors, and a must-visit is the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, where you can get up close to native wildlife and even cuddle a fluffy koala. Other highlights include Brisbane City Hall with panoramic views from its clock tower, and Customs House with its distinctive copper dome. The South Bank Parklands are also well worth a visit, with their swimming lagoon, man-made beaches and riverside promenade, often buzzing with markets and live entertainers.

🚗 Brisbane – Beach (3 nights): For the next leg of your journey, you can choose between being transferred south to the Gold Coast or north to Fraser Island. The Gold Coast is famous for its long stretches of white sandy beach, none more iconic than Surfers Paradise which is a 3-kilometre sweep of golden sand with rolling blue surf, perfect for both beginners and seasoned surfers. There are plenty of surf schools, while in the evenings the beachfront markets come alive with food stalls and live entertainment. The region also offers theme parks like SeaWorld, Wet’n’Wild and Australia Zoo for a day of fun and adventure.

Alternatively, Fraser Island, the world’s largest sand island offers a more tranquil experience, with over 100 freshwater lakes, towering dunes and pristine beaches. The island is home to native dingoes and rich wildlife, and we can arrange guided tours taking in highlights such as Lake McKenzie, the Maheno shipwreck and Indian Head, where sweeping ocean views await.

✈️ Beach – Whitsunday Islands (4 nights): After your beach stay, you’ll return to the airport for your flight to the Whitsunday Islands, a collection of 74 tropical islands scattered off the coast of Queensland. This is a little slice of paradise, where you can relax on pristine white beaches fringed by palm trees, swim in turquoise waters and enjoy world-class diving and snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef’s edge. Whether you choose to unwind in luxury at your resort, take a sailing excursion around the islands or visit the powder-white sands of Whitehaven Beach, the Whitsundays promise four nights of bliss.

✈️ Whitsunday Islands – Cairns (3 nights): Your final stop is Cairns, the gateway to the incredible natural wonder that is the Great Barrier Reef. You’ll take a short flight north to Cairns, where you’ll spend 3 nights exploring this vibrant tropical city and its spectacular surroundings. Dive or snorkel among colourful coral gardens, turtles and tropical fish, or take a catamaran cruise out to the reef. Back on land, enjoy Cairns’ lively esplanade with its cafés, restaurants and markets, or venture inland to the lush Daintree Rainforest for a day of adventure and wildlife.

✈️ Cairns – UK: On your final day, we’ll collect you from your hotel and transfer you to the airport for your flight home to the UK, bringing your unforgettable Australian journey to a close.
