✈️ UK – Sydney (4 nights): Your antipodean adventure will begin in the dazzling city of Sydney, where you’ll be greeted with an abundance of culture, iconic landmarks, and sunshine. Sydney’s main attraction is the UNESCO-listed Sydney Opera House. Join a guided tour for a backstage glimpse or enjoy stunning views of this architectural masterpiece from the Manly Ferry. For a thrilling experience, scale the Sydney Harbour Bridge on the ‘BridgeClimb’ or opt for the more sedate route on the pedestrian walkway to take in the view. Head to The Rocks for a slice of Sydney’s history with cobblestone lanes, pubs and markets or for more relaxed experience, visit the lush Royal Botanic Gardens. Taronga Zoo is a great place to meet some of Australia’s endemic wildlife and don’t miss a trip to Bondi Beach to soak up the sun and maybe try your hand at surfing!
✈️ Sydney – Brisbane & Coast (7 nights): Next, we’ll fly you to Brisbane, a city with a laid-back vibe and a strong focus on outdoor activities. For a great way to see the city, take a cruise along the Brisbane River where you’ll glide past some of the city’s main attractions include the South Bank Parklands and the Queensland Art Gallery. For wildlife lovers, the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is a must featuring uber cute koalas and other native species.
After two nights in the city, we’ll take you to a beach resort of your choice on the nearby coastline. Popular options include Noosa, known for its luxury hotels, upscale dining, boutique shopping, and the nearby Noosa Everglades in Noosa National Park. Another popular beach resort is the relaxed Byron Bay with its surf culture, bohemian community, and iconic Cape Byron Lighthouse. We can also arrange a hire car for you to explore the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, or both. If you’re considering visiting both, we highly recommend extending your stay to fully experience what each destination has to offer.
If you’d like to squeeze in an extra stop and visit the Whitsunday Islands but are short on time, we can reduce your stay in Brisbane and the Coast to 5 nights instead of 7. This will give you 2 nights to fully enjoy the beauty of the Whitsundays.
✈️ Brisbane – Whitsundays (optional extension) (2 nights): The Whitsunday Islands are an optional extension to your trip, allowing you to soak up this tropical paradise known for its beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters. Between June and September you may spot migrating whales, so don’t forget your binoculars!
✈️ Brisbane – Cairns/Great Barrier Reef (3 nights): Cairns is traditionally known as the gateway to the incredible Great Barrier Reef. Choose from various day or overnight boat trips to dive or snorkel among the vibrant corals teeming with marine life, including tropical fish, dolphins, and sea turtles. The city of Cairns itself also has plenty to offer. Wander along the bustling Esplanade, swim in the lagoon, enjoy the waterfront, and dine at local restaurants. Head to the nearby Daintree Rainforest, a UNESCO World Heritage site, for some wildlife spotting, or explore the Atherton Tablelands, with waterfalls and volcanic crater lakes. Thrill-seekers can also enjoy various extreme sports such as bungee jumping, skydiving, and river rafting.
✈️ Cairns – UK: After your unforgettable journey through Australia, you’ll return home, reflecting on the epic landscapes, unique wildlife, and rich cultural experiences you’ve experienced.

We travelled with eShores to Andalucia last year, and Emily did an amazing job of compiling an itinerary with good but affordable hotels - we would heartily recommend each one that she chose for us, and all the arrangements between cities worked beautifully. This year we have gone back to her for another holiday and…
This is my second holiday with eshore. The service I received was excellent. Kelly was very professional, understood all my requirements and booked a fantastic holiday for us. It was a very pleasant experience dealing with Kelly and definitely recommend friends to book holidays with her. A real 5 star service.
As always, our go-to girl came through with a fab itinerary for our very last minute booking to USA. Kadie arranged another 3 city break and made sure everything fitted in with our requirements. Always use eShores for our bespoke long distance travels and they never fail to provide excellent service.
eShores is a fantastic company for crafting tailor made itineraries. I have just booked my fourth trip with them, this time to Colombia. Gavin was exceptionally helpful and nothing was too much trouble in meeting my wishes even though it requred a lot of back and forth adjustments. If this is anything like my previous…
Matt Got us everything we wanted for our USA trip
I have yet to take the holiday so I can't comment on the hotels and transport provided etc but Nick was very helpful with the booking. Despite me asking numerous questions he sorted out exactly what I asked for within my budget. Thank you
So far our experience with eShores has been great. Of course the real test will be when we are on holiday so hopefully this will continue :)
Nick did exactly what I asked for, was prompt and helpful. Couldn't have asked for anything more.
We had been recommended eshores by a friend who had holidayed in Croatia. We phoned and then used email to communicate with Chris Eaves who made the whole process very easy. He adjusted the holiday to exactly how we wanted it and was very speedy in his replies. We are hoping the holiday goes as…
The trip has been planned with our requirements fulfilled and also given options to change where we wanted. Looking forward to the trip and hope that all goes as smoothly as the booking side
So this is my second time using eshores and I won’t be going anywhere else to book my future holidays. I gave Claire a horrible job in finding what I needed and kept changing the brief but she persevered and found me the best holiday. I’m going in September and can’t wait. I’ll be back…
Excellent prompt service from Michelle. Hotels she suggested all look amazing and the itinerary for the four areas of Italy looked perfectly planned .
Nick was very understanding in as much as we did flex the itinerary quite a bit before booking and we have a holiday package which more than meets our needs.
Great and friendly customer service from Andy, as before. Andy always goes out of his way to find a holiday that matches our requirements.
Excellent service again from Dave. Having booked with e shores on a number of occasions they now understand our parameters. Price, days types of hotels etc.
Having dealt with eShores for several years, and with Dave Felton in particular, the latest holiday arranged by the Company was done smoothly, professionally and to our total satisfaction. Well done and keep up the great service.
Talked with Dave asking for assistance to finf flights for my sister and injured niece from Edinburgh to Perth in W.A. avoiding the Middle East. Dave again came up trumps with flights to suit and at a good price. First class service much appreciated.
Our holiday with Eshores was excellent. Hannah went above and beyond getting us exactly what we wanted and suited us. We couldn’t recommend them enough. The holiday was excellent and all the hotels (this was a multi centre holiday) were well situated particularly the Aston Kona by the sea on The Big Island it truly…
Quick and easy to contact and arrange a basic holiday in Europe. Good price too.
Greek island hopping sorted to perfection. Anna listened to everything I wanted and came up with a detailed plan which exceeded all my expectations. Every island on my to do list and with a choice of hotels. Thank you Anna.
