Description
4 Nights – Perth
3 Nights – Adelaide
3 Nights – Melbourne
4 Nights – Sydney
5 Nights – Brisbane
✈ UK – Perth (4 nights): The adventure will begin in Perth, which is the perfect place to recuperate after your flight, as it’s well-known as one of Australia’s most relaxed metropolises. The locals love nothing better than to get out into the great outdoors and you will want to do the same, as the sunshine offers a nice change from back home. Work up an appetite on the beach and try your hand at surfing, something of an obsession here in Perth, then reward yourself with a delicious barbecue, a practice the locals have turned into an artform. While in Perth you must see the city and the Segway tours are a great way to get around without exerting too much energy in the hot Australian sun. Alternatively, meander down the tranquil Swan River, taking in the sights along its banks. Be sure to pack your dancing shoes, as the locals certainly know how to party and the city really comes alive at night.
✈ Perth – Adelaide (3 nights): Flying from Perth to Adelaide will transport you to a whole different atmosphere, as the stylish vibe of this well-kept city washes over you. Stroll around perfectly manicured gardens and get wined and dined at some of the best gourmet restaurants in the world. Don’t miss Adelaide’s 140 year-old Central Market, which is arguably the best food market in the whole of Australia and make sure you stop by Lucia’s, an Italian joint within the market which was the first place in Adelaide to sell pizza. If you want to change the pace, strap on your hiking boots and head to the Lofty Mountain Ranges, which can be found to the east of Adelaide, where you can take in panoramic vistas of the city below. To escape even further and get a taste of the varied landscape of Australia, head to Kangaroo Island. This evocatively named landmass is just off the coast of South Australia and is a nature lover’s dream. Here you will find wallabies, myriad bird species and of course, kangaroos.
✈Adelaide – Melbourne (3 nights): Keen TV soap fans will be quick to point out that Melbourne is in fact the home of Ramsay Street and taking a tour of the Neighbours set is a must-do for watchers of the show. Away from the dramas of Australia’s most famous families, there is plenty to see and do in the country’s second biggest city. Self-proclaimed as the cultural capital of Australia, you may wish to spend your time here visiting museums, such as the National Gallery of Victoria, but the art isn’t just confined to within the institutions, as street art is big in Melbourne. Wander the alleyways taking it all in, before finding a hip rooftop bar housed within a former industrial building to enjoy an innovative cocktail. Sports fans can also get their fix in Melbourne, as the city takes its local teams very seriously. Whether you are interested to find out about Australian Football League (AFL) firsthand, or take in some cricket, horse racing or Formula One, Melbourne has it all. If you’re there between December and March don’t miss the Moonlight Cinema which hosts films shown on the central lawn of the Royal Botanical Gardens.
✈ Melbourne – Sydney (4 nights): Sydney barely needs an introduction as many of its most famous sights are the images conjured up when thinking of Australia. Get up close and personal with the likes of the Sydney Harbour Bridge by opting for a climbing experience that will offer dramatic views of the city. Back down on earth, take in a show at the world-renowned Opera House. Australian aborigines are the oldest living culture to be found anywhere in the world and Sydney is a great place to learn more about their 50,000-year history. Also head to the Art Gallery of New South Wales, where an extensive collection of aboriginal art is housed.
✈Sydney – Brisbane (5 nights): Your final stop on your tour of Australia’s cities will take you to Brisbane, which sits on the banks of its namesake river. It is safe to say that this mainly underrated city has a bit of everything, from lush parks, historic buildings and cosy bookshops to low-lying islands featuring varied wildlife and a wine region right on its doorstep. Be sure to meet Brisbane’s most famous residents at the Lone Pine Koala Park, as cuddling up to one of these furry creatures will be a highlight of your trip. Brisbane is also home to what must be the most unusual music venue in Australia, The Underground Opera Company has refurbished a reservoir that was built between 1871 and 1882 and offers an impressive subterranean world.
✈ Brisbane – UK: Unfortunately, even the best holidays must come to an end, but at least you will have some fantastic memories to keep you company on the flight back to the UK.

We contacted eShores having visited the website to discuss a tailor made holiday to the Sporades islands. We spoke to one of the Travel Consultants, Kadie Ryan, who was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. We received a quote shortly following our conversation and with Kadie's help were able to book our holiday with ease the next day. We are very happy with our experience booking this holiday.

Fantastic Holiday. Just returned from a great South African holiday, Cape Town 3 nights, Pilanesberg Safari 3 nights and a week in Zanzibar. Big thanks to Chris again, his knowledge helped organise and plan this vacation. This is the second long haul holiday he has booked for us. Each holiday has been faultless even though we have changed the itinerary to suit . The Safari he recommended on this trip, Ivory Tree in Pilanesberg was 5 STAR and made the holiday, another tick on the bucket list. Eshores customer service is second to none. I recommended this company to my daughter who is presently on a Canadian fly drive with them and is thoroughly enjoying it. Based on previous experience Chris has now helped us book Australia, Hong Kong & Dubai for next February, can’t wait. All their trips are good value for money, would not have any hesitation in recommending them.

Very happy with what we booked, ( we asked for a trip/experience to Egypt), and Rachel put something together and within the budget we asked for. Once we reviewed it, we tweaked it several times for what we wanted in parts and Rachel did the rest. Very personable and pleasant to deal with. I think we will be looking at other experience holidays through E Shore in the future rather than your standard package holiday.

Booked with eshores last year. Holiday was excellent and everything ran smoothly. We had one problem with one of the transfers in which we missed the plane and had to pay for the next flight but that was sorted and refunded when we returned home. Booked with them again for next year. Matt has been extremely helpful (and patient. We are a nightmare). Eshores are very competetive and I would not hesitate in recommending them and I hope to be using them for years to come.
