✈️ UK – Sydney (4 nights): Touching down in the vibrant city of Sydney, you’ll be greeted with a city full of culture, iconic landmarks, and beach lifestyle.  The Opera House is Sydney’s most symbolic landmark and a true architectural masterpiece. Catch a performance, join a guided tour for a backstage peek or take the Manly Ferry for a great view of the magnificent structure from the water.  Take a walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge or scale its heights on the exciting ‘BridgeClimb’ experience.  For the more historic side of the city, head to The Rocks with its narrow streets, pubs and markets or meet some of Australia’s wildlife with a trip to Taronga zoo.  Finally, don’t miss a trip to the lively Bondi Beach to enjoy the surf culture and soak up the sun.

 ✈️ Sydney – Brisbane & Coast (7 nights):  You’ll take a flight to Brisbane where you’ll find a welcoming city with lush parks, historic buildings and cosy cafés.  Brisbane is also home to the region’s cutest residents at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary – an absolute must-see.  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 including the South Bank Parklands and the Queensland Art Gallery.

After two nights in the city, we’ll whisk you off to a beach resort of your choice along the nearby coastline.  Popular options include Noosa, which boasts luxury hotels and high-end dining, and 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 Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast or both. If you’re considering visiting both, we highly recommend extending your stay to fully experience what each destination has to offer.

✈️ Cairns – Whitsundays (2 nights – optional extension):  Enhance your adventure with an optional stay in the achingly beautiful Whitsunday Islands, where you can choose from eight idyllic inhabited islands. Each destination, including the luxurious Hayman Island, the serene Long Island, and Whitsunday Island, famous for its stunning Whitehaven Beach and offering its own unique charm. With powdery white sands and crystal-clear turquoise waters, this tropical paradise invites you to enjoy a variety of water-based activities or simply relax in paradise, fully immersing yourself in the stunning natural beauty that surrounds you.

✈️ Brisbane – Cairns/Great Barrier Reef (3 nights): For your final stop in Australia, you’ll fly up to Cairns, the gateway to the incredibly stunning natural phenomenon that is the Great Barrier Reef. This immense reef offers some of the best opportunities to view marine life in the world whether you’re snorkelling or diving or viewing from a glass-bottom boat.  The city of Cairns itself is also an interesting place to explore, with a vibrant restaurant and café culture along its esplanade and a lively lagoon side market.

✈️ Cairns – Bali (7 nights):  After soaking in the breath-taking highlights of Australia, your adventure culminates with a week in the enchanting paradise of Bali. You can choose to spend the whole 7 nights unwinding on a pure beachside retreat or opt for a balanced experience by spending 3 nights in Ubud and 4 nights by the coast. In Ubud, dive into the local culture by exploring vibrant art markets, tranquil temples, and picturesque rice terraces. Don’t miss the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, home to a large population of long-tailed macaques that roam freely among lush forests and ancient temples. The culinary scene here is exceptional, with a focus on fresh, organic produce from local farms – often with views to die for. For your beach getaway, choose from one of the many powdery beaches along Bali’s coastal areas.  Popular destinations include the luxurious resorts of Seminyak and Nusa Dua, where breath-taking ocean views and world-class service will create the perfect end to your holiday.

✈️ Bali – UK: Return to the UK with a raft of unforgettable memories from your extraordinary holiday to Australia and Bali.
