Embark on a bespoke adventure across the East Coast of Australia with our unforgettable 17-night tour, boasting family-friendly accommodation and exciting adventures throughout.
Your journey starts with a three-night stay in Cairns, Australia’s city gateway to The Great Barrier Reef and the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway. You'll embark on a full-day cruise with plenty of snorkelling and diving opportunities in the world's most iconic eco-system, plus get the chance for some white water rafting on the Tully River.
After flying along the Queensland coast to enjoy a stay in Airlie Beach, you’ll have even more natural highlights waiting for you. From crocodile safari cruises along Proserpine River to catamaran trips through the Whitsunday Islands and humpback whale spotting in the waters of Fraser Island, you won’t find a moment to be bored.
The Gold Coast is also featured on this itinerary. After enjoying the thrilling theme park attractions of Warner Bros Movie World and hiking the Gondwana Rainforest, you'll head to Byron Bay's white sandy beaches for surfing and kayaking among dolphins. Sydney, your final stop, is where you can discover the city's beach culture and iconic buildings - including the option for a Sydney Harbour Bridge climb!
In between travelling (by scenic rail journeys, ferry and self-driving), you’ll be residing in luxurious accommodation that welcome all ages.
