About This Tour

Enjoy three of Australia’s great destinations. In Cairns, enjoy a spectacular half-day trip to the Great Barrier Reef. After that there is ample time to explore on your own. Ride the Skyrail Cableway through the rainforest to Kuranda, a quiet mountain village, and learn about Aboriginal culture and folklore at Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park. Then, fly to beautiful Sydney, the largest city in Australia. After the guided sightseeing tour you will have plenty of time to pursue independent activities. Take the exhilarating climb to the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge, admire the architecture of the stunning Sydney Opera House, and take a cruise on Sydney Harbour. Next, on to Melbourne, the “Garden City” of Australia. Discover the city’s highlights on a guided sightseeing tour. On your own, sample wine in the Yarra Valley, set among the mountains of the Great Dividing Range; drive the stunning Great Ocean Road to see the Twelve Apostles; and watch the Penguin Parade on Phillip Island.
