Thailand’s colourful capital, enjoying a sightseeing tour of

We recommend our ‘Essential Australia’ independent tour, as

four nights in Sydney, with entrance to some of the city’s top

attractions and a day tour to the stunning landscape of the

Blue Mountains National Park.

 

Fly from Sydney to Ayers Rock, and enjoy sunset over Uluru

and the iconic ‘Sounds of Silence’ dinner. Join a three-day

guided tour of the Red Centre’s highlights, including the

mysterious Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), dramatic Kings Canyon

and a night in the Outback town of Alice Springs.

 

Enjoy two nights in Cairns and two nights in Port Douglas,

to discover the very best of Tropical North Queensland.

You’ll ride the Scenic Railway to Kuranda on our included

excursion, and enjoy a boat trip to the Great Barrier Reef

with time for snorkelling at this unique eco-system.

 

Explore the tropical rainforest with a night at a lodge in

Cape Tribulation, before spending a memorable last

evening in Australia at the beachside resort of Palm Cove.

 

Time to head for home, flying from Cairns via Darwin to

Singapore. You’ll have three nights in this vibrant city,

whose modern lifestyle and colonial past makes it the ideal

combination of new and old. Enjoy a sightseeing tour of the

city, plus a trip to the East Coast & Changi.
