As one of the most expansive and bio-diverse regions on earth, Australia delivers in spades where most other countries can only manage spoonfuls. Whether you’re taking an overland tour of the ‘top end’ during the dramatic and awe-inspiring monsoon season, lazing on the glorious east coast beaches, diving on the Barrier or Ningaloo Reefs, revelling in the sheer vastness of the achingly beautiful west coast, hauling your weary torso up Ayers Rock in the blistering midday heat, or picking your way around the hundreds of bays and coves of the stunning Tasmanian coastline – Australia will amaze and delight you in equal measures, and leave you longing for more.

Build your Australia holiday package

We’ve teamed up with a range of quality travel partners to offer you the very best in accommodation, tours, and activities, helping to turn your trip to Australia into a truly unforgettable holiday of a lifetime.

City-wise, a typical Australia holiday package might take in the super-modern metropolitan meccas of Sydney, Melbourne, or Perth, the balmy delights of Brisbane, the pristine beaches around Cairns, and the charmingly remote outpost that is Darwin. Famously laid-back Adelaide awaits those taking the Great Ocean Road west from Melbourne, with Tasmania’s Hobart and Launceston also only a short flight or ferry hop away from the Victorian state capital.

Adventure Tours

Australia can make a justified claim for being the adventure tours capital of the world. How about taking a dawn hot air balloon flight with breakfast to watch the sun rise over the Red Centre near Alice Springs? Or maybe take a 4x4 vehicle around the world’s largest sand island – Fraser Island, just off the Queensland coast – where wild dingoes roam, and sharks, turtles, dolphins and majestic manta rays can be spotted from Indian Head – the place named by Captain Cook as he stood on the deck of the Endeavour and observed the Aboriginals staring back at him. And an adventure tour of Australia can’t be complete without a snorkel or diving trip on the world’s biggest expanse of coral – the Great Barrier Reef.

For those wanting a truly life-changing underwater encounter, making the trip over to Exmouth on the west coast between April and June as part of your Australian adventure tour could earn you an audience with some of the world’s biggest and most-elusive sea creatures – whale sharks. The whale sharks emerge from the abyss each year to feed on the annual coral spawn explosion off the back of the remarkable Ningaloo Reef, before once again retreating to the depths of the Indian Ocean for months. Local operators organise snorkelling trips out to see the whale sharks, offering punters the opportunity to take to the water and swim amongst these majestic and harmless monsters of the deep (harmless if you stay clear of their 3 metre tails, that is!).
Suffice to say - for adventure tours, Australia has got all bases covered.

However you choose to shape your Australia holiday package, you can be certain it’ll give you memories that will last a lifetime.

A few facts and tips to ponder when planning your Australia holiday package:

At 2,300 miles, Darwin to Hobart by air is around the same distance as London to Baghdad. An overland tour between these two Australian capital cities would be more like 3,100 miles.
Much of the south of Australia has a temperate (four season) climate, whereas the north is tropical and has only two seasons – dry and wet. Conveniently, when the south is in winter, the north is in dry season. Likewise, when the north is in wet season, the south is in summer.

With its coral reef and wide variety of land flora and fauna, the coastal area around the west coast town of Exmouth has been cited by scientists as being one of the most bio-diverse regions on earth.

Often branded as being wet and windswept by mainlanders, the capital city of the gorgeous island state of Tasmania – Hobart - is actually Australia’s second-driest state capital.

With a staggering 851 flights between the two cities per week, the air route between Sydney and Melbourne is the fourth busiest in the world.
