Frequently Asked Questions about Australia
Here are our most frequently asked questions about our trips to Australia.
How much does a trip to Australia cost?
There is no average cost for a trip to Australia, because the total cost depends on so many factors. Flight and hotel prices vary by the time of year, and your style of travel (budget, 4-star or luxury) also affects the price of your vacation. Flights to Australia alone range between $800 – $1,200, and hotel stays with daily tours only add to the expenses. For a 9 day trip to Australia with comfortable hotels and flights included, expect to pay no less than $3,000. Look out for our special Australia trip deals for sales on our most popular Australia vacations.
What is the best time of year to go to Australia?
Spring (September – November) or Fall (March – May) are some of the best times to visit Australia for their mild weather. These are also known as shoulder seasons, when the crowd rushes of peak tourism season start to dwindle and prices on flights and hotels are lowered.
Do I need a visa to go to Australia?
Tourist visas are required for travel entry into Australia. Tourist visas are also commonly referred to as a Travel Visa, Visitor Visa or Electronic Travel Authority (ETA). We will process your Australian Visa (ETA) when you book your trip with us.
How many days do you need to see Australia?
We recommend at least a 2 week (14 days) vacation to see all Australia has to offer. This gives you enough time to travel through the popular cities and destinations of the east coast, such as Melbourne, Sydney and the Great Barrier Reef, as well as a venture into the Outback to see Uluru (Ayers Rock). This also gives you enough time to relax between each destination. It’s important to give yourself free time to explore Australia on your own.
