Melbourne
Your vacation will begin in Melbourne, the capital of Victoria and Australia’s top metropolitan destination. You’ll spend 3 nights in a stylish apartment-style hotel in the bustling heart of the city.
Voted as the world’s most livable city seven years in a row, you’ll instantly find yourself immersed in Melbourne’s pulsing lifestyle. On your first afternoon in Melbourne you’ll discover the local hot spots missed by tourists on our favorite walking tour through the laneways of the city. Visit intimate bars, eclectic restaurants and boutique shops hidden within these vibrant laneways, decorated with incredible street art bursting with life color.
Take a free day to explore Melbourne, Australia’s cultural capital of all things cool:
- Its world-renowned local coffee culture will delight any coffee lover with its scene of warm and unique flavors.
- Discover trendy rooftop bars or creative eateries with unique menus. The gourmet food scene always leaves foodies raving, with something to satisfy any craving imaginable.
- Its impressive collection of exhibits and museums are perfect for gallery-hopping. Get a dose of culture at the National Gallery of Victoria, Australia’s oldest, largest and most visited art museum.
- For open air shopping, the Queen Victoria Market is your stop for anything from fresh produce to merino wool knits.
You’ll discover a microcosm of Australia right on Melbourne’s doorstep – excellent wineries and breweries, wildlife, beaches, national parks and famous rugged coastlines along the Great Ocean Road. Your time spent in this wonderful city with its friendly people, amazing coffee and hidden secrets will fill you with great memories.
But you still have more of Australia to explore!
Hobart
After the hustle and bustle of Melbourne you’ll experience the tantalizing quiet life of Hobart, the capital of Australia’s island state of Tasmania. Here you’ll spend 3 nights in a fashionable 4-Star hotel located a block away from Hobart’s buzzing waterfront.
On your first morning in Hobart you’ll learn about its heritage intermixed with the yesteryear lives of English convicts on a city sights tour. Stop at Salamanca Place, where cozy markets, pubs and galleries reside within Georgian style warehouses. Visit Cascade Brewery, Australia’s oldest operating brewery. Tour the remains of Female Factory, a one time female prison. Take in the gorgeous scenery of Cascades Gardens and Royal Botanical Gardens.
The well-preserved turn-of-the-century architecture is just the beginning of Hobart’s stunning beauty and character. Its exquisite parks, historic buildings, famous markets and burgeoning music and arts scene are nestled beneath pristine Mount Wellington. Its renowned Museum of Old and New Art draws visitors from around the world for its controversial collections of antiquities and modern art. The national parks fringing the city showcase Tasmania’s jaw-dropping scenery of rolling green ranges and sparkling blue bays.
But Hobart’s real star is its fantastic food and drink.
With some of the cleanest air and waterways in the world, Hobart boasts the most remarkable produce to delight your taste buds.
- Indulge in premium catches of oysters, salmon and other delectable seafood in one of many great waterfront restaurants.
- Sip on single malt whiskies and gin from internationally recognized distilleries right in Hobart’s backyard.
- If wine or cider is more of your thing, there’s no shortage of bars, cellar doors, beer markets and wineries to tempt you.
After your stay in Hobart you’ll have seen more of Tasmania than most Aussies who are just a quick flight away.
Now get ready to see Australia’s most iconic city.
Sydney
From Hobart you’ll fly to Sydney, Australia’s capital in everything but name. You’ll stay 1 night in a 4-Star accommodation right in the heart of the city, with easy access to must-see attractions. Stroll along Darling Harbour to take in some of Australia’s most recognizable sights.
- See the Sydney Opera House, the internationally famed architectural masterpiece.
- Relax on one of Sydney’s many beaches, often rated as some of the best in the world. Manly Beach and Bondi Beach are favorites for soaking in the sun and catching some waves.
- Dine in your choice of casual or luxury restaurants, all boasting a range of incredible cuisines.
- Get your hands on a Sydney Harbour Cruise Express pass to catch all the splendid harbour sights such as Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, Taronga Zoo, Luna Park and more.
But one of Australia’s most iconic sights awaits in Cairns – the Great Barrier Reef!
Cairns
After a short domestic flight from Sydney you’ll arrive in Cairns, gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. Spend two nights in a 4.5-star hotel wonderfully located as the perfect base for exploring this tropical, laid-back side of Australia. You’re just minutes away from the lively Esplanade, Marlin Jetty and delicious waterfront restaurants boasting fresh seafood. Unwind with a cocktail by the pool and take in the relaxed tropical ambience of Cairns.
Now get ready to dive down under and discover the underwater wonderland of the Great Barrier Reef.
Your two-night stay in Cairns includes a cruise out to the reef on a luxury vessel with a top-rated tour operator. After cruising out to pristine dive sites and undergoing a safety briefing, don on your snorkeling mask and gear (all included) and explore the breathtaking coral formations and tropical marine life right before your eyes. Spot schools of fish flitting about you, or even sea turtles gracefully swimming by. Keep an eye out for the large Maori Wrasse fish, the friendliest blue giant you’ll ever meet! If you’d like to see the reef without getting wet, a glass-bottom boat and underwater viewing observatory is available for a small additional cost.
Ending your vacation in Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef ensures your last days on vacation end on a memorable note. On your flight home, sort through your photos, rest and relax. When you get back to real-life you’ll have the memories of this unforgettable vacation in these famous Australian cities to amuse your thoughts and talk about with friends, family and co-workers for days to come.
