A luxury Australia tour from the reef to the Red Centre and Sydney Harbour
This private Australia tour covers three very different sides of the country in twelve days. Begin in tropical Cairns with rainforest wildlife and a full day on the Outer Great Barrier Reef. Fly to Uluru for four nights at Longitude 131°, a luxury tented camp facing the rock. Finish in Sydney at the heritage-listed Capella Sydney.
Flights, private transfers and some of Australia’s best experiences are arranged for you, from dinner under the outback stars at Sounds of Silence to a sunset cruise on Sydney Harbour. The journey ends with a flight to Auckland, so it links easily to a New Zealand extension.
