Explore the Great Barrier Reef, Australia’s Great Ocean Road and the gateway to Australia’s own Galapagos - Kangaroo Island!

Travel to Cairns, the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and the World Heritage-listed Daintree National Park. The region is as diverse in natural treasures as the cosmopolitan mix of cultures and peoples that call this region home. The majestic coral structures that make up the Great Barrier Reef extend over 930 miles, and provides superb recreational activities such as snorkeling, diving, swimming, semi-submersibles, coral viewing and fishing, and offers a unique environment for scientific research.  The rainforests of the Wet Tropics, a ‘living museum’ of flora and fauna, were placed on the World Heritage List in 1988 and cover an area of nearly 900,000 hectares of rainforest and tropical vegetation. Here, pockets of primitive plants have remained undisturbed for millions of years, and rare, even previously unidentified species of birds, insects and mammals have emerged to delight biologists and nature lovers.

Fly from Cairns to Adelaide, a beautiful city that has colonial heritage.  Surrounded by parklands, historic buildings, and churches, Adelaide offers a blend of the old and new. Visit the Adelaide Central Market, or go wine tasting in the Barossa Valley, Australia’s most renowned wine region.  No Australian vacation is complete without a visit to Australia’s zoo without cages, Kangaroo Island or “KI” as the locals call it, home to a wide range of native animals and spectacular beaches.  If you want to experience authentic Australia in a limited amount of time, Kangaroo Island is your must-see destination.  The island retains a rich diversity of wildlife & koalas are abundant on the island.  It remains one of the few places in Australia where you can see them in the wild.

Melbourne is renowned for the international sporting events it holds, and the award-winning restaurant and café’ scene, brought about by the cultural melting pot that is Melbourne.  Dress up for the theater, meander through the lanes and arcades to find myriad designer boutiques and galleries, or take in a game of Aussie Rules football.  With Melbourne as your base, there are plenty of opportunities to explore Victoria. Take a drive along the Great Ocean Road, visit the Fairy Penguins at Philip Island or enjoy a gourmet tour around the Yarra Valley Vineyards!
