What To Expect
This tour had our guests traveling through four very different regions in Australia. They visited the cosmopolitan city of Melbourne where they enjoyed some funky city sights and then a full day tour down to the iconic Great Ocean Road. They then wandered into the Australian Outback to experience dining under the Southern Cross and walking around the “big red rock”.
After all of this, they went and spent a few days near the ocean enjoying the Great Barrier Reef and a fun trip to the Rainforest whilst looking for Crocodiles on the river. They ended their Honeymoon in Australia by spending their last few days in everyone’s must-see city of Sydney.
The tour below does not have prices listed as it can be tweaked to fit your wants, needs, and budget. Add extra days into other destinations in the South Pacific i.e a stopover in New Zealand or Fiji, or keep it exactly as it is!

What Our Past Travelers Have to Say
(…) From the beginning, Dianne really stood out. She spent a significant amount of time on the front end learning what we were interested in and what we did not like about previous tours. (…) I would definitely recommend GoWalkabout Travel to any of my friends and family. Thanks again for our trip! We had a fantastic time!
