What To Expect
This tour encompasses many regions of Australia including Adelaide and Kangaroo Island in the south of Australia. Alice Springs and Uluru (Ayers Rock)(opens in a new tab) in the center and further north to Darwin and the remote regions of Kakadu and Arnhem Land. After spending much time in the outback of Australia the tour concludes over in Port Douglas where our clients enjoyed some time on the Great Barrier Reef.
The tour does not have any prices listed as our Australia Travel Planners can extend, chop and change things and tailor-make it to your own wants, needs, and budget. The layout is just a guide on what you can do with so many days in Australia and what regions you can see.
Our Australia Travel Planners look forward to designing for you an amazing trip to Australia!
