26 Days
Sydney to Tasmania & Everything in Between
Combo of Free Time & Guided Tours
From Adelaide to Yallingup Western Australia and Beyond
Check out our Downunder Travel example itinerary – there are no prices listed on these tours because just like every lid does not fit every pot, the same goes for the trip that is designed for you. We tailor-make tours to suit your own needs and the below is an example of what someone on a trip from Canada or the USA might experience with the same amount of time to see Australia/New Zealand.
We look forward to designing your own special itinerary just for you.
Why take this tour?
Visit Phillip Island and see the parade of adorable fairy penguins as they head back to their burrows in the evening. The island is home to one of the largest penguin colonies in the world!
Get to know the bustling cosmopolitan city of Melbourne, then take a small group overnight tour to the Great Ocean Road, a stunning coastal drive site on Australia’s National Heritage List
Customize your package! The beauty of having a bespoke itinerary designed and not a cookie-cutter pre-packaged itinerary is that it is all designed just for you!
