Your Itinerary
Days 1 – 3 Arrive Sydney
Discover the sights of the harbor city. Make the most of your stay with Choice Experiences like the Sydney Harbor Bridge Climb or embrace the beach lifestyle with a surfing lesson at Bondi Beach or a cruise on the Sydney Harbor.
For Adventure Lovers you will love the adrenalin rush you get climbing to the top of the Sydney Harbor Bridge standing 440 ft above sea level. You get an amazing view of the harbor and surrounding suburbs.
For Beach Lovers the fun of surfing at Bondi Beach, one of the worlds most famous beaches will be a thrill. There’s nothing like watching all the beach goers enjoying the gorgeous sun and surf in Bondi.
For Introverts and those wanting a more Cultural Experience you can enjoy the fun of a cruise on Sydney Harbor. You’ll likely get to hear about the history of Sydney and the coves that make up the harbor. There is nothing like being on the harbor in beautiful summer weather.
Days 4 – 5 Sydney to Uluru
Fly from Sydney to Uluru (Ayers Rock) in Central Australia. Walk to Mutitjulu Waterhole and get up close with Aboriginal rock art before experiencing the Uluru sunset. There is nothing like it, in the outback with nothing but stars 180 degrees across the sky after dark.
The Sydney to Ayers Rock flight is included.
Add ons include a scenic flight over Uluru or go on a tour to view Kata Tjuta at sunset.
Days 6 – 7 Uluru to Cairns
Wind down and fly to Cairns where you will notice the native rainforest surrounding you, and get to experience the Great Barrier Reef. Cairns is a tropical wonderland and the Barrier Reef experience is not to be missed.
Breathe in the fresh air on an orientation tour along the beachfront boardwalk.
Ayers Rock to Cairns flight is included.
Days 8 – 9 Cairns Your Way
Lots of different experiences to choose from whilst you are in Cairns.
You can experience a boutique food and wine tasting in the Atherton Tablelands.
Get up close (safely) and personal with a crocodile at Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures. Definitely not for the faint hearted.
Ride on the Kuranda Scenic Railway to the ‘village in the rainforest’, Kuranda where you can see the butterfly exhibit. Then return via the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway where you are over the rainforest tree tops. This is an experience not to be missed.
Or, you can cruise to the Great Barrier Reef and pull on your snorkeling gear to experience the wonder of this natural phenomena. I don’t envy you because each of the choices are so unique and different that you will likely have a hard time choosing.
Day 10 – Depart Cairns
It’s time to say goodbye to Australia and your experience and head back to the USA.
You are sure to have had a wonderful experience. One you will treasure for a lifetime. Any maybe, just maybe be already thinking about the next time you visit.
After breakfast it’s time to say goodbye to your travel companions and head to the airport.
