Spring is fall, winter is summer, today is tomorrow and the further north you travel the warmer it gets. We're talking about Australia! The land Down Under is a land of contrasts and diversity with exotic animals, sophisticated cities, the Great Barrier Reef, rain forests and huge expanses of untouched wilderness.
Culture buffs flock to Sydney’s Opera House. Wine aficionados head to Hunter or Barossa Valley. Adventure seekers scuba dive, sail, go rock climbing or ride a camel. Nature lovers discover the elusive platypus, cuddle a koala, search for saltwater crocs and go for a bush walk on Kangaroo Island.
The accommodations in Australia are equally diverse with an underground hotel in Cooper Pedy, luxury tree houses in the Daintree Rain Forest, live aboard dive boats, apartments and hotels in all major cities, luxury lodges and a wide variety of island retreats.
Often, the toughest part of planning a trip to Australia are the choices - where, when, how long, how fast, what to include and what to leave for your next trip! As hard as it is to choose, you may enjoy more time in fewer places so you can soak up some of Australia’s truly special experiences.
If you must see and do it all, an escorted tour often covers the maximum amount of sightseeing in the minimum of amount of time and is an economical way to travel as well. Your tour guide and driver will handle the logistics (and the luggage), so you’re free to wear yourself out sightseeing! Itineraries range from a few days to more than a month in length and can have every minute and meal preplanned or move at a more leisurely pace. There are excellent small group tours and customized itineraries as well as the more traditional 40-45 passenger bus tours. Choices, choices choices…
