Trip highlights
Sydney is the capital of New South Wales and is located on the southeast coast on the eponymous Sydney Harbour. It is served by Sydney Airport which is approximately 30mins drive to the main central business district. Most international flights arrive in Sydney.
Sydney offers temperate weather which makes it perfect for visiting all year around. Sydney’s busiest seasons are between December to February during the peak of summer, but offers a diverse range of activities throughout the year.
A renowned off-shore escape, Kangaroo Island is a naturally abundant island found off the southern coast of South Australia. It is home to outstanding scenery of native bushland, unique and abundant wildlife, a close-knit community of welcoming locals, and outstanding food and wine.
The perfect place to enjoy customised touring, Kangaroo Island is a bucket list destination filled with outstanding and quintessentially Australian experiences.
Found in the heart of the Northern Territory, Australia’s Red Centre is awash with natural icons and dramatic vistas in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. This significant area is the Traditional Lands of the Anangu people and is one of Australia’s most recognisable and popular destinations for a holiday escape, best discovered with the region’s ultimate luxury accommodation and tour experiences.
Winter is the ideal time to visit the region, as the temperatures are milder and perfect for exploring.
The Northern Territory’s Top End is a vast area including Arnhem Land, Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks, offering landscapes filled with jagged peaks of towering escarpment, plentiful wildlife, and a rich cultural heartbeat just outside of Darwin.
The Top End region of Australia experiences two distinct seasons of weather.
With an expansive 423,000 square kilometres of remote landscape, the Kimberley is a prolific destination featuring wildlife, majestic canyons, freshwater swimming holes and indigenous culture stretching back tens of thousands of years. With the region being largely untouched, the Kimberley is home to an incredible array of beautiful beaches, untouched coral atolls and an amazing array of marine life.
The Kimberley experiences two seasons throughout the year similar to Darwin and the Top End. These seasons are the wet season (November to April) and the dry season (May to October).
Port Douglas is a beautiful resort town located at the end of a peninsula, resulting in tranquil surrounding waters and beautiful lush rainforest. With plenty of five-star restaurants, art galleries and designer boutiques, Port Douglas is one of Australia’s most fashion-forward resort-towns. The area surrounding Port Douglas is just as beautiful, with the Daintree National Park located within such a close proximity. The Daintree Rainforest is among one of Australia’s most iconic natural phenomena, and is the only location in the world in which the rainforest meets the sea.
The weather in Port Douglas is a lovely mix of refreshing, mild winters (Dry Season) and balmy, sunny summers (Wet Season).
