Today is a day for rest and recovery. You can arrive in Melbourne on any convenient flight. Details about the meeting and airport transfer are in the “Meeting Point and Time” section. If you arrive early in the morning or during the day, you’ll have a great opportunity to enjoy the views of Melbourne, recover from the journey, or spend time in one of the local cafés, soaking up the atmosphere of this wonderful city. Your exciting Australian adventure begins tomorrow!
It’s time to get to know Melbourne — a city where historic buildings blend perfectly with modern architectural masterpieces. During the city tour, you’ll visit Collins Street, Federation Square, the Formula 1 circuit, and admire the Parliament House and Royal Botanic Gardens.
Then you’ll head to the Dandenong Ranges, home to majestic eucalyptus trees, ancient ferns, and beautiful cockatoos and rosellas that you can feed by hand. You’ll also take a ride on a historic steam train through the dense forest and over wooden bridges.
After that, a real treat for food lovers awaits! Australia is famous for its wines, and you’ll visit a winery in the Yarra Valley. You’ll also stop at a local cheese factory and chocolate factory. A perfect end to the day!
In the morning, you’ll set off on one of the world’s most beautiful roads — the Great Ocean Road. It winds along the ocean, passes through eucalyptus forests, and offers breathtaking views.
You’ll drive through charming resort towns with surfer beaches, visit the Split Point Lighthouse at the meeting point of two oceans, and take a walk in the eucalyptus forest where you can easily spot Australian animals: koalas, kangaroos, and colorful parrots.
The highlight of the day is a visit to the majestic Twelve Apostles rock formations. These natural giants, shaped by wind and water, have become a true symbol of Australia.
For an additional fee, you can take a helicopter flight and admire the rocks and bays from above.
In the morning, you’ll fly to Cairns — the heart of Australia’s tropical north.
After arrival and hotel check-in, the rest of the day is free. Since Cairns is a resort town, you’ll immediately feel its special atmosphere. You can stroll around the town or relax by the sea in a café, enjoying views of the ocean.
Today you’ll see one of the greatest natural wonders of the world — the Great Barrier Reef. It is the largest coral reef system on the planet, visible even from space.
From Cairns pier, you’ll depart on a fast catamaran. In about 1.5 hours, you’ll reach the first reef, where you can put on a mask and snorkel in the warm waters of the Coral Sea. At the second reef, there’s a floating pontoon with a helipad, so those who wish can admire the underwater world from the air (additional fee).
Afterward, you’ll head to Fitzroy Island to enjoy tropical forests and pristine coral beaches. You’ll have free time after lunch for swimming, relaxation, and other activities. Return to the hotel in the evening.
Today you’ll travel to the village of Kuranda, where you’ll immerse yourself in the culture of the local Pamagirri Aboriginal people. You’ll get there on a historic panoramic train — a journey that feels like stepping back in time. The railway runs over aqueducts, past waterfalls, gorges, and lush forest.
You’ll learn about Aboriginal life, watch traditional dances, and try throwing a boomerang. You’ll also walk through the Rainforestation Nature Park among exotic birds and humid tropical rainforest.
On the way back, you’ll take the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway — the best way to enjoy panoramic views of the Kuranda region and Barron Falls.
Later, you’ll visit the Atherton Tablelands with ancient volcanic lakes and giant Kauri trees. Here you’ll enjoy real gastronomic treasures: coffee, chocolate, and liqueur tastings at the Coffee Works museum, plus a chance to visit tropical fruit farms.
We deliberately left this day free so you can enjoy the beaches and relaxed atmosphere of Cairns.
For those who want more activity, you can take an optional guided walk through Mossman Gorge (extra fee). Suspended bridges wind through ancient jungle, offering peaceful silence and the chance to swim in a clear mountain river.
You can also visit Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures, take a lagoon cruise to see massive saltwater crocodiles, watch a snake show, and enjoy the thrilling “Crocodile Attack” show.
In the afternoon, head to the picturesque resort town of Port Douglas for lunch and a stroll before returning to Cairns in the evening.
In the morning, you’ll fly to Sydney — Australia’s most famous city. You’ll then begin discovering it. During the tour, you’ll see the iconic Opera House, visit the Observatory, drive through exclusive suburbs with the country’s most expensive homes, and head to the coast beloved by surfers worldwide. You’ll visit Captain Cook’s landing site and admire the dramatic cliffs at The Gap in Watson Bay.
In the evening, those who wish can enjoy an optional luxury dinner cruise around the harbor with live music, fine dining, and stunning views of the illuminated Opera House and Harbour Bridge (extra fee).
After breakfast, you’ll meet your guide in the hotel lobby and set off.
First stop — a wildlife park where you can feed kangaroos and take photos with koalas. You’ll be charmed for the rest of the day!
Next is the spectacular Blue Mountains National Park with breathtaking views and scenic trails. You’ll walk among the trees, take photos from lookout points, ride the panoramic Scenic Railway, and enjoy views from the cableway.
In the evening (if time permits), you may visit the charming town of Leura for a walk through the eucalyptus forest.
Note: The guide may adjust the program depending on weather conditions, crowd levels, and group well-being.
Today is a completely free day. You can explore the city or relax on the waterfront, enjoying ocean views.
For active travelers, there’s an optional cruise to Jervis Bay in southern Australia. You can watch dolphins and relax on Hyams Beach with its famous white sand.
You’ll spend this day in one of Australia’s oldest national parks.
First, you’ll climb to Bald Hill lookout for stunning coastal panoramas. Then you’ll descend through trails past rocks and green lawns to Burning Palms Beach — a perfect spot to relax and watch the ocean.
