Ah, Australia! The land of kangaroos, koalas, the Outback, and the Great Barrier Reef. Iconically Australian, the things that come to mind at first when thinking of the continent only begin to scratch the surface. Australia is vast and sprawling as the sixth-largest country globally, covering an area of approximately 2.94 million square miles. It's sheer size makes it a unique and enticing destination. From the sun-drenched beaches, arid deserts of the outback, lush rainforests of the north to the rugged landscapes of the south, Australia offers a diverse range of landscapes that few countries can rival.
One of the most striking aspects of traveling in Australia is the diversity of experiences it offers. Explore vibrant cosmopolitan cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, each with its own distinct character and cultural attractions. Embark on a journey into the remote wilderness where you'll encounter unique wildlife, recognizable landmarks like Uluru's Ayers Rock, and experience the country through an Indigenous lens with the help of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander guides. The 16,010 miles of coastline invites snorkelers, divers, and surfers to explore new depths and gain a more profound appreciation for the ocean. And so much more.
Australia's expansiveness will have you questioning if a two-week...or four-week...trip is enough time to experience it. In our opinion, a lifetime wouldn't be enough, but given we can't all take multiple weeks off to galavant around Australia, we put together a few sample itineraries that showcase the best of the country that we believe will appeal to just about everyone.
As always, the trips we plan are entirely customizable. We share sample itineraries so you can get a better idea of what accommodations and experiences are offered in a given destination. Allow your mind to wander and use the itineraries as heavily researched, expertly vetted gems of inspiration! Who knows, you might run into a property or place you didn't know about that becomes a highlight of your upcoming trip.
