Australia Adventure * September 20 - 30, 2019
Join us as we explore three cities, Brisbane, Cairns & Sydney, in the land down under. Australia really is like nowhere else on Earth. A giant island afloat in the Great Southern Ocean, cut off from the rest of the world for millennia, this most ancient of continents has long hidden its startling physical beauty and remarkable native wildlife from the rest of the world. Inhabited by Aboriginal people who have coexisted with the land for more than 40,000 years.
Our itinerary will give you the chance to experience some of the highlights of Australia.
Get up close and personal with some of Australia’s most famous wildlife in the city of Brisbane. Located in one of only two states where you can cuddle a koala; this opportunity shouldn’t be missed! You will also have a wonderful opportunity to interact and hand feed the kangaroos. Watch skilled sheep dog handlers and their amazing canine companions as they herd sheep through various obstacles.
From Cairns, dive or snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef, the largest structure on Earth made by living organisms, and one of the seven wonders of the natural world. Grab your mask and flippers and plunge into the turquoise waters of the world’s largest coral reef system. Take a helicopter ride to capture views of the reef from above.
Sydney makes the perfect place for the end of your Australian adventure. We’ll spend a few days in this beautiful harborside city where you can explore the Sydney Harbour on a luxury yacht, latch yourself onto the exposed spine of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, and climb the bridge pylon to gaze down upon the white sails of the Sydney Opera House as it takes center stage in the harbor.
