Australia Tours

1. Great Ocean Road

If you love driving, take an Australian road trip along the 150 miles of the Great Ocean Road across Australia’s southeastern coastline. Divine findings such as the craggy limestone of the "12 Apostles" or a Koala spot at Kennett River encapsulate so much of Australia’s natural charm. At Bells Beach, the surf is up—witness waves collide with coastline sands.

2. Great Barrier Reef

A mecca for divers around the world, the Great Barrier Reef is one of the seven wonders of the natural world, and the largest living organism on earth. With versatile marine life, diving and snorkeling opportunities, and effervescent coral, the Great Barrier Reef is a must-see stop on any Australian tour. It’s no surprise that the Great Barrier Reef is one of Australia’s most popular attractions. Enter another world full of one-off original wildlife, and seemingly bottomless blue waters.

3. Wine Regions of South Australia

If you’re passionate about wine, visit the "Great Wine Capital" of the world found in South Australia. The Barossa Valley and the Adelaide Hills are perfect spots to lay back and enjoy a bottle as vineyards roll out of view. The nearby City of Adelaide is perfect for foodies, as it boasts a thriving culinary scene, world-renowned restaurants, and chic Parisian-styled bars. Ask your Tourlane Travel Expert for insider recommendations about the best vineyards in the area.

4. Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park

If you love hiking and the outdoors, plan a trip to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park during your Australia vacation. Its dramatic centerpiece is Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, an oval-shaped rock that is the same height of the Empire State Building. This UNESCO World Heritage site rises majestically above Australia’s Outback and is sacred to the Aboriginal people of the area. Watch as it turns a blood-red with the moving of the sun. Then, enjoy a walk through Walpa Gorge (approximately one mile), a desert refuge for plantation and animals, and feel a welcome breeze.

5. Kangaroo Island

If you’re a nature lover, plan a visit to Kangaroo Island, which is about 70 miles from the mainland of South Australia. The island is home to an abundance of wildlife (kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, and more) and extraordinary vegetation. Book a trip out to sea and you’ll find dolphins and seals splashing all around you. Each day presents an opportunity to deeper explore these fertile lands, as well as take part in supervised sessions that allow you to hold and feed wildlife.

6. Karijini National Park

Located in Western Australia is the spectacular Karijini National Park. Within its walls are two billion years of history. Hike the Hancock Gorge and weave your way through this historic rock, described as a "journey to the center of the world". Cool off with a swim in the freshwater pools found among a cavernous gorge. The depths and high peaks of this ochre-red inland has had a profound historical significance on local indigenous people. Less
