Australia highlights: See the best of Australia
From the iconic skyline of Sydney to the pristine beaches of Byron Bay and the tropical Daintree Rainforest, these are the highlights of our tours to Australia!
Great Barrier Reef
As the world's most famous and fragile marine ecosystem, the Great Barrier Reef is arguably the king of Australia's myriad natural wonders. No trip to the Barrier Reef is complete without a boat cruise and snorkelling experience to explore the world beneath the waves. Home to sea turtles, colourful fish, rays and sharks, a visit to the Great Barrier Reef is sure to be a highlight of your Australia trip.
Daintree Rainforest
Stretching along Australia's north-eastern coastline, the Daintree Rainforest is the oldest continuously surviving tropical rainforest in the world. It teems with biodiversity and ancient landscapes, and visitors can embark on guided walks, discovering unique flora and fauna, while experiencing the wonder of the Mossman Gorge and its crystal-clear waters. Daintree River cruises provide an opportunity to spot crocodiles and diverse bird species.
Ningaloo Reef
Western Australia's answer to the Great Barrier Reef is Ningaloo, a pristine marine ecosystem known for its beautiful coral formations and as the best place in the world to see and swim with majestic whale sharks, the world's largest fish and a gentle giant of the seas. Ningaloo Reef is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and far less crowded and more intimate than the Great Barrier Reef.
