This is off the beaten track exploring in comfort and style. All travel is by small group touring vehicle, allowing you to explore with just a small group of like-minded travelers. In the Red Centre of Australia, meet the local Luritja Aboriginal people who have called the Red centre their home for over 20,000 years. Travel by small group touring vehicle with specialized guides who will introduce you to the Australia that most visitors don’t get to see. You’ll visit Alice Springs and learn about the important services that are based in this area, onto Kings Canyon and then Ayers Rock. Next, fly to Cairns, the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. Cruise to the Great Barrier Reef as a marine biologist shares the secrets of this vast marine playground. You’ll have three relaxing nights in this beautiful city. And then in Sydney, you’ll be greeted by the world’s most resplendent harbor. With views of the Opera House and the Harbor Bridge, you won’t want to leave your hotel. On one day you’ll have a Half day Sydney city sights and on the next a luxury 4WD tour to the Blue Mountains. Your knowledgeable guide will point out wildlife in the wild and you’ll also visit some sacred Aboriginal sites and view the remarkable Three Sisters rock formation. And then there’s everything that makes a vacation to Australia special – the friendly people, the beautiful accommodations and the sights and sounds of the land Downunder.
