Best Australia Vacation Packages

Melbourne – Adelaide

Melbourne is the paradise for people into art, football, and food; locals are definitely crazy about all three and any visitor to this city will see, feel, and taste it. In Melbourne, art can mean colorful lanes bombed with graffiti or exhibits and performances at the National Gallery. The city is serious about its coffee and its food scene is rich and adventurous not just in size and flavor but also in the choice of locations.

Adelaide may not automatically make it to the list of the hippest places to visit but if you give it a closer look, you might be surprised. Its image is cultured and seemingly buttoned-up but take a second look and you’ll see that it’s got a casual and friendly air about it. In the last few years, Adelaide has become festival central, playing host to a number of local and international festivals. It is also wine country. Adelaide’s rolling hills are home to some of Australia’s finest vineyards.

Take the Great Ocean Road tour and fill your travel from Melbourne to Adelaide with lots of experiences along the way. Pass through some interesting places such as: surfing spots from Torquay to Anglesea, the Great Otway National Park, and the limestone cliffs of the Twelve Apostles.

Uluru

The outback is where true Australian adventure lies. In Australia, holiday packages will most certainly offer a trip to the interior. And no outback trip is complete without going to Uluru.

Located roughly in the center of Australia, Uluru (a.k.a. Ayer’s Rock) has become recognizable as much a symbol of Australia as the Sydney Opera House. The site has endured and survived disruption to come out the other end as a rare double UNESCO natural and cultural World Heritage Site.

An Ayers Rock tour from Alice Springs, the nearest big town, is one of the fastest and most scenic routes to this massive red rock. An To get the true backpacking experience, a Ayers Rock tour is one of the best ways to enjoy the experience: no rush, laid back, educational, and respectful of the culture and heritage of its aboriginal caretakers.

Sydney – Brisbane - Cairns

Glitzy, loud, and saucy are some of the words that have been used to describe the city. They’re accurate but incomplete. Sydney has something for everyone, young or old, rugged or refined. It has both high style and natural beauty. And it definitely has personality. It’s both fancy yet easygoing—a nice top thrown into your backpack to go with the ever-reliable pair of jeans and you’re set for most places.

As you head up the coast relax with a day or two in Brisbane. It seems to pale in comparison to its flashier sister cities along the coast but Brisbane has many charms of her own. With Kangaroo Point Cliffs and Mt. Coot-tha, it’s a great starting point for nature trekkers and climbers. A journey from Sydney to Brisbane offers the chance ot enjoy teh amazing beaches that make Australia a surfer's paradise.

But one of the grandest trips is Sydney to Cairns, a haven for adventure travelers, while also offering stops in Ayers Rock the Blue Mountains. A trip to this part of Australia normally equals a trip to the Great Barrier Reef—as it should—but Cairns has other things to offer outdoor explorers. The Daintree Rainforest, Tully River white water rafting, and the Millaa Millaa Falls circuit are three that immediately come to mind.

So grab your pack and go. Australia is a wide open for more adventure seekers.
