DELUXE | PRIVATE-GUIDED: Head on a relaxing Aussie adventure that combines the best of natural encounters and luxury accommodations. Visiting Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef, Sydney, and Kangaroo Island, you’ll stay in pampering deluxe hotels and lodges and experience a blend of Australia’s natural and cultural highlights.
This 12-day Australia vacation combines the excitement of Sydney with two of Australia’s most spectacular islands, Hamilton Island and Kangaroo Island, offering the perfect mix of tranquility, culture, and nature. It features deluxe accommodations and private tours.
Your trip to Australia begins on Hamilton Island, your idyllic oasis in the middle of the Great Barrier Reef. Stay at secluded qualia, one of the most celebrated resorts in Australia, where you’ll have the best of the island’s water sports, reef tours, and fishing at your disposal. You’ll have three full days at leisure to follow your fancy. Consider a scenic helicopter flight or enjoy a rejuvenating warm stone treatment or customized aromatherapy massage at qualia spa.
From Hamilton Island, connect south to Sydney, which greets you with its iconic Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. Enjoy the pampering comforts of the Park Hyatt Hotel and see popular favourites and lesser-known highlights on a Luxury Diamond City Tour, which takes you from the historical The Rocks neighbourhood to the picturesque Northern Suburbs. Another day, enjoy a luxury sailing cruise along the harbour to see the landmarks from the water and enjoy a lunch and drink as you sail. Use your full day at leisure to tour the Sydney Opera House, see critters at the Taronga Zoo, or escape the city like a local with a day trip to Blue Mountains National Park or the Hunter Valley wine region.
The final stop of your Australian ultimate retreat is Kangaroo Island, a biodiverse wonderland off the shore of South Australia, where Sea Dragon Lodge awaits you. Relax in one of three private suites along the island’s northeastern shoreline and spend two full days at leisure on the island. Head to natural landmarks such as the Remarkable Rocks and Admiral’s Arch and spot the abundant wildlife on the island, including koalas, sea lions, echidnas, and, yes, kangaroos. Each evening, retire to the lodge for fine home cooking, which includes a fresh bounty of local seafood. At the end of your Australia tour, connect to the airport for onward travels.

Tastes of Local Paradise - Luxury Diamond Full Day Tour
Your knowledgeable guide will collect you from your Sydney hotel around 8:30am to commence your private tour of Sydney and its many highlights, including the picturesque Northern Beaches. Your day begins in the Sydney old town (The Rocks) and the Central Business District, where you'll hear about the settling of Sydney, its colonial convict history, as well as its transformation to a modern-day commercial hub. You will also visit Macquarie Street and the famed Mrs. Macquarie's Chair for even more history and some prime views of the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
From here, it is time to escape the hustle and bustle, as you cross the Harbour Bridge, traveling through Northern Suburbs to the Northern Beaches Peninsula. Making your way across the lush Wakehurst Parkway, arrive at the coast at Warriewood Headland, where stunning views and delicious refreshments await. Next, follow the shoreline and enjoy ocean vistas before arriving at the Long Reef Headland. Here, stretch your legs as you walk to the lookout for even more coastal scenery.
Continue to the suburb of Dee Why for a leisurely lunch at one of the local-favorite restaurants. Here, with stunning beach views, indulge in a delicious 1-course lunch of your choice off the menu, accompanied by a glass of beer, wine or soft drink. After lunch, take some time to enjoy a walk on the beach or perhaps take a dip in the ocean! Next, stop in at the iconic 4 Pines Brewery for a taste of some of the best local beers. The final stop of the day is in the well-known beach suburb of Manly, where a walk along the esplanade gives you the chance to soak in typical Sydney vibes, watching impromptu beach volleyball games or observing surfers as they conquer the waves. Upon the conclusion of your tour you will be transferred back to your hotel at approximately 5.00 - 5.30pm.
