Australia Bucket List Travel Ideas

  • An Australia vacation should be at the top of anyone's bucket list.

Why is Australia considered a top bucket list destination?

Australia is a large country that offers many different experiences for all ages and in one trip it's possible to combine a cosmopolitan city stay with wildlife, nature, sightseeing, culinary experiences, culture, sport, and amazing beaches. Australia's weather is comfortable all year round and it is safe and affordable with a wide range of accommodation for all budgets, and just as many touring styles to choose from. See a wealth of Aboriginal culture, nature and wildlife, and camp under the stars or in luxury tents. Australia offers endless walking and cycling trails, also 4WD safari experiences and private tours. Australia is perfect for relaxing, taking your time and enjoying the atmosphere but also perfect for non-stop action and activities.

What are the top bucket list activities on an Australia vacation?

Experience the Great Barrier Reef! Take a day cruise with activities like snorkeling, diving or just watching the corals in a glass bottom boat and watch the beautiful sea without getting wet. On the coast, visit the famous rainforests, ride the historic Kuranda Rail and skim over the rainforest on Kuranda Scenic Cablecar. In Brisbane visit the Australian zoo and feed wild dolphins by hand at Tangalooma Island Resort. Experience wine tasting and tour the vineyards around Sydney, Adelaide and South Australia. The Outback should not be missed. A visit to the Red Center and Uluru will leave you breathless. Take a Sunrise Camel ride in the outback, see the sun rise over this amazing monolith, and camp under the stars. Visit Uluru and Kata Tjuta and experience the Field of Light with a sunset bush bbq dinner.
