The main highlights featured across our Australia tours are:
Kakadu National Park – One of Australia’s largest protected areas, rich in wetlands, birdlife and ancient rock art.
Uluru (Ayers Rock) – A sacred monolith that glows in changing light, with guided walks revealing rock art sites, waterholes and Anangu stories that shape this landscape.
Kangaroo Island – See sea lions at Seal Bay, walk wild coastlines in Flinders Chase National Park, and enjoy frequent sightings of kangaroos and koalas.
Great Ocean Road – A classic coastal drive past surf beaches and shipwreck shores, with the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge as headline viewpoints.
Adelaide – A friendly, food-forward city with markets, museums and leafy streets that’s a great base for exploration.
Great Barrier Reef – The world’s largest and most diverse coral system that can be enjoyed from a catamaran or on a snorkelling experience.
Brisbane – A city of riverfront galleries, gardens and a relaxed subtropical pace, with plenty of ways to enjoy time by the river.

You could also see the following on our optional excursions:
Kuranda Railway and Skyrail (Cairns) – A memorable rainforest pairing: vintage train one way, gondola gliding over canopy the other, with village time in between.
Phillip Island Penguin Parade – Watch hundreds of little penguins waddle ashore after a day’s fishing.
Sydney Opera House – A 20th-century icon whose sculptural sails and remarkable engineering make the harbourfront instantly recognisable.
The Blue Mountains – Sandstone escarpments, eucalyptus haze and far-reaching lookouts make for a classic excursion from Sydney, , with the famed Three Sisters rock pinnacles in the Jamison Valley among the highlights.

Australian food is varied, easy-going, and of excellent quality, especially if you like fresh seafood.
Barbecue cooking is a key part of the country’s cuisine and socialising. Alongside burgers, steaks, and sausages, you may also see grilled kangaroo on menus. It’s a lean meat that’s often compared to beef in flavour.
Other popular classics include meat pies, chicken parmigiana, and fish such as barramundi. Grilled, fried, or seared, this fish is a true Aussie favourite.
You may also come across bush tucker experiences that introduce native ingredients and long-standing food traditions.
Thanks to Australia’s proximity to South and East Asia, you’ll find Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai restaurants serving fragrant dishes from Mongolian lamb and green curry to dim sum.
If you have a sweet tooth, try pavlova or Lamingtons, light sponges dipped in chocolate and covered in coconut.
Australia is a year-round destination, but conditions vary widely by region.
As a rule of thumb, spring and autumn (September–November and March–May) offer more comfortable temperatures for city adventures and along the east and south coasts.
For the tropical north and the Red Centre, the drier, cooler months (May–October) are ideal.
Given how vast the country is and the distances between key sights, an escorted tour makes everything simpler. Stops are sequenced sensibly, internal flights and timings are handled for you, and expert Holiday Directors and Local Guides bring landscapes and cultures to life.
Travelsphere guided tours include free time for personal exploration, so you could enjoy a harbour walk in Sydney or a winery lunch near Melbourne alongside your planned group excursions.
Discover the story behind Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Yes, and many travellers do. If you’re considering both in one trip, it’s worth allowing enough time to experience each at a comfortable pace.
Australia’s icons, including Sydney, Uluru, and the Great Barrier Reef, are perfectly contrasted with New Zealand’s more cinematic North–South highlights (Rotorua’s geothermal sites, Queenstown’s alpine scenery, and Milford Sound).
Consider our Highlights of Australia with New Zealand add-on tour. You can also extend your trip to visit the Cook Islands.
Flights from the UK to Australia typically take around 18–24 hours or more, depending on your destination, route, and transit time. On our Australia tours, flights include a transit stop en route.
