What's this trip about?

    Stunning natural attractions, vibrant cities, remote regions, and friendly people…this is Australia, and on this Australia tour—with Fiji—you’ll experience all of this and more. Start in Melbourne, end in Nadi, Fiji, and overnight along the way in Alice Springs, Uluru (Ayers Rock), Cairns, and Sydney. No vacation to Australia is complete without seeing the incomparable Great Barrier Reef. On this Australia tour, take a catamaran cruise to the Outer Great Barrier Reef and have the chance to snorkel, take a semi-submersible watercraft tour, or attend a presentation by a marine biologist. With the radiant colors and fish swimming by you, it’s nothing short of spectacular! But that’s not all. Also witness the spectacular geological wonders of Uluru, the iconic monolith and symbol of the Outback, and Kata Tjuta (the Olgas), with its red rocks and 36 brilliant domes. Tour the base of Uluru with its caves and Aboriginal paintings and enjoy a champagne toast while watching Uluru change colors at sunset—an amazing sight indeed! Also visit some of Australia’s most famous cities. In Alice Springs, learn about life and medical services in the remote regions of the Outback. In Sydney, cruise along the world-famous Sydney Harbour. In Melbourne, enjoy guided sightseeing of the city’s landmarks. In Melbourne, Cairns, and Sydney, also enjoy free time to explore on your own. On your return from Australia, spend three nights in tropical Fiji. Relax and discover the majestic Coral Coast where friendly locals and white sands will be the perfect ending to your time in the South Pacific. From the remote Outback to the tropical Great Barrier Reef, this Australia and Fiji tour—designed for value-minded, savvy travel lover—is a dream vacation!
