Tour overview

There's no shortage of incredible things to see in Australia, but how often do you get to watch the sky go dark in the middle of the day? This 10-day adventure combines memorable experiences across Australia's East Coast, from wandering Melbourne's famous laneways and exploring Sydney Harbour to celebrating the solar eclipse with a beachside BBQ at Manly's historic Q Station. Snorkel the Great Barrier Reef and discover the ancient Daintree Rainforest with a local Indigenous guide. It's a little bit of city, a little bit of tropics and one very special moment you won't forget.
