Kick off along the buzzing Darling Harbour, then wander the historic laneways of The Rocks, see famous sites like the Sydney Opera House and experience the Sydney Harbour on the Tribal Warrior Harbour Cruise. Then, venture into the heart of Australia and experience the awe of Uluru, Kings Canyon and First Nations sites in the Red Centre. Finally, bask in the natural splendour of the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest - this trip really shows that Australia can do it all.
Is this trip right for you?
- Flights from Sydney to Alice Springs and from Yulara to Cairns are not included. Please see the itinerary for information on recommended flight details.
- This trip involves plenty of walking over varied terrain and is best suited to travellers with good fitness and mobility.
- Temperatures in Australia's Red Centre can be extreme, so you will need to be well prepared. Depending on the time of the year, daytime can be very hot (and the Australian sun is very strong year-round) so always use sun protection and drink plenty of water. In the evenings temperatures can really drop, so bring sufficient warm clothing, too as in winter, temperatures can drop below zero at night.
- On some days of the trip, you’ll spend many hours driving through very remote areas of Australia.
- As sunrise and sunset times as well as weather conditions vary throughout the year, the order of activities may change to ensure you have the best experience possible. On occasion, the First Nations experiences may not be available should your guides have other cultural commitments, in which case there will be alternative activities.
- Some activities on this trip are subject to weather and water conditions and on occasion, may be cancelled for safety or operational reasons. In the case of cancellation, we will endeavour to find a suitable replacement activity.
- Minimum age: 15 years old.
*This itinerary is valid for departures from 01 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Please consult your Travel Specialist for details on itinerary variations outside these dates.*
