Home/Tours/Australia Highlights: Sydney, Uluru & the Great Barrier Reef
About This Tour
A 9-day private circuit through Australia's icons — Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Blue Mountains, sunset over Uluru in the Red Centre, and snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef from Port Douglas. Domestic flights link Sydney, Uluru, and Cairns — the distances between Australia's headline sights are too great to drive, so this route flies between hubs and explores each one privately by road.
