Journey Through Australia’s Rainforests, Reef & Outbacks

Few Australia vacations focus on cross-cultural discovery with an eco-friendly twist, making this VBT adventure a rare gem. Cruise the Great Barrier Reef on a sailing catamaran—preserving the fragile ecosystem as a local marine biologist guides your discovery. Visit a First Nations artist enclave, where you’ll learn the fine art of traditional dot painting—then journey to Uluru where you’ll experience a stunning sunset dinner. Explore the Daintree rainforest with a local First Nation’s guide and enjoy a traditional bush tucker lunch. In sophisticated Sydney, you’ll visit the Opera House, explore Bondi Beach, and take a scenic bushwalk with a local guide. An optional guided post-trip extension to New Zealand’s South Island brings you M?ori culture, glacier experiences, and a cruise on Milford Sound. Group Size: 10-16

Tour Highlights:
  • Discover Melbourne’s charming neighborhoods with a local guide
  • Learn from Aboriginal guides at Uluru and in the Daintree, experiencing dot painting, bush tucker, and cultural traditions deeply connected to Australia’s oldest landscapes
  • Sail to the Outer Great Barrier Reef for snorkeling among vibrant coral gardens and tropical fish, or relax on deck soaking up turquoise sea views
  • Explore Sydney through multiple lenses: a guided walk in the Botanic Gardens, surf lifesaving culture at Bondi, and a private Opera House tour
  • Journey into the Blue Mountains for wildlife encounters, boutique wine tasting, panoramic lookouts, and heritage gardens
