AUSTRALIA

The great Outback is a rugged land ripe for exploration enhanced by vibrant cityscapes primed for cosmopolitan indulgence. On your bespoke holiday to Australia, wander off the beaten path by glamping on the dunes of Western Australia's Cape Range National Park and delve into local history with a visit to Aboriginal tribes.

Or, sign up for quintessential Australian experiences by embarking on a road trip along one of the most iconic routes in the world, the Great Ocean Road, or around the beautiful island of Tasmania.

Got wildlife on your radar? Frolic with native animals at Kangaroo Island. While in the South, contribute to the Tasmanian devil conservation effort and journey to see the Southern Lights, one of the most mesmerising phenomena known to the human eye. The UNESCO World Heritage-inscribed Great Barrier Reef, the planet's largest living structure, is a must-visit while in Queensland; opt for a specially arranged private snorkelling tour or diving trip to fully appreciate its majestic beauty from up close.

For gourmet indulgence on your bespoke holiday to Australia, the Margaret River region will surely tick the right boxes with all the best local produce the country has to offer, as will Mornington Peninsula and the up-and-coming Orange and Mudgee. Drink your fill of award-winning wines at the likes of Barossa Valley, Hunter Valley and Yarra Valley, or relax at boutique wine producers at more local regions such as Adelaide Hills and Shoalhaven.

Explore the iconic cities on your own terms – take luxury up one notch in celebrated experiences with intimate or behind-the-scenes indulgences. From climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge to going on a street art tour in Melbourne to exploring fossil sites and geological formations to immersing in Aboriginal culture, your bespoke holiday to Australia can truly be stirring and exhilarating.

Your bespoke holiday to Australia in the new travel era

WONDERGOLANDER is currently designing only private tours to Australia, with a minimum of five nights. This means that you will either have your personal driver-guide escorting you throughout your holiday, or enjoy a combination of private transfers between destinations and exploring the destination with a guide exclusive to your group at each location, with some free and easy time where appropriate.

If you prefer a self-drive holiday, we can design this as your mode of transport between destinations or only in a specific geographical region (for a limited duration of the entire trip). Your bespoke holiday to Australia will still primarily revolve around private or small-group touring (where private tours are unavailable).

Travel costs have risen significantly due to high demand and limited supply. For the best perceived value, we recommend trips to Australia to be designed at least 3 months in advance. Last-minute arrangements (60 days and under) may result in high premiums or disappointment, particularly during peak periods.
