Holidays to Australia

Australia is a land of unmatched contrasts and iconic natural wonders, and with Riviera Travel, you can experience its vast beauty without compromise.

From the electric energy of Sydney and the Great Ocean Road's dramatic coastlines to the spiritual heart of the Outback at Uluru and the vibrant underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef, our holidays offer the deepest possible insight into the Land Down Under. We handle all the long-haul logistics—including direct flights and hand-picked hotels—so you can focus on adventure. Furthermore, our flagship Grand Tour of Australia has now launched a special Solo Traveller version for 2027, ensuring everyone can discover this extraordinary continent with expert guidance and unbeatable value. Book now with a deposit to secure your place on an unforgettable trip.

Australia is a  destination that has two very distinct sides. While Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth are modern metropolises full of culture, venture just a little out of the cities and you’ll find pockets of people in unique towns, surrounded by huge swathes of untouched and sparsely populated countryside, including vineyards, rainforest and beaches, as well as, of course, the vast deserts of The Outback.
