Holidays to Australia

Explore

Australia is a country of icons; Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, Uluru, the Great Barrier Reef, Steve Irwin, Dame Edna Everage… the list goes on.

Not forgetting koalas and kangaroos and all of the other wildlife that are endemic to this vast, continent-sized country!

It’s also 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.

Unbeatable value, which always includes

  • Direct flights and transfers
  • Insightful excursions & visits with local guides
  • All additional hotel taxes
  • Hand-picked hotels in the best locations
  • Breakfast each morning, plus select other meals
  • Expert Riviera Tour Manager looking after you throughout
  • Checked luggage
