Sydney, rock and reef

Overnight travel will bring you to Sydney Airport, where your adventure begins.

A 25-minute transfer will take you from Sydney Airport to the city’s Four Seasons Hotel. This unbeatable 5-star hotel lies a stone’s throw away from the city’s shops and business centre, so you can expect jaw-dropping views over the spectacular cityscape during your visit. On top of wandering around Sydney, you can chill by the pool in the hotel, get a spa treatment or work up a sweat in the gym.

One of our local tour guides will meet you in the lobby before taking you on a half-day tour around the buzzing city of Sydney. Visit iconic sites such as Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and Darling Harbour. On top of this, you will be visiting the heritage-listed Botanical Gardens and the fascinating Mrs Macquarrie Chair.

Today you will be taken on a Sydney Harbour Boat Tour, stopping at sights like the historic Quarantine Station. Examine the remarkable 19th-century Australian settlement and museum before cooling off with a swim in the water of the secluded cove. On the food front, you will be able to fill up on local delicacies at a waterfront cafe.

A chauffeur will collect you from the hotel lobby to take you to Sydney Airport for your flight to Ayers Rock Airport. Upon arrival, you will be met by a private driver who will bring you to the beautiful Voyages Sails in the Desert Hotel. Come dusk, prepare to be amazed by one of the famous Uluru sunsets, where a magnificent blend of colours take over the sky every night for your privilege.

You will set off to explore the glorious landscapes of Kata Tjuta and the Valley of the Winds. Accompanied by a guide, you will be led through the remarkable sandstone domes on a 7.5km walk that will teach you all about the fascinating history of the breathtaking scenery around you. In the evening, you will be served canapes and sparkling white wine.

Time to investigate the vibrant culture, incredible geology and remarkable environment of Uluru. Embark on a 14-km trek around the base of the spectacular monolith by jumping on a helicopter for a 36-minute ride. This exhilarating experience will take you high above the unique landscapes, offering an unparalleled view of the environment. Where better to snap the iconic view of Uluru and Kata Tjuta?

After a busy few days, relax and spend this day at leisure. Make the most of the wonderful hotel with a few laps in its cooling pool, grabbing a casual lunch and cocktail before sitting down to a brasserie-style feast at Ilkari Restaurant or an Indigenous-inspired cuisine in the Walpa Lobby Bar.

A transfer will take you to Ayers Rock Airport, where you will take a plane journey to Cairns. From there, you will be collected and transferred to the idyllic Thala Beach Nature Reserve near Port Douglas to relax and rest your head for the night.

A cruise boat will guide you along the glorious crystal-clear waters of the Barrier Reef. Spend the day exploring the abundant marine life and perusing the vibrant coral life in a memorable underwater adventure.

You will spend the next two days exploring Port Douglas at your own leisure. A pretty town on the Coral Sea, there is much to see and do in the area. If you fancy sticking to Australia’s glorious coastline, you can visit one of the many beach resorts. For those intrigued by the land wildlife scene, you may want to stop by Daintree National Park which is a fantastically bio-diverse rainforest.

On your final day, you will be collected from Thala Beach Nature Reserve and taken to Cairns Airport where you will begin your homeward journey and reminisce over your fantastic Sydney adventure.
