Australian Explorer with Teens, Travel with Teens
An unforgettable adventure Down Under often tops the Holiday wish-list for many families. In addition to the abundance of stunning beaches, the many iconic experiences to be shared include snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, witnessing sunset in the Red Centre, marvelling at the wildlife of Kakadu National Park, even climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Opt for a stop over in Asia en-route and perhaps North America on your return and you can even create your own Round-The-World Trip!
Upon arrival in to Sydney take your transfer to your chosen hotel for 4 nights. Take a Captain Cook Harbor Cruise to get a sense of the City, whilst attractions to explore include Taronga Zoo, the famous bridge and opera house and beaches at Bondi. Day trips to enjoy include a 4WD Wildlife Tour to the Blue Mountains (including the chance to cuddle a koala!) and taking the Ferry to Manly for a surfing lesson before chilling out at one of the beach cafes!
Set off on your flight to Brisbane (approx 1 hour) and collect your hire car and drive to Noosa (approx 1.5 hours) on Queensland's Sunshine Coast where you will stay near the beach for 4 nights. Nearby you can meet koalas in the coastal rainforest of Noosa National Park, visit Australia Zoo and take part in a 4WD off-roading adventure on Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the World.
Fly back to Brisbane and take your short flight to Hamilton Island for 4 nights, host to a variety of accommodation from ultra luxurious hotels to convenient apartments. From here you can snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef and take a sailing trip to visit Whitehaven Beach, renowned for its startling white sands.
On your departure day, take your flight back to Sydney to connect with your international flight home via Asia / Middle East / North America.

Within Australia we highly recommend considering a trip to Kakadu National Park, perhaps for a camping safari to meet the indigenous wildlife and learn more about the Aboriginal culture. The Red Centre, home to Uluru (Ayers Rock) may be hard to reach but is also very rewarding, whilst a Farm Stay or visit to the rainforests of Cape Tribulation also offer unique experiences. If time allows, a stop over in Singapore in either direction offers a great deal for families with exciting leisure activities including Universal Studios, the Night Zoo and new River Safari, as well as the opportunity to enjoy a slice of a different culture.
