Venture Down Under—Where Wild Beauty Meets Vibrant Culture
From cosmopolitan harbors to the edge of the Earth, this journey through Australia and Tasmania blends the best of city life with the awe of the untamed. We begin in Sydney, where coastal cliffs, golden beaches, and nearby rainforest-filled national parks frame one of the world’s most iconic skylines.
Then it’s off to Tasmania—a remote island where ancient wilderness and rare wildlife collide in spectacular fashion. Hike to the summit of Cradle Mountain, kayak the turquoise waters of Coles Bay, and wander through timeworn towns rich with colonial charm. Here, towering cliffs meet misty rainforests, and every trail offers a glimpse into the raw, untouched spirit of the land.
Tasmania also tempts the taste buds with award-winning wines, fresh-from-the-sea delicacies, and artisanal treats—from truffles to whisky, abalone to saffron. We’ll wrap up our adventure in eclectic Hobart, home to bustling markets, creative cuisine, and the world-famous Museum of Old and New Art (MONA). Whether you’re here for the wild, the wonder, or the wine—Australia’s southern edge delivers it all.
