Explore Australia with a new 12-day, 11-night itinerary from Extraordinary Journeys. This carefully crafted tour blends city life, pristine wildlife, culinary discovery and iconic Outback landscapes, taking travelers from Sydney’s vibrant neighborhoods to the wild beauty of Kangaroo Island, the renowned wineries of the Barossa Valley and the dramatic Flinders Ranges.
Small-group excursions and private guides provide an authentic, insider’s view of Sydney’s most stylish and historic districts. Guests will stroll through colorful streets, learn local stories, and discover the cultural highlights that make Sydney unique.
On Kangaroo Island, the focus is on untouched nature and abundant wildlife. Travelers can expect close encounters with native species and memorable coastal scenery. The Barossa Valley segment pairs gourmet food and wine with a vintage 1962 Daimler drive, offering a timeless, elegant way to sample the region’s celebrated vineyards and produce.
For a contrast in landscapes and experience, the itinerary includes an African-style Outback safari at Arkaba Station in the Flinders Ranges, where rugged red country, dramatic gorges and expansive skies create an unforgettable backdrop for wildlife viewing and guided exploration.
Optional extensions and timed events are available to enrich the trip: visitors can add the Adelaide Festival, which takes place in the first half of March; Vivid Sydney, held in late May and early June; or Dark Mofo in Tasmania during mid to late June. Additional extensions include stays in Wolgan Valley, Lizard Island or at Uluru for those who wish to broaden their Australian experience.
The Vibrant Neighborhoods, Culture and Wildlife of Sydney and Southern Australia itinerary is priced at $9,850 per person. The package includes domestic transfers and flights within Australia, all meals and beverages at Southern Ocean Lodge and Arkaba Station (and at select locations), a surfing lesson at Manly or Bondi Beach, and a rental car for days six through ten. This comprehensive arrangement ensures travelers experience a wide range of Australia’s natural and cultural offerings with comfort and convenience.
