Explore Adelaide and Kangaroo Island before embarking on a three-night luxury rail journey aboard The Ghan, travelling from Adelaide, South Australia, to Darwin, Northern Territory, through Australia's vast interior landscapes.
Though this epic Australia tour also takes you to Adelaide, Kangaroo Island, and Darwin, it is unquestionably the three-night journey aboard The Ghan - one of the world's great rail adventures - that takes centre stage.
On this luxury Australia holiday, you'll experience the contrasts of South Australia and the Northern Territory, transitioning between the two while traversing the sun-scorched Red Centre aboard The Ghan. You'll begin in Adelaide, where elegant boulevards, acclaimed restaurants, and celebrated wine regions provide a gentle introduction to Australian culture.
From Adelaide, you'll travel to Kangaroo Island, home to a rugged coastline and the penguin colonies, kangaroos, and koalas of Flinders Chase National Park. Returning to Adelaide, you'll board The Ghan for one of the world's legendary rail routes.
While travelling on The Ghan to Darwin in Australia's Top End, you'll spend three nights passing through the vast Australian interior, experiencing onboard luxury as the immense landscapes unfold beyond the windows of your private cabin or elegantly adorned dining carriage, gradually shifting from rolling vineyards to the endless ochre desert of the Outback. During the journey, you'll stop to enjoy off-train excursions, visiting frontier settlements, Alice Springs, Nitmiluk Gorge, and the opal mining town of Coober Pedy.
Arriving in tropical Darwin, your journey concludes amid vibrant waterfront dining, rich Indigenous culture, and the gateway to Australia's spectacular Top End. Our Travel Experts can arrange a selection of curated excursions and advise you on what to do in the Top End. From hiking the canyon-carved terrain of Kakadu National Park, home to 2,000 plant species, saltwater crocodiles, and prehistoric Aboriginal rock art; to canoeing between the sheer rockfaces of Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk National Park - their personal experience can help shape your Top End adventure.

South Australia's capital, Adelaide is a city where grand boulevards, heritage architecture and serene parklands create one of Australia’s most refined urban landscapes.
Renowned for its exceptional food and wine scene, Adelaide pairs acclaimed restaurants, artisan markets and designer boutiques with a relaxed pace that invites leisurely exploration.
Beyond the city centre, world-famous wine regions like Barossa Valley offer gourmet cellar door experiences and winery tours, while pristine beaches and the rolling Adelaide Hills are all within easy reach, making it an ideal base for discovering South Australia’s diverse landscapes.
Our experts have delved deep into South Australia's charm, and can suggest a number of revealing excursions for you to add to your luxury Australia holiday. Speak to one of them to elevate your holiday with an unforgettable experience.
From Adelaide you'll travel to Kangaroo Island, a journey of about two to three hours including a ferry. Kangaroo Island is one of Australia’s most pristine island destinations, renowned for its dramatic coastal scenery, iconic Australian wildlife, and unspoilt natural beauty.
Rugged cliffs, secluded beaches and ancient bushland create a wild landscape where kangaroos, koalas, sea lions, penguins, and native birdlife thrive in a natural habitat.
Close enough and yet seemingly far removed from the South Australia mainland, the island offers a sense of tranquillity that rewards slow exploration. Alongside its spectacular scenery and wildlife, Kangaroo Island is also known for its exceptional local produce, from fresh seafood and artisan cheeses to premium wines and craft spirits.
You'll embark on an extraordinary three-night rail journey aboard The Ghan, Australia's iconic luxury train, while staying in a comfortable private cabin.
The journey from Adelaide to Darwin is one of the world's great rail adventures, traversing almost 3,000 kilometres through the remote heart of Australia. Departing Adelaide, the train glides through the rolling vineyards of South Australia before entering the vast, ochre-hued landscapes of the Outback, where dramatic mountain ranges, ancient gorges and endless desert plains unfold beyond The Ghan's panoramic windows.
As the journey continues north, a series of immersive off-train experiences brings Australia's remote interior to life, from exploring the striking landscapes of the Flinders Ranges and the outback town of Alice Springs to discovering the spectacular red cliffs of Katherine Gorge. On board, elegant cabins, regionally inspired cuisine and attentive service create an atmosphere of effortless comfort, ensuring the journey is every bit as memorable as the destination.
Arriving in tropical Darwin, you'll have experienced an unforgettable cross-section of Australia, from its sophisticated southern cities to its wild and untamed northern frontier.
Darwin is Australia’s vibrant tropical capital, where waterfront dining, rich Indigenous heritage and spectacular natural landscapes combine to create a destination unlike any other.
Set on the shores of the Timor Sea, the city offers a relaxed atmosphere, with lively markets, stylish restaurants and picturesque harbourside promenades framed by year-round sunshine. Darwin is also the gateway to some of the Northern Territory’s most remarkable wildernesses, from the sprawling wetlands and rugged canyons of Kakadu National Park to the cascading waterfalls and swimming holes of Litchfield National Park.
Whether sampling fresh seafood at a waterfront restaurant, discovering Aboriginal art and culture or watching the sun set over the harbour, Darwin offers a captivating blend of tropical charm, outdoor adventure and laidback city sophistication.
