Sydney, Reef & Rainforest

This Australia itinerary is the perfect experience for nature lovers, combining a city break in Sydney with two of Australia's UNESCO-listed ecosystems: the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest.

From Sydney's glittering harbourfront and high-end restaurants in New South Wales, our Sydney, Reef & Rainforest holiday takes you to the country's far northeastern reaches and the region of Queensland. Here, our Travel Experts can place you on revealing excursions across the coral-abundant waters of the Great Barrier Reef, where snorkelling and scuba diving experiences bring you up close to the planet's most thriving marine ecosystem. You'll stay in Cairns, gateway to Queensland's environmental treasures, as well as on Hamilton Island, located amid the turquoise waters and bright-white beaches of the Whitsundays.

Then, you can delve deep into the primeval canopies of the Daintree Rainforest, staying at a remote jungle lodge hidden amongst the greenery. Kayak along jungle streams, the sounds and calls of myriad species resonating across the treetops above you, and trek through the dense foliage to spot diverse species including saltwater crocodiles, cassowaries and a plethora of bird species.
