Why Choose a Luxury Vacation in Australia?

We specialize in creating authentic, people-to-people experiences and offering insider access to some of Australia’s most incredible destinations. Luxury vacations in Australia go far beyond iconic landmarks like Sydney, Uluru, and the Great Barrier Reef. The country’s true treasures are found in its vast wilderness, rugged outback, lush rainforests, billabongs, and remote islands. With a landmass nearly the size of the USA and a population under 8%, the opportunities for wilderness exploration are endless. Each of Australia’s six states and two territories presents unique landscapes and ways to experience them. 

Experiences on a Luxury Vacation in Australia

Australia offers an immersive cultural experience, from the ancient Dreaming stories and rock art of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to the vast landscapes of the Outback.

Explore South Australia on a safari-style tour or visit a working cattle station in the Northern Territory, where you can discover the land by horse, 4WD, or helicopter. Vibrant Sydney and Melbourne invite you to experience eclectic nightlife, hidden street art, and winding laneways.

For a peaceful escape, observe native wildlife as it moves through the bush. Australia’s Great Rail Journeys provide a luxurious way to explore the country’s rugged wilderness. These iconic train experiences are a highlight of many luxury vacations in Australia. They offer fine dining, refined service, and a chance to witness dramatic landscapes from the comfort of your private cabin, a perfect addition to luxury Oceania vacations.
