Sydney Harbour Bridge – Enjoy stunning views of Sydney from the “coat hanger” bridge that spans the bay and connects the central city district with the North Shore. The perfect blend of form and function, it is the tallest steel-arch bridge and the widest long-span bridge in the world, creating a unique vantage point from which to take in what is arguably Australia’s most famous city.

Sydney Opera House – Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2023, there are few buildings quite as iconic as the Sydney Opera House, with its curved white sails that pierce the skyline. Marvel at the modern 20th-century architecture from the outside, then delight in a full concert inside, be that operatic performance, ballet, or live theater. Combine your visit with a taste of modern Australian dining at the harborside destination of choice, Bennelong.

Great Barrier Reef – Take in the Great Barrier Reef from the sky on a scenic flight tour over the Queensland coast or glide via a catamaran cruise over the crystal-clear waters where you’ll also gain insights and hear stories from an onboard marine biologist. Whether you prefer to go snorkeling amongst the reef or stay dry and get a closer look in the underwater chamber, there’s a mesmerizing mix of marine life to behold, including the bright anemone, unicorn fish, and even sea turtles.

Bondi Beach – Considered to be the jewel of Sydney, Bondi Beach goes hand-in-hand with the laid-back lifestyle. Explore the idyllic beach community in the suburb and make footprints as you stroll along the golden sands, then, if you time your adventure right, you may catch one of the many festivals or events that bring the area to life.

Uluru (Ayers Rock) – With the sun setting as you drive out on an excursion to Uluru, you’ll notice the unmistakable red glow coming from Ayers Rock. Get up close to the sacred sandstone monolith and stand in awe of its sheer size. Part of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, immerse yourself in the art, music, and tradition closely associated with the region.

Kakadu National Park – Take a cruise tour out to Kakadu National Park and explore the incredible, sprawling national park that features waterfalls, lush rainforest, and Aboriginal rock art — a glimpse into a past being kept alive today. As a tropical territory in the north, experience natural landscapes like no other and glimpse an array of majestic animals, from exotic birdlife to ancient saltwater crocodiles.

Brisbane’s Australia Zoo – Encounter a whole host of creatures, large and small, as you learn about Sumatran tigers, red pandas, Komodo dragons, koala bears, and the giant Aldabra tortoise. It’s a full day of fun and a truly enriching educational experience for families.
