At a Glance
An incredible family friendly introduction to Australia.
Each destination allows you to discover a different side of Australia, from the rugged outback to the spectacular colours of the Great Barrier Reef.
Walking through the outback at Arkaba Station will help children appreciate the sheer scale of Australia.
The waters surrounding Hamilton island are a haven for snorkelling and diving.
Sydney is so spectacular, but children love it too - we can arrange surfing lessons at Bondi and even get them behind the scenes at Taronga Zoo, to get up close with the animals and learn more about the indigenous wildlife.

Best time to Visit
Good time to visit
Average time to visit
Any time is a good time to go to Singapore. Practically on the equator, Singapore is constantly warm (the temperature never drops below 20°C) and humid and gets fairly steady year-round rainfall. Australia is good to visit year round and this particular itinerary is best from April through to October. In the southern half of Australia the seasons are the opposite of those in the northern hemisphere: spring comes in September, summer is from December to February, autumn runs from March to May, and winter begins in June.
Sydney is great to visit year round but if you want warm sun and dry weather it is best to try between November and April. Their winter months of May - October usually have mild weather so you can still enjoy all the sights.
We design each itinerary around you, so this suggested itinerary is a starting point that we can tweak or transform into something completely bespoke to you. Call us on 020 3993 8476 to start planning your holiday.
