Australia Multisport
we don’t have to tell you there’s nowhere on earth like Australia. Not just desert and kangaroos, you’ll experience a land of flowing waterfalls, ancient aboriginal culture, the world’s top coral reef, and amazing wildlife found nowhere else on earth.
You’ve heard about Australia all your life: now is the time to see it for yourself! You’ll explore cosmopolitan Sydney with its iconic sites, jungle-draped canyons in Cairns, and a turquoise underwater universe at the Great Barrier Reef.
This active adventure captures the scenic gems of Sydney and wild Australia – attractive enough to be the whole trip, or a great focal trip for a longer adventure “down under.”
