Experiences of a lifetime

This is a journey unlike any other, revealing Australia's dynamic cities, timeless landscapes, and unforgettable natural wonders – and you'll be transported in luxury by private jet, connecting each extraordinary region with comfort and ease. Explore Australia's Golden Triangle, beginning with Melbourne's Victorian elegance, hidden laneways, and thriving arts scene; the spiritual heart of Ayers Rock, the kaleidoscopic beauty of the Great Barrier Reef; and an in-depth exploration of Sydney's coastal icons. 

Embark on an extraordinary journey through Australia, beginning in the fabulous city of Melbourne. Known for its chic laneways, historic architecture, and a world-renowned coffee culture, Melbourne offers a unique blend of urban sophistication and relaxed charm. From the hidden laneways and street art of Melbourne, journey into the heart of Australia, flying to the spiritual landscapes of Uluru, where sunset views and a guided walk reveal its sacred significance. In Port Douglaas, experience the wonder of the Great Barrier Reef, with sightseeing choices that let you explore this natural marvel as you please. Conclude in Sydney, where iconic landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and a private harbor cruise create the perfect finale to your Australian adventure – a blend of cultural insights, natural beauty, and unforgettable moments for a journey that reveals the soul of Australia.

Champagne and canapés at Uluru

A sunset experience that's unforgettable

As the sun sets over Uluru, watch the desert's fiery hues shift to twilight while enjoying expertly crafted cocktails. The stillness of the Outback and the iconic silhouette create a mesmerizing backdrop, blending natural splendor with indulgence. It's a moment of quiet connection to Australia's heart, perfectly paired with a toast.

Tasting your way through Sydney

A "Foodie Tour" sampling some of Sydney's coolest eats

A knowledgeable local guide leads the way on a "Taste of Sydney" foodie tour that celebrates the multicultural heritage of the city and its gastronomic legacy – including seafood at a fish market, beer tasting at a brewery, samplings of savories, sweets and more.

Cruise to the Outer Great Barrier Reef

Aquatic fun at the Agincourt Reef

A high-tech catamaran whisks you out to the Outer Great Barrier Reef – to the Agincourt Reef, at the very edge of Australia's Continental Shelf, to be exact – where you'll explore and enjoy this remarkable natural UNESCO World Heritage Site. Swim or snorkel over vast coral gardens, seeing (and swimming with, if you choose to) thousands of colorful fish.
