Australia is the kind of destination that redefines your sense of what travel can be. A continent-country of staggering scale and diversity — where one week you’re snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef, the next you’re watching fairy penguins waddle ashore at sunset, and the day after you’re standing on the rim of an ancient blue-hazed valley where the Three Sisters rise from a eucalyptus forest.
Our Australia Grand Tour — 10 Nights 11 Days — is the definitive Australia holiday package from India, covering four of the continent’s most iconic destinations: Sydney, Cairns, Melbourne, and Gold Coast. In Sydney, explore the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and Bondi Beach. Fly to Cairns for the once-in-a-lifetime Great Barrier Reef snorkelling experience and a walk through the world’s oldest rainforest. Melbourne awaits with its legendary coffee culture, street art laneways, and the breathtaking Great Ocean Road. End on the Gold Coast with sun, surf, and the golden ease that Australia does so well.
This Australia tour package includes domestic flights between all cities, 4-star hotels, daily breakfast, all guided city tours, Great Barrier Reef cruise, Blue Mountains, Great Ocean Road, Daintree, and the Phillip Island Penguin Parade — making it the most comprehensive and best-value Australia tour available from India.

This is one of the great travel experiences on Earth. Board a high-speed catamaran to the Great Barrier Reef — the world's largest coral reef system (2,300 km long, visible from space).

Australia's seasons are opposite to India's. September to November (Australian spring) and March to May (autumn) are ideal — pleasant temperatures across all cities, calm seas at the Great Barrier Reef, and active wildlife. Avoid December to February in northern Queensland (wet season) for Daintree and Cairns; these months are great for Sydney and Melbourne.
