12 Days in Australia
Australia

Feb 22 - Mar 6, 2025
We spend a week and a half in Australia (Sydney, Port Douglas, and Melbourne) and everything was great. Our local specialist Vicky did a fantastic job. Our hotels were excellent. In one case, she reached out to us to let us know that the hotel we had originally booked was undergoing some construction and she suggested that we move. Her proactive work was much appreciated. Vicky also arranged city tours, a barrier reef excursion, a tour of the rainforest, and wine and nature tours for us. The vendors she chose were all great. Basically, everything went seamlessly and we had a great time. I would highly recommend Vicky for planning an Australia trip.
Activity Reviews
What a tremendous experience. We learned a lot, and the direct encounters with the animals exceeded our expectations. Importantly, these interactions were managed in a way that put the animals health and safety first.
Terrific trip with great guide. The nature beauty of the landscape was amazing. And our guide Chris did a fantastic job.
The reef speaks for itself, but the crew on the boat was amazing. They really looked out for everyone and made the trip special. One of the best snorkeling experiences we've had.
We saw the penguin parade, as well as the Koala habitat and pyramid rock. Our guide, Adam, did a great job taking us to the right places and spotting the local wildlife.
We visited four wineries. We also asked to visit a dairy farm and the tour company made that happen (it was nice to have a cheese break from the wine). We finished with a visit to the chocolate factory. It was a great trip.
We had a nice drive out to the blue mountains. There are some amazing views, but I am not sure that they were worth the time it took to get out there.
This was a nice way to see the city from the water. Very relaxing on a nice night. It is not a must do, but it was a cool way to see the city and the harbor.
Hi Matt
Thanks so much for your feedback. I am so glad you guys had a great time and enjoyed the accommodations and experiences. The wildlife habitat in Port Douglas is super special and I am especially pleased you had a great day on the reef and in the Daintree.
Thanks again for trusting me with your trip
Take care and All the Best
Vicky
