Located on Australia’s beautiful west coast is one of the country's best kept secrets: the untouched Ningaloo Reef Marine Park. A paradise for snorkellers and beach lovers alike, these calm protected waters are home to over 500 species of fish and are one of the best places on the planet to swim with the huge but harmless whale shark.

A spotter plane will locate the whale sharks for you, so get your snorkelling gear on and plunge into the ocean to observe these majestic giants up close. You may also spot dugongs, turtles and mantra rays cruising on the vibrant reef! 

Whale sharks can be spotted between April and July.

Ranked as one of the best drives in the world, the Great Ocean Road – which connects Melbourne in Victoria and Adelaide in South Australia – is truly remarkable. 

Famous for its magnificent coastline and the rocky majesty of the Twelve Apostles, the Great Ocean Road is best explored over a couple of days. There are plenty of idyllic overnight spots to choose from enroute; the charming fishing village of Port Fairy, the sweeping sands of Apollo Bay, or lovely Warrnambool where you can watch migratory whales off the coast between June and October.

A scenic drive inland will take you to the stunning Grampians National Park, a nature lover’s dream. Visit the impressive Mackenzie Falls or head up to the famous Reeds Lookout to bask in the vast beauty of the park from its highest point. Halls Gap, the gateway to the national park, is packed with wildlife: you’ll spot kangaroos, wallabies and curious emus wandering making their way through the town!

At the physical and spiritual heart of Australia lies the spectacular geological wonder known as Uluru.

Formerly known as Ayers Rock, Uluru is made of sandstone and is at its most stunning around sunrise and sunset, when the golden light makes the rock’s orange and red colours come alive.

Uluru is an incredible sight on its own, but its true beauty can be found by looking closer. This ancient monolith is home to rare plants and animals, important spiritual sites and caves painted with extraordinary rock art.

Uluru remains profoundly spiritual and sacred to the local Anangu people, who have lived here for more than 30,000 years, and is considered one of the most profound things to do in Australia.

The Great Barrier Reef is the biggest reef on earth. It’s comprised of hundreds of tropical islands and 3,000 individual reef systems teeming with colourful fish and larger marine life. 

Split geographically into the Northern Great Barrier Reef, the central Whitsunday Islands and the Southern Great Barrier Reef, each offers a unique experience and can be visited for the day, or overnight. Snorkelling and diving day trips are convenient and plentiful with boats either visiting the shallower inner reefs which surround the islands close to the mainland, or the deeper open water of the outer reef. 

Overnight stays can be on a tropical island resort, a comfortable sailing boat, or even a unique floating pontoon!

Treat your taste buds to world-class wines in South Australia’s Barossa Valley, one of the world's top wine growing regions.

When you’re not swirling, sipping and savouring your way around South Australia’s premium wine region, you can dine at renowned restaurants, explore the region by bicycle, or discover the beautiful nearby villages and national parks.

At nearly 20,000 square kilometres (approximately half the size of Sweden!), Kakadu in the Northern Territory is Australia’s largest national park. With ancient landscapes and the oldest living culture on earth, it’s an area of natural and cultural importance. 

On an outback adventure to Kakadu you'll find rugged escarpments, lush rainforests and rock art galleries that are tens of thousands of years old. Learn about Aboriginal culture, take in thundering waterfalls and witness millions of migratory birds among the wetlands. Cruise the Yellow Water Billabong, visit the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre or hike one of Kakadu’s many walking trails.

Perhaps Australia’s best kept secret, Tasmania’s natural beauty is simply spectacular, with the dramatic coastline of Freycinet National Park, lofty peaks of Cradle Mountain and one of the planet's last great wildernesses.

A fly drive holiday is perhaps the best way to discover this magical island. With a handful of easy to follow main routes, Tasmania is a perfect destination to be explored by car or motorhome. Take in the deserted beaches along the east coast, the rugged wilderness of the west, and must-see attractions including Wineglass Bay, Cradle Mountain, and the Bay of Fires.

Discover amazing wildlife on Kangaroo Island, Australia’s answer to the Galapagos. The country’s third largest island is a haven of natural beauty and sanctuary for native wildlife.
