Explore Australia’s Icons City to Coast

Your Australian adventure begins in Sydney, where a Cox and Kings representative greets you with warm hospitality and whisks you into your hotel. Settle into your premium room and take a moment to feel the harbour city’s first impressions!

As the evening sets in, board a sunset dinner cruise that sails gracefully through the iconic Sydney Harbour. Savour a delicious dinner while the skyline glows with gold and the Opera House and Harbour Bridge shimmer beautifully against the dusk.

Return to your hotel with the sea breeze still in your hair and settle in for a good night’s sleep, preparing for the mesmerising experiences ahead.

Start your morning with a generous buffet breakfast featuring local favourites alongside continental choices. Then, it’s time to choose between three of Sydney’s top attractions; dive into the underwater world at SEA LIFE Aquarium, meet native species at WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo  and take in sweeping views from the Sydney Tower Eye, or strike poses at Madame Tussauds!

By afternoon, you’ll enjoy a guided, behind-the-scenes tour of the Sydney Opera House, a UNESCO World Heritage site that’s as iconic inside as it is out. Walk through its grand halls, discover untold stories, and see the artistry that gives this landmark its global fame.

As the day winds down, gather for a delicious group dinner back at the hotel, swapping stories and laughter, before drifting away into a restful night in Sydney.

After a wholesome breakfast, get ready for a day of pure Australian wonder as you head toward the UNESCO-listed Blue Mountains. The air turns cooler, the views get wilder and soon you’re gliding above forest canopies on the Scenic Skyway, or riding the world’s steepest railway through misty valleys.

Continue to the Sydney Zoo and meet the icons of the outback; kangaroos, koalas, wallabies and learn about conservation efforts that protect Australia’s unique wildlife. It’s a hands-on experience that brings you closer to the country’s beating heart.

As evening falls, return to Sydney for a warm group dinner and a relaxed night with your travel companions. Share laughter and shared stories before capping the day off with a restful night’s sleep.

After a hearty breakfast, you’ll be chauffeured to Sydney Airport for your short flight to Melbourne, a city that is filled with creativity. Upon arrival, a Cox and Kings representative escorts you to your comfortable hotel. Settle in, relax and shake off the jet lag!

The afternoon is yours to explore Melbourne’s relaxing corners. Wander through Federation Square, stumble upon street art in hidden laneways, or simply grab a coffee that might just ruin all other coffees for you. Optional city tours are available for those who want to see more of this effortlessly cool metropolis.

In the evening, regroup with your fellow travellers for a wholesome dinner before retiring for a well deserved good night’s sleep, recharging for the adventures ahead.

Begin your morning with a wholesome breakfast before setting out on a guided tour of Melbourne’s icons. Visit the Parliament House, wander through the Fitzroy Gardens, and browse the Queen Victoria Market. A stroll through the city’s laneways and arcades reveals its artistic side before you unwind on a scenic Yarra River Cruise!

Later in the day, the adventure continues at Phillip Island, home to some of Australia’s most beloved wildlife. First, visit the Moonlit Sanctuary Conservation Park to meet koalas and wombats before witnessing the enchanting Penguin Parade; tiny penguins waddling home under a sunset sky.

In the evening, return to your hotel in Melbourne, enjoy a delicious dinner, before the city’s air lulls you into a peaceful night!

Start the day with a delicious breakfast and the promise of Australia’s most scenic drive. The Great Ocean Road runs along absolutely marvellous cliffs and beaches lined with eucalyptus trees. Stop in quaint coastal towns like Anglesea and Apollo Bay, and explore the true local life of the place.

Continue your journey through Great Otway National Park, where rainforest trails and the ocean’s mist merge into something dreamlike. The day’s grand finale as you drive towards the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge; towering limestone stacks that defy time and tide!

Return to Melbourne by evening, where dinner is served with a side of wonder in your hearts of the sights witnessed today. Take a moment to relax and reminisce about the experiences of the past few days, and drift into a good night’s sleep.

Enjoy one last breakfast in Melbourne with fresh coffee, flaky pastries, and that distinct feel of a city that never hurries. Take a moment to look around and savour how far you’ve come, from Sydney’s shimmering skyline to Victoria’s wild coast!

You’ll then be chauffeured to the airport with plenty of time for your onward flight. The schedule is unhurried; exactly as a farewell should be.

Great journeys never end, they aspire to inspire the next. Until next time…

Expertly yours.
