Luxury Australia Itinerary

Grandeur Down Under

Australia is a vast island, country, and continent surrounded by the Indian, Pacific, and Southern oceans. The world’s sixth largest country, it has a landmass of almost eight million square kilometres and 34,000kms of coastline

This sheer size, as well as the diversity of its awe-inspiring sights, its people and culture, make Australia a must-visit destination like nowhere else on Earth. Home to often surreal and always breathtaking landscapes, Australia boasts stunning beaches, reefs and islands, lush rainforests, snowy mountain ranges and some of the finest wine regions on the planet. And then there’s The Outback, a vast and sunburnt terrain covering much of the country’s colossal interior

But of course, this immense island is also home to some incredibly cosmopolitan and culturally progressive cities. From Sydney’s beach life and architectural highlights to Melbourne’s cool bars and art scene – food, film and festivals are big on Australians’ agenda.  

While our Australia itinerary explores the north-east of Australia, moving from the Northern Territory down through Queensland, it’s also a great launching point if you’re thinking of visiting other parts of the country.  

Starting in Darwin for private guided tours of Litchfield and Kakadu national parks, you’ll then join a safari to discover the spectacular natural scenery of Arnhem Land. You’ll head to Queensland for the latter part of the trip to explore the Daintree National Park from every perspective – breathtaking scenic flights, forest hikes with local Aboriginal guides, and floating through its stunning waterways, swimming, snorkelling, canoeing and fishing.

CULTURAL FACT

Unchanged for millennia, Arnhem Land offers a unique view of Aboriginal life. Established as an Aboriginal Reserve in 1931, it’s upheld by the Yolngu people, preserving their distinct culture.

Itinerary Highlights

Private Tour Litchfield Park

Get off the beaten track and learn about the culture and history of this area with a local Aboriginal guide. Discover the magnificent scenery, local Aboriginal people’s connection with the land and the traditional uses of plants and animals for food and medicine. Enjoy a picnic lunch, while relaxing and taking in the lush forest surroundings before a rejuvenating swim at the heavenly Florence Falls.

Private Tour Kakadu National Park

Starting at Fogg Dam Reserve an important feeding and roosting site for a wide variety of water birds and other wildlife, you’ll go on to visit the beautiful Leaning Tree Lagoon, a popular stop for photographers. Then it’s on to Maguk Gorge, a natural wonder of crystal-clear water surrounded by towering rock walls, the ideal place to enjoy a refreshing swim in paradise as the sun begins to set.

Day exploring Arnhem Land

Visit this sacred Aboriginal site, nestled against the Arnhem Land escarpment, its rugged ranges, fringed by idyllic billabongs, floodplains, paper bark swamps and monsoonal rain forests. The area is still owned and managed by its traditional custodians, the Amurdak people, whose inhabitation of the area dates back 50,000 years. While here, you can enjoy a range of activities, from viewing Aboriginal art to fishing and a billabong cruise.

Activities at Bamurru Plains

Inspired by the luxury camps of Africa, this exclusive lodge offers a prolific wildlife experience with access to Airboat trips on the floodplains and the extraordinary teeming wildlife, crocodile river-cruises, 4WD safaris exploring savannah bush and plains, and fishing tours (additional charges apply) – the property is known for the quality of its barramundi fishing.

Unseen-Daintree Heli Experience

After a breathtaking flight over this remote and beautiful landscape, you’ll land at Yindilli Campsite for freshly cooked damper and homemade jams with Kuku Yalanji elder CJ. Take a rainforest walk as CJ shares his story and traditional knowledge, before heading back up into the skies for views of the Daintree meeting the reef. Finally, get fitted with snorkelling gear for a new view as you drift gently down the river and watch the aquatic life pass beneath.

Activities at Silky Oaks Lodge

There are endless options to explore the diversity of the surrounding region at Silky Oaks Lodge. A Dreamtime walk at Mossman Gorge with Kuku Yalanji Traditional Owners, snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef or seeing traditional hunting techniques at Cooya Beach.
