All About Australia & Pacific
Sure, the flight down under is long, but the stunning natural beauty and vibrant local cultures of Australia and the Pacific Islands are well worth the trip.
If you only have a short time to explore Australia, start in Sydney. Known for its laidback lifestyle, the Emerald City boasts two of the most recognizable structures in Oz: the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. After you visit both landmarks, delve into local culture by admiring the buffed bods on Bondi Beach, taking an Aboriginal cultural cruise, or braving a ghost tour of The Rocks.
The other don't-miss stop on your Australia vacation is the Great Barrier Reef. The only living structure visible from outer space, this world wonder off the coast of Queensland has been dazzling nature lovers for generations. Use cities like Cairns or Port Douglas as your home port and book a snorkel safari to explore this underwater jungle.
Need a little downtime? Add a side-trip to the Pacific Islands to your Australia vacation package. In exotic locales like Tahiti and Fiji, beach-lovers can revel in day after day of sun-drenched fun, sample local cuisine, and walk in the steps of famous travelers of the past like Paul Gauguin.
