Nature & Wildlife Holidays

A holiday in Australia is truly a feast for all the senses with its vast wilderness, ancient landscapes and natural beauty best being described in colour; white sandy beaches, red sandy deserts, lush green forests and rich blue oceans.

Visit Australia and experience some of the world’s greatest natural wonders. Discover the Great Barrier Reef, an explosion of colour that stretches for 2,600 kilometres off the Queensland coast. Immerse yourself in the great outdoors in Kakadu National Park where rugged escarpments, lush wetlands, plunging gorges and cascading waterfalls exist side by side, just watch out for the crocodiles hiding on the banks of the rivers! Witness Mother Nature at her best every day at dusk on Phillip Island; the beach comes alive as thousands of little penguins come home after foraging for food in the ocean. Encounter kangaroos, sea lions, rare seals, platypus, koalas and many more unique native species in their natural environment on Kangaroo Island, just a short hop from the South Australian coast. Step back 60 million years into the Tasmanian rainforest, with 40 percent of the island protected as national parks you will never be far from unspoilt wilderness and vast pristine landscapes.

Head to Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia between March and June and swim with the whale sharks while these bus-sized creatures feed gently on the coral reef. Welcome to one of the most eco-diverse countries in the world!
