At a glance...

Start in Melbourne, a city known for its design, food, and energy. Explore with a private guide, discovering local artisans, boutique galleries, and small producers who give the city its creative edge. Enjoy memorable meals at acclaimed restaurants, or spend a day in the Yarra Valley visiting boutique vineyards and meeting the people behind some of Australia’s most distinctive wines.

Next, fly by private helicopter to Kangaroo Island, where sweeping cliffs, eucalyptus forests, and untouched beaches set the stage for an unforgettable wilderness experience. Stay at a secluded eco-lodge and spend your days exploring with local guides — spotting kangaroos, koalas, and sea lions, or landing by helicopter for a picnic in one of the island’s remote landscapes. Evenings bring chef-prepared dinners and stargazing under clear southern skies.
