This journey brings together some of Australia’s most memorable landscapes. With rolling vineyards, ancient outback, and sunlit coasts, this journey allows you to experience the country’s incredible wildlife and vintage wines.
Start in Adelaide, a relaxed city known for its markets, galleries, and great dining. Spend a day in the Barossa Valley, tasting wines among scenic vineyards before flying to Kangaroo Island, where sea lions rest on quiet beaches and wallabies hide among the eucalypts. Explore wild coastlines, picnic in nature, and see the Remarkable Rocks standing above the Southern Ocean.
Head into the Flinders Ranges, a vast and ancient landscape that tells the story of Australia’s outback. Then fly west to Perth, a laid-back coastal city filled with sunshine and creativity. Take a ferry to Rottnest Island, where cycling trails lead to hidden bays and the friendly quokka makes for an unforgettable local encounter.
Further north, stay at Sal Salis on the Ningaloo Coast, where coral reefs and desert dunes meet. Snorkel among tropical fish, spot whale sharks, and unwind beneath the stars. The trip ends in Margaret River, where vineyards, surf beaches, and local food producers define the region’s charm – the perfect finale to your Australian adventure.
Arrive in Adelaide and settle into the Mayfair Hotel, a boutique stay in the heart of the city. Explore nearby markets, gardens, and cafés before a full-day trip to the Barossa Valley to taste Australia’s best-known wines.
Fly to Kangaroo Island, a haven for native wildlife. Venture through bushland with a local guide, see sea lions up close at Seal Bay, and visit the Remarkable Rocks and Admiral’s Arch in Flinders Chase National Park. Return to Adelaide for a relaxed evening.
Drive into the outback to the Flinders Ranges, where rugged red peaks stretch across the horizon. Stay at Rawnsley Park Station and explore on guided walks or a scenic flight over Wilpena Pound. Learn about the land’s Aboriginal heritage and soak in the peaceful atmosphere of the Australian bush.
Fly west to Perth, where the city’s easy-going atmosphere and ocean views invite you to slow down. Stay at COMO The Treasury and explore Kings Park, the art galleries, or Cottesloe Beach at sunset.
Take a short ferry ride to Rottnest Island, a car-free paradise with clear waters and soft sand. Spend the day cycling between bays, snorkelling reefs, and meeting the island’s curious quokkas before staying overnight at Discovery Rottnest Island.
Fly north to Sal Salis, an eco-lodge nestled between desert and reef. Swim with whale sharks (seasonal), snorkel coral lagoons, or hike through Cape Range National Park. Evenings are for sunset drinks and dinners under the stars, surrounded by the sounds of the wilderness.
End your journey in the Margaret River, one of Australia’s best food and wine regions. Stay at Cape Lodge, visit local wineries and artisan producers, and explore nearby beaches and caves. A long lunch at Leeuwin Estate makes for a perfect final day before returning to Perth.
Travel back to Perth for your onward flight. As you leave, you’ll take with you a collection of landscapes and experiences that show the best of Australia – its nature, its food, and its easy sense of hospitality.
Charter a private superyacht on the outer Great Barrier Reef and dive the coral before the day boats arrive. Plan your luxury Queensland diving escape.
Arrange a private after-hours tour of MONA in Hobart, guided by a curator through the empty galleries. Plan your exclusive Tasmania art escape with DND.
Discover Kangaroo Island after dark with a private naturalist guide. Plan a luxury family wildlife escape into Australia's nocturnal wilderness with DND.
Greet the Uluru sunrise by private helicopter, then dine in the secluded dunes. Plan a luxury Red Centre morning in Australia's heart with DND.
