Check out some of our handpicked 14-day Australia itinerary ideas below.

Two weeks is just enough time to fully explore the island of Tasmania. Begin in the arty capital of Hobart and enjoy a flat white as you browse crafts and artisan foods at Salamanca Market before visiting the UNESCO-listed former convict settlement, Port Arthur. A treetop walk in the Huon Valley is a great introduction to Tasmania’s incredible forests. No trip to Hobart is complete without a visit to the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA). Leaving the city behind, travel to Freycinet National Park. Cruise along the park’s incredible coastline before visiting Wineglass Bay, a perfectly curved bay of powder white sand, sparkling turquoise and sapphire water. Further north, discover more of Tasmania’s coastal beauty at the Bay of Fires, where orange rocks make a stunning contrast to the white sand and vibrant blue sea. Head to the interior and explore the dramatic Cataract Gorge and try some of Tasmania’s finest wines in the Tamar Valley. Visit ‘The Nut’, an ancient nut-shaped volcanic plug before heading to Cradle Mountain to enjoy the postcard perfect views. Make an essential visit to a wildlife sanctuary to visit Tasmania’s most famous resident, the endangered Tasmanian Devil. Head to Strahan, gateway to the awesome beauty of Tasmania’s wild west coast. End your great Australian adventure with a steam train through the lush rainforest before returning to the buzz of Hobart. See all 14-day Australia tours.

One of Australia’s most iconic road trips includes covering the 2,600 kilometers (1,600 mile) east coast route, from tropical far north Queensland to Sydney. Cairns is the gateway to Queensland’s tropical wonders. Start in the Daintree Rainforest, home to saltwater crocs and cassowaries. At 180 million years, this UNESCO-listed natural wonder is the world’s oldest rainforest. You are also just a stone’s throw from the world’s largest living structure, the Great Barrier Reef. Follow the reef south to Airlie Beach, gateway to the beautiful Whitsunday Islands. Spend a day cruising the islands and stop at Whitehaven Beach, a seven kilometer stretch of pristine beach, one of the most famous beaches in Australia. Cross over into New South Wales and stop at the hippie haven of Byron Bay—a great place to take a surf lesson. Continue to the coastal community of Port Macquarie before turning inland for the beautiful Blue Mountains. Visit the mountain towns of Katoomba and Leura and don’t forget a photo stop at the iconic Three Sisters lookout. Back to the coast for the grand finale at Sydney!. Relax on Bondi Beach, see a show at the Opera House, catch the ferry to Manly or walk across the Harbour Bridge. See all tours to Australia.

Begin in the coastal outpost of Broome, famous for cultivating some of the world’s finest pearls. It’s straight into the interior and your first gorge is a beauty. Admire the 90 meter (300 foot) sheer cliffs of Windjana Gorge and keep your eyes peeled for freshwater crocodiles, or ‘freshies’ as they are locally called. As you continue to explore the Western Kimberley you’ll come across cascading waterfalls and cool, clear rock pools suitable for swimming. Spend your nights under the Southern Cross. With virtually no light pollution, you’re bound to get incredible starry skies. Accessible only by four-wheel drive, head deep into the Mitchell Plateau and enjoy a scenic helicopter flight over the landscape. El Questro Wilderness Park is a true oasis. Cruise on Lake Argyle at sunset. Perhaps the most iconic Kimberley attraction is the mysterious Bungle Bungle. Nestled deep in Purnululu National Park these remarkable rock formations were only known to local communities until the 1980s. Your outback adventure finishes with a stop in the gold rush town of Halls Creek. Stop at an Aboriginal Art Gallery before returning to Broome.

If you have a 2-week Australia itinerary plan that you need help putting together, reach out to our travel experts for a customized Australia trip.

With two weeks in Australia we suggest spending time exploring a single region. When exploring a single region, getting around is easier with excellent local train/tram connections or even car hire. If you really want to cover a couple of regions across the country, flights will be the most practical option. Plan a trip and budget accordingly. If you want to leave the hassle of planning out the trip, join a guided group tour or opt for a self-guided private tour of Australia. You can always reach out to our travel experts for a bespoke Australia tour that matches your requirements.
