Melbourne Tours and Trips

Melbourne is a city with surprises around every corner; discreet alleyways are home to renowned street art, quirky bars lie behind innocuous doorways, and the multiculturalism that gives zest to the city is celebrated in its festivals, museums, and most importantly – food! There’s a buzz of creativity and culture that permeates the city.

A great destination to stop over on an Australia tour, Melbourne is the events capital of the nation. For a dose of what Melbourne has to offer, here’s our pick of the best places to check out.

Perhaps the most iconic and memorable sight on Australia’s Great Ocean Road, the striated pinnacles of rock jutting out of the sea along the coast from Melbourne are a fitting testament to the natural beauty southern Australia has to offer. A roadtrip to 12 Apostles from Melbourne is a classic way to explore this area of coastline while on a tour to Australia.

Although only seven apostles can be seen today, a series of viewing platforms connected by wooden boardwalks wind their way around the cliff tops for the closest possible experience. Arrive as the sun sinks below the horizon and you’ll get not only phenomenal photographic opportunities, but also the chance to watch penguins returning from the waters after a day’s fishing to burrows beneath the main visitor lookout.

From the sun-scorched Outback and the ancient Daintree Rainforest to vibrant cities and breathtaking coastlines, Australia offers a world of adventure. This vast land, fringed with a golden coastline overlooking turquoise ocean waters, is home to stunning contrasts and unforgettable destinations. Some of the top places to visit in Australia include the Great Barrier Reef, Uluru, cosmopolitan Sydney, and the dramatic Twelve Apostles along the Great Ocean Road.
