ACCOMMODATED: Venture into the Top End on a 2-day trip from Darwin, taking in Kakadu’s wetlands, Aboriginal rock art at Nourlangie, and a Yellow Water sunset cruise. A Bush Tucker Walk and visits to cultural centres offer a glimpse into First Nations traditions, while cosy stays and stops, such as the Humpty Doo Hotel, add local flavour.

I loved everything about the soloish Australia trip from the itinerary to the exceptional guides including our main guide Daisy, our Central Australia guide Tye, and our French Island guide.

Absolute banger of a time! I've always wanted to go to Australia for many years now and going with Contiki, especially with on the North Queensland to Uluru, was totally worth it! I couldn't speak for the sailing version of the trip, but the land stay in Airlie beach was really a nice bit. I would recommend going in the drier seasons because it rained and was quite windy during our stay in Queensland but nonetheless, a really exciting opportunity for everyone. If it's your first time going to Australia like it was for me, this is absolutely the trip to go, as you'll be seeing the natural highlights of the continent!
