24 Days from Brisbane to Coral Coast

Animal lovers unite on this spectacular safari tour of Australia. From Brisbane's Australia Zoo, 'Home of the Crocodile Hunter,' to Alice Spring's Kangaroo Sanctuary, 'Home of the Kangaroo Dundee,' you'll get to know the most captivating creatures and characters who live down under. The furry fun continues with a hop over to Melbourne to witness Phillip Island's famous heart-warming Penguin Parade. Wombats and wallabies welcome you to the island state of Tasmania, as does the infamous Tasmanian devil-in its own unique way. Going below the surface, this in-depth tour of Australia also leads you to the marine life at the Great Barrier Reef, the whales, seals, and dolphins off the Tasman Peninsula, and the city and harbors of sunny Sydney.
