A trip onboard the Skyrail carries you high over the forest canopy on your way back to Cairns.

Historic Sydney greets visitors with its sparkling harbour, iconic HarbourBridge, and the unforgettable Sydney Opera House. Your guided tour takes you to the Opera House, Botanical Gardens and famous BondiBeach for a taste of Australia’s most diverse city.

An included day trip to the Blue Mountains will inspire you with spectacular views over the JamisonValley, where the famous Three Sisters gaze out over breathtaking waterfalls and hundreds of walking tracks.
