Unique Australian Adventures

Australia is a destination that's probably pretty high on most people's travel bucket lists. From airborne adventures to treks across striking landscapes and countless diving opportunities, not to mention the infamous wildlife and landmarks, this is without a doubt one spectacular country that begs to be explored. However, we know that the vastness of Australia (it's the 6th largest country in the world) and the thought of a long journey to get there can often scare people away. A classic case of too much to see, too little time. Well, not any more. We've found a way of making the most of all that this country has to offer on a variety of two week adventures. On our site you'll find a range of 14 day itineraries that together cover 14 unique Australian experiences. Here's a sneak peak of some of the experiences on offer, a little teaser if you will, to show why Australia is a firm Black Tomato favourite.

Unique Australian Adventures

Dine at Uluru(01 of05)

Deep in the heart of the outback is the astounding Uluru, home to the magnificent Ayers Rock. You really don’t get a more quintessential Australian landscape than this. Vast plains of shrubs and emerald grasses unfold as far as the eye can see, that’s if you can tear your eyes away from the mighty red rock itself. A landscape so intriguing and beguiling, this is no pit-stop tourist attraction; you really have to experience it to get to the soul of this magical place.We’ll have you dining alongside this incredible natural wonder, where you will feast on the delectable delights of crocodile, kangaroo and barramundi. Watch the infamous changing colours of the Uluru as the sun sets, casting dramatic rays of warm red light across the terrain. As the night sky sets in and the heavens explode with a blanket of twinkling stars, you’ll spend the night under this magnificent canopy listening to an aboriginal storyteller regale you with mystical tales of the constellations, zodiac signs and galaxies. You’ll leave feeling imbued with a deeper spiritual connection to this awe-inspiring secluded soul of Australia.

Dive with Whale Sharks(02 of05)

This sublime coral reef fringes the north western coast of Australia. A pristine sliver of white sands lapped by bright azure waters shelter this iridescent phenomenon, an ultimate oasis of paradise. On this incredible experience plunge below the surface and you’ll be met by unparalleled sights that will leave you absolutely lost for words (a good thing too, since you are underwater). Take away some amazing memories of this kaleidoscopic reef teeming with stunning marine life and a plethora of unusual and ethereal plant life.Needless to say, humans are not the ones dominating these crystalline waters. You’ll get the chance to swim alongside the almighty whale sharks as they glide effortless past you, opening their colossal mouths to feed on plankton, krill and small fish, whilst turtles and manta rays dart around playfully. This ocean experience is peaceful yet mind-blowing.

Four Wheel Drive Discovery(03 of05)

Back on land now and on to the iconic landscape of Flinders Ranges. Despite being a world away from the rush of city life, this secluded oasis has its own wonderful energy and vibrancy that you can’t help but embody. For those who like to live in the fast lane, take an intrepid 4X4 tour of the area. Bear witness to the dramatic landscapes, knife-edge peaks, sheer drops and dramatic creeks and gorges punctuated with deep, rich colours of terracotta, red and green. The views from the highest peaks are utterly breath-taking, giving you a panoramic experience of the authentic Australian landscape.

Peninsula Hot Springs(04 of05)

Just 90 minutes from Melbourne lies the coastal beauty of the Mornington Peninsula. A paradisical wonder in itself, this peninsula is also home to another treasure; the Peninsula Hot Springs. Get to the core of Australia, quite literally, with a visit to these naturally occurring geothermal phenomena. These hot springs are the perfect respite for the urban explorer to unwind and revitalise.Nestled amongst a luscious, verdant backdrop, Peninsula Hot Springs offer over 20 different experiences for you to try, from Turkish steam rooms, cave pools, mineral showers to a stunning hill top pool that offers a panoramic view over the magnificent undulating scenery. These hot springs are the perfect unity of nature and luxurious elegance, the ideal spot to refresh mind, body and soul with an added cultural flourish.

A Night at the Opera House(05 of05)

No tour of Australia would be complete without a visit to the Sydney Opera house. This performing arts centre, designed by Danish architect Jorn Utzon, is one of the world’s most celebrated architectural designs and of course an iconic symbol of Australia. Rising magnificently from the harbour, the swooping sail-like structure houses a plethora of world class shows for you to enjoy, making it a true cultural hub that has something for everyone.By day, enjoy walking around the harbour and sit down for a mouth-watering pre-show dinner at any one of the gourmet restaurants in the area. Take some time to admire the stunning panoramic views of the harbour and the grand harbour bridge. By night the harbour takes on a magical presence; resplendently lit up, lights twinkle on the water and the Opera House stands illuminated and proud against the cityscape. A wonderful fusion of urban beauty and that vibrant Australian charm.
