They say half the fun of an adventure is getting there, so embrace that idea as you head to the airport for your flight to Adelaide, which will take roughly 23 hours.
Departing from the UK in the afternoon you'll transit through Perth, the Middle East or a hub city in Southeast Asia on route.
After a culinary introduction to Australia, leave the Barossa Valley behind today and begin your introduction to the wilder side of the country. You'll start the journey by being privately transferred back to Adelaide airport, can then catch your 30-minute flight to Kangaroo Island and finish up with a short transfer to your new home, Southern Ocean Lodge. Perched on a cliff edge overlooking the rugged coastline below, Southern Ocean Lodge offers some of the most spectacular views on the island and is an incredibly luxurious base for your explorations.
Spend this afternoon on a guided coastal clifftop walk, looking down on Hanson Bay and learning about the various flora and fauna found just outside the lodge. There will then be an optional presentation at the lodge from the resident naturalist, before canapes, cocktails and a decadent dinner.
With a last breakfast on the clifftop, say goodbye to Southern Ocean Lodge and Kangaroo Island today as you are driven to the airport for a five-hour flight to Sydney. When you land in Sydney you'll be met by another of our ground team and driven in a private transfer two-and-a-half-hours out of Sydney, into the Wolgan Valley. Here you'll be staying at Wolgan Valley, a luxurious lodge set in 7,000 acres of private conservancy in the Great Dividing Range, near the famous Blue Mountains.
This afternoon, settle into your surroundings and enjoy a guided tour through the stables to meet some of the resident horses and help feed them. You could even take your new horse friends out for a ride on a scenic hack. Then, head back to the lodge for dinner with a view.
After several days surrounded by greenery find your way to the big city today as you are privately transferred two and a half hours to your city centre hotel. Arriving in time for lunch and a quick wander around the iconic harbour you'll then head over to the base of the harbour bridge for the twilight bridge climb. A real once in a lifetime experience and the most amazing way to see the Opera House and the surrounding city, the bridge climb is one of our favourite Australian activities. Kitted up in all the gear you'll ascend the arch of the bridge as the sun sets and arrive at the top just in time to see the light fade and the city lights tart to twinkle - a truly spellbinding sight.
Having made your way down from the bridge, continue the evening of special experiences with dinner at the Opera House restaurant - we can book in advance to ensure you don't miss out on a table.For those without a head for heights, we can arrange for you to head over to Bondi to watch the surfers, walk the iconic coastal trail to Coogee or stroll through the Botanical Gardens to Mrs Macquarie's Chair.
