Overnight flight, arriving the next day.
Private transfer to one of the best hotels in the city. A little away from the crowds, it borders Mindil's beach and is home to Darwin's casino. Local atmosphere and quality services guaranteed.
Collect the rental vehicle and make your way to Katherine, in the south. On the road - Less than two hours' drive from Darwin is Litchfield National Park, a magnificent example of the variety of landscapes and flora and fauna in the Australian Northern Territory. Less well-known than neighbouring Kakadu, Litchfield National Park is home to Florence Falls, Buley Rockhole, Wangi Falls and Walker Creek natural pools, which are all worth a visit and are excellent for a refreshing swim. After a good dip, you can observe abundant fauna, including the wallabies and wallaroos, as well as the magnetic termite mounds which are home to giant termites. Say overnight in a lodge with remarkable comfort, especially for this remote area of the Top End. Its views of the Katherine River Gorge are sublime, and its elegance owes as much to Aboriginal elements as to contemporary features.
Included in the itinerary - Dawn cruise through Nitmiluk Gorge to discover the region's wild beauty. Clear water and surface fog make for a truly spectacular sight. Drive to Kakadu, where you'll stay overnight in a simple but conveniently located lodge. Here you are on the Aboriginal lands of northern Australia. Kakadu is a vast national park that has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site both as a 'natural landscape' and as a 'cultural landscape'. To find out why, head straight to the very well thought-out Bowali Visitor Centre. Now co-managed by Aboriginals, the park is home to the country's largest collection of rock paintings, including Ubirr and Nourlangie Rock, proving that the site has been continuously occupied since prehistoric times. With successions of cliffs, deep forests and swamps, Kakadu is home to exceptional flora and fauna that can be explored on foot or by boat along the Yellow Water River.
Drive to Mary River National Park in the heart of the bush, for a different hotel experience; tents and cabins are spread out in a beautifully wild environment. Terraces provide panoramic views of the vast humid plains surrounding you, where you'll see plenty of kangaroos and other local wildlife. Included in the itinerary - Sailing on a billabong . On this cruise, you'll probably pass crocodiles, an amazing diversity of birds and an abundance of wildflowers. It's an entire living ecosystem that is constantly evolving.
Drive to Darwin and return your hire car before flying to Denpasar. Private transfer to Seminyak and accommodation at your hotel for three nights. Nestled in a quiet street while offering easy access to the beach, it boasts a sleek yet modern and traditional decor. Its central swimming pool and garden provide a good dose of the Balinese good life.
What to see and do - Grilling a fish you've chosen yourself on the beach, in Jimbaran for example; browsing the traditional markets of Denpasar; diving in Nusa Penida amid manta rays. Included in the itinerary - Private introduction to surfing. Head to Jimbaran, a popular seaside resort for surfers of all ages, including children. Its large golden sandy beach and regular waves make it an ideal playground for beginner surfers.
Private transfer to Ubud. The village, enchanting amid its rice fields, is a must-visit for any art lover. Galleries, workshops and museums are all part of the landscape here. Our favourite picks include the Puri Lukisan Museum, the Neka Art Museum and the Agung Rai Museum of Art. You'll stay for four nights at one of the city's finest hotels, set on the banks of the Ayung River, with its central building set amid the terraced rice fields. The spa offers quality services in an enchanting wooden setting straight from Java.
Included the itinerary - Ubud with a local guide. Accompanied by a local guide, you can 'experience Bali like a Bali resident'. They will tailor your tour to your interests, be that scenery, photography, fine arts, interior design, nature, cooking, culture, the list goes on. With your guide, discover the hidden beauties of the island, through its hiking paths and unfamiliar viewpoints, its street food, food markets, small shops and private craft workshops but also, meetings with artists, photographers and Balinese families. Optional - The Ubud countryside in a vintage convertible and a dining experience with a Balinese family.
