Australia tour reviews

Not a moment wasted learning about Australia, bonding with everyone and checking off over half my bucket list in under a month.

Kelsey

Ultimate Australia

I would highly recommend the Kakadu dreaming tour. The tour guide and bus driver were amazing!!

Ellymay

Kakadu Dreaming

Way beyond my highest expectations – so many people had recommended Contiki to me. As I had never solo-traveled before, I was a little nervous… but now I never want to stop exploring the world with them!

Top food in Australia

Chicken Parma

Chicken parmigiana - chicken schnitzel with tomato sauce, mozzarella and parmesan - is Australia’s national dish and you’ll see it on any Australian pub menu. Goes great with an Aussie shiraz!

Kangaroo

Unsurprisingly, kangaroo meat is big in Aus. The lean protein can be enjoyed as a stacked burger or juicy steak and is a must-try for hungry carnivores.

Barramundi

The Aussies’ take on fish and chips typically features grilled or deep-fried Barramundi. A delicate, crispy-skinned fish that’s great for lunch or dinner.

Tim Tams

Sweet-toothed travellers should 100% try Australia’s ‘fave chocolate biscuit’ (biscuit = cookie). A great pick-me-up snack for those more active days on your Australian holiday.

Pavlova

The nation’s national dessert (as long as you don’t ask the kiwis), Pavlova is a dreamy mountain of meringue, whipped cream and fresh fruit. Yum.

Top museums in Australia

Australian Museum, Sydney

Founded in 1827, this is the oldest museum in Aus. Packed with preserved wildlife and fossils, aboriginal archaeology and tons of stuff on coral reefs, you can easily lose yourself here for a whole day. A must-visit on any Australian tour, it offers a deep dive into the country's rich natural and cultural history.

Melbourne Museum

The biggest museum in the Southern Hemisphere boasts 600 million years of natural history. A complete whale skeleton and movie screenings in IMAX make for a fun way to get a bit of culture in your downtime.

South Australian Museum

Adelaide’s impressive 5-storey museum is home to the world’s biggest collection of Aboriginal artefacts, with over 4 million objects on display. A real treat for history fans on our Australia tours.

The Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory

Located on Larrakia Land in Darwin, this place is the ultimate guide to all that unique flora and fauna of Central Australia. There’s indigenous culture in abundance and over 30,000 cultural artefacts, plus free entry.

National Sports Museum

Not your usual museum, you’ll find it at Melbourne Cricket Ground (known as the ‘G’). Celebrates the many sporting achievements of Aus, plus there’s a cool cricket hall of fame.

Top festivals in Australia

Sydney New Year’s Eve

Iconic all-day celebration culminating in not one but TWO firework displays - one at 9pm and one to ring in the new year. (Top tip: watch for free on Observatory Hill at Millers Point).

Sydney Mardi Gras

The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras festival runs from Feb - March every year. Expect pool parties, musicals, all-nighters and *lots* of glitter…

Adelaide Fringe

Easily one of the best festivals in Australia. Enjoy four weeks of live music, comedy, dance, theatre, food stalls, late night parties and more...

Byron Bay Bluesfest

For five days Byron Bay plays host to the most exciting artists in contemporary pop, rock, hip-hop and R&B. If you’re there in April, don’t miss it.

Parrtjima

Nestled in a remote town deep in the outback, Parrttjima celebrates all things Aboriginal. Expect epic light shows, music and workshops in the heart of the Aussie desert.
