Asia & Oceania
Creative cities, wild Tasmania and the tropical north
Australia is a continent-country, immense, sophisticated and profoundly diverse.
A destination where cities live facing the sea, nature keeps an almost primal scale and every stage feels like a different world: Melbourne and its cultural pulse, Tasmania and its untamed beauty, Sydney and its legendary bay, the ancient Daintree rainforest and the endless blue of the Great Barrier Reef. This trip has been designed to experience Australia in depth, without trying to cover everything, but choosing very well. The route combines exceptional hotels, private transfers, carefully curated experiences, local gastronomy, wildlife, sailings, national parks and enough time to enjoy every place at a calm pace.
Suggested itinerary
Departure from Spain on an international flight bound for Australia, typically via Doha or Dubai, depending on the airline chosen. This is one of those journeys that already feels special from the very first moment: crossing continents and time zones to reach a vast, remote country full of contrasts. Overnight aboard.
A day in flight toward Melbourne. The trip advances slowly to the southern hemisphere, while the distance allows you to start disconnecting and to prepare for a route where each stage will have a completely different personality. Overnight aboard or arrival depending on flight schedules.
International arrival in Melbourne, meet & greet on arrival and private transfer to the hotel. The city welcomes you with a very special blend of contemporary architecture, artisan cafés, galleries, trams, creative neighbourhoods and a gastronomic scene that makes it one of the cultural capitals of the southern hemisphere.
1 Hotel MelbourneA day devoted to discovering Melbourne privately. The morning takes in its laneways, historic arcades, murals, hidden cafés and neighbourhoods with their own identity such as Fitzroy, St Kilda or the historic centre. Melbourne is best understood on foot, in conversation and stopping at places where coffee is almost a form of culture.
Departure in a private service to drive the Great Ocean Road, one of the most spectacular coastal routes in the world. The road unfolds between surf beaches, eucalyptus forests, seafaring villages and cliffs carved by the Southern Ocean.
Private transfer to the domestic airport and flight to Hobart. On arrival, private transfer to the hotel. Tasmania brings a change of scale and atmosphere. The island feels rawer, more intimate and closer to nature. Hobart preserves a maritime, artistic and gastronomic air, with a history shaped by First Nations peoples, explorers, colonisation, sea and mountains.
MACq 01 HobartPrivate day dedicated to Tasmania's nature and wildlife. The day begins in Mount Field National Park, one of the island's most beloved, where the Russell Falls cascade between ferns, mosses and enormous eucalyptus trees in a landscape of damp forest full of textures.
Day to experience Tasmania from the water and through its gastronomy. You will board a sailing experience on the Derwent river and the D'Entrecasteaux channel, around Bruny Island, one of the most beautiful and pristine areas in the south of the island.
Private transfer to the airport and flight to Sydney. On arrival, private transfer to the hotel. Sydney appears luminous, open and profoundly connected to the water. The Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, the bays, the coastal neighbourhoods and the natural parks make up a city that lives facing outward, always looking at the ocean. In the evening, sailing with dinner across Sydney Harbour.
Capella SydneyA private day to discover a less obvious Sydney, one more closely connected to nature. The route heads north to Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, a territory of sandstone, bays, forests, lookouts and Aboriginal heritage sites.
A day devoted to Sydney's great urban and coastal icons. The private tour takes in Macquarie Street, Mrs Macquarie's Chair, Woolloomooloo Bay, Garden Island, Kings Cross, Watsons Bay, The Gap and the world-famous Bondi Beach.
Private transfer to the airport and flight to Cairns. On arrival, private transfer to the Daintree Rainforest region, one of the oldest tropical ecosystems on the planet. The landscape shifts completely. The city fades behind you and a lush, green and primeval Australia emerges, where the rainforest seems to envelop everything.
Daintree EcolodgePrivate day along the Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation. You will sail the Daintree river in search of crocodiles, birds and wildlife, before crossing to the northern part of the park, where the tropical rainforest tumbles almost onto wild beaches.
Private transfer from Daintree to Palm Cove, a small coastal enclave north of Cairns, elegant, serene and framed by palm trees. It is the perfect place to slow down after the intensity of cities, Tasmania and rainforest. The afternoon is free to settle in, stroll by the sea and enjoy the tropical atmosphere.
The Reef House Palm CoveFull day dedicated to one of the great natural wonders of the planet: the Great Barrier Reef. The experience is run in a small group, with a considered sailing to selected reefs off Port Douglas and Low Isles.
Private day to Kuranda, combining two of the tropical north's most emblematic experiences. The day begins on the Kuranda Scenic Railway, a historic train that winds through gorges, waterfalls and rainforest inside Barron Gorge National Park.
Free day to enjoy the tropical pace of Palm Cove. After such a rich journey, this day is designed for rest, walks by the sea, a spa treatment, reading under the palms or simply letting the breeze off the Coral Sea set the rhythm of the day.
At the scheduled time, private transfer from Palm Cove to Cairns airport to board the international flight home to Spain, via a connecting point. Australia stays behind as a journey of immense contrasts: creative cities, wild coast, deep Tasmania, luminous bays, ancestral rainforest and endless reefs.
Arrival in Spain and the end of an extraordinary journey through an Australia experienced with depth, calm and a selection of experiences designed to stay in the memory. Indicative price from €14,400 per person.
