AcceptSorry! There are no remaining departures for "Melbourne, Outback & Uluru Adventure" (OAMU),but here are some similar trips.
This itinerary is valid for all 2019 departures. To view the itinerary for departures beginning in January 2020, click here.
Let’s be frank, we’d need a heck of a lot of time to be able to see everything Australia has to offer, and sometimes we’re just not afforded that luxury. Fret not, fellow adventurers, because this 12-day tour will take you on a pretty thorough jaunt from Melbourne to the Red Centre, with a mix of must-see highlights and unique experiences along the way. Sample local wines, check out Victoria’s beaches, travel along the Great Ocean Road, sleep underground like the locals in Coober Pedy, and explore the Outback. (And more. Seriously.)
All of the highlights, culture, access, and I-can’t-believe-we-did-that moments, all at a great price.
Comfortable tourist-class accommodations with character; mix of public and private transport.
Light walking and hiking suitable for most fitness levels. Nothing too challenging.
Small group experience; Max 16, avg 12
All travellers under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
There are no departure dates currently available for the rest of this season. Some tours only run during parts of the year.
