 Australia - Sydney and Surrounds Situated in the state of NSW, Sydney and its surrounding areas provide for such an array of activities and adventures that most travellers choose to start their Australian itinerary here. Starting with the city of Sydney itself, guests will arrive in arguably the world’s most beautiful city, sitting on arguably the world’s most beautiful harbour. A walk around the harbour foreshore and its beautifully preserved botanic and colonial gardens always compliments a simple stroll around the culturally diverse restaurants, museums, and galleries of the city. For those who love to get the sand between their toes, take a quick dip, or simply wander along a beautiful beach, Sydney has become synonymous with beautiful beaches and with such an array of beaches, cafes, and local hospitality surrounding the city North to South, the experiences are endless.

Complementing the attractions of the city, the various outlying areas of Sydney and the state of NSW provide an opportunity to discover Australia’s more famous icons. Starting with 2 regions located only 1.5 hours drive from Sydney, the Blue Mountains and the Hunter Valley are a favourite day tour option out of Sydney, and provide guests with a simple step out into the country setting. Discover the picturesque views of the various escarpments and ranges of the Blue Mountains, or sample some of Australia’s finest wine and cuisine in the Hunter Valley.
Adding to these more centrally located regions, Sydney also provides exclusive access to the multi day adventure regions of New South Wales. Departing from Sydney, travellers can find themselves undertaking a magnificent tour into the outback, or discovering the beauty of Australia’s high country.
