Head Down Under for a great getaway
WHEN it comes to fantastic family bonding vacation experiences, spectacular scenery, sumptuous food and fabulous attractions, Australia is one of the most popular and well-loved destinations among Malaysians.
The best of both worlds – city stay close to nature and wildlife
Enjoy all the creature comforts of staying in a city while making day trips to get acquainted with Australia’s unique wildlife and magnificent sceneries. With Australia City Stay packages from Holiday Tours, you will be transferred from the airport upon arrival to your accommodation from where you can discover Australia’s attractions.
If you are in Perth, head over to Fremantle for a 25-minute ferry ride to meet adorable quokkas on Rottnest Island. While Sydney boasts one of the most beautiful natural harbours in the world, it is also the base from which you can visit the scenic Blue Mountains National Park and the unique Jenolan Caves.
Spring in Sydney is also one of the most beautiful with jacaranda trees in full bloom lining the streets. For a glimpse of magnificent whales, a spot of whale watching is a must with options in Gold Coast or Sydney available until October. The options are limitless and with the MATTA Special, you enjoy best buys on City Stay packages.
Road trip of a lifetime
If you like complete flexibility, a self-drive adventure could be just the thing for you. While pre-designed self-drive itineraries are available, Holiday Tours’ Premier Aussie Specialists are able to tweak and customise itineraries for you.
The self-drive packages come complete with car rental, accommodation, insurance and GPS hire at a special bundled price to give you the most value. For a slightly different road trip, Campervan holidays allow you to experience nature and wildlife up close complete with cooking facilities.
