Independent Australia Vacations

Independent Australia Vacations
Independent Australia Vacations

Our independent Australia vacations provide maximum value and flexibility. Using their buying power, tour operators negotiate bottom-dollar hotel rates in advance, and because your vacation doesn't have a set agenda, you're free to spend each day as you choose.

Find an Australia Tour

After researching the options in each city, operators select hotels that provide easy access to major attractions. Daily breakfasts and a sightseeing orientation are included with some independent vacations. The number of inclusions and quality of hotels used vary according to the rating of the package, which we provide for every package listed below.

Along with discounted hotel rates, tour companies also offer low prices on airfare. Our travel counselors can search for special air rates that save you even more money on your trip.

You won't travel with a tour director on an independent vacation, as you would on an escorted Australia tour, though some packages include the services of a local host in select cities. Acting as a travel advisor, this person can recommend restaurants, suggest sightseeing activities and help schedule any desired excursions.

Independent Australia vacations are classified according to the quality and location of hotels and the number of included meals and services. The quality listed for each package below follows the industry rating scale (budget, first class and deluxe).
