Oz Adventure Melbourne

G'day and welcome to Australia! Touching down in bustling Melbourne, we'll meet you at the airport and take you to our hostel in the heart of the city. This evening you'll meet up with the rest of your travel crew and get excited for all the adventures to come in the Land Down Under.

First up today we'll get oriented with a walking tour of the city. Sydney's low-key neighbour, 'Melbs' is the cultural capital of Australia known for its diversity, creative scene, open green spaces, chic neighbourhoods, and impeccable food and coffee culture. Tonight it's time to see what Melbourne has to offer after dark! Spoiler alert: from grungy dens to glitzy rooftops, there's something for every reveller.

This morning we're travelling back in time as we gain a fascinating insight into the rich history and traditions of Australia's First Nations Peoples. We'll then head down to the famous St Kilda to explore and get some beach time, making the most of the sunshine before an arvo sesh at the Espy.

Leaving the city, we're off to explore Southern Australia's natural beauty as we road trip one of the most dramatic stretches of coastline in the world - the Great Ocean Road. From the iconic 12 Apostles to ancient rainforests teeming with life, we'll be awe-struck by nature as we drive from landmark to landmark. Wind in our hair, sand in our toes, we could get used to this Aussie lifestyle.

This morning we'll discover the Mornington Peninsula, a coastal region that meshes European village vibes with laid-back Aussie charm. After a dose of the relaxed alfresco lifestyle, get ready to meet some of Australia's favourite furry locals at Phillip Island. We'll walk through the canopy at a Koala Reserve to spot these adorable creatures in their natural habitat, then head down to the beach at sunset to witness none other than the Penguin Parade. Home to the largest Little Penguin colony in the world, we'll watch these little legends waddle from the ocean to their burrows whilst wondering how anything on earth could possibly be this cute.

Today our team of friendly pros are at your disposal to help organise onward travel for your adventures in Australia and beyond! This evening, we'll head up to the highest viewing platform in Australia - the Eureka Skydeck, before hitting up Melbourne's best party spots.

Relax today after a big night out, or explore more of Melbourne with some free time to yourself or with your new mates. Dress sharp tonight, it's our last dinner together!

Your unforgettable 9 day adventure comes to an end today, but your time in Australia is only just beginning. You'll now be prepped and ready for the next leg alongside the new friends you've made, and we'll be there for support and advice every step of the way.
