Overview

Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on Journey Beyond's 6 Day Scenic Sip & Sail. Travelling across Australia from Adelaide to Perth aboard the Indian Pacific takes in part of one of the world’s greatest rail journeys. But your adventure doesn’t have to end in Perth. Explore fabulous Rottnest Island when you reach the Western Australian capital.

Itinerary

Start your journey with a delectable welcome dinner before joining the Indian Pacific, where you can settle into your cabin or mingle with fellow travellers in the Outback Explorer Lounge over a nightcap. Stay: Indian Pacific, Adelaide (D)

Today, wake up and marvel at the barren beauty of the Nullarbor. Taking its name from the Latin meaning ‘no trees', the ancient plain conjures a sense of limitless space and time. This journey is all about amazing outback views, as you cross this famous stretch of the Australian interior. Finish the day with an unforgettable experience, dining under an outback sky on the edge of the country's largest sheep station at Rawlinna (seasonal). Stay: Indian Pacific, Nullabor (B/L/D)

Watch the delightful Avon Valley pass as the final stage of your transcontinental crossing unfolds, heading into Perth where your connection with the Indian Ocean begins. Stay: Ritz Carlton, Perth (B/L)

Start your day by being collected from your CBD hotel or arrive at Queen Street Jetty on the South Perth Esplanade, where you check-in for your seaplane flight. After departing the Swan River, you will experience a 45-minute scenic flight with low-level aerial views of Perth City, Fremantle, Carnac and Garden Island, Mandurah and the famous Busselton Jetty. Upon arrival into the Margaret River wine region, your 3.5 hour adventure begins with a stop at Aravina Estate, a stunning cellar door and state-of-the-art winemaking facility, for a guided tasting and lunch overlooking the vines.

After lunch, make a leisurely visit to the Surf and Sportscars museum. Next is Windows Estate, a boutique winery known for its minimalistic approach to winemaking. Here, you will sample their best wines, along with cheese pairings, before returning to Busselton Airport for the low-altitude return flight, arriving on the calm waters of CBD Perth in just 45 minutes. Stay: Ritz Carlton, Perth (B/L)

Make your way to Barrack Street Jetty and board the Rottnest Express bound for Rottnest Island, 22kms offshore. A 90-minute air-conditioned bus tour around ‘Rotto' takes you to some spectacular locations, including Wadjemup Lighthouse and the boardwalk lookout at the rugged west end. Feast on a delicious lunch before exploring the island at your leisure – make sure you meet a quokka. Return to Perth by ferry in the afternoon. Stay: Ritz Carlton, Perth (B/L)

After breakfast, check out of your accommodation. This signals the end of your epic journey across Australia. (B)
