Beach Holiday
Duration: 11 days / 10 nights
'Golden sands in sunny Australia'
Way to Australia will organise a getaway for those who are tired of the grey weather and wintery cold conditions, warm coats and little sunlight.
You will get a chance to explore the beach culture of Australia, trying something new and different every day: surfing, swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving, jet skiing, kayaking, fishing or yachting. Take your pick and make your holiday one to remember.
Most major cities of Australia, as well as a myriad of subtropical and tropical islands, have access to the most pristine, beautiful and secluded beaches in the world. You have a chance to spend your beach holiday in complete privacy, or enjoy a more social type of holiday, visiting various tourist destinations.
