Australia by Private Jet

Arrive in Melbourne, with your room pre-registered by A&K for immediate check-in. Elegant Melbourne — noted for its lively music, art and festival scenes — is one of the world’s most livable cities. Explore its fine arts and sporting precincts as well as its lush parklands, and view the State Library and the Royal Exhibition Building. Celebrate your arrival with a welcome dinner.

In the renowned Yarra Valley, visit a local winery for a behind-the-scenes experience that includes an exclusive barrel-room tasting accompanied by canapés. Eat lunch, sipping on paired wines introduced by a sommelier. Stop at another local winery for a tasting and toast to a day in wine country.

Fly to the arid outback for a two-night stay at Longitude 131° — your luxurious camp overlooking Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock. This iconic red sandstone monolith bears a deep spiritual significance for Indigenous Australians. Witness the changing light as the sun sets on Uluru, with a chilled glass in hand. Dine among the dunes, feasting on a four-course meal complemented with premium Australian wines. Stargaze tonight with a lodge guide in one of the world’s best dark sky locations.

Rise early and set out for Kata Tjuta (the Olgas), stopping to view sunrise over its majestic domes. In the company of your guide, walk through Walpa Gorge and learn how eons of weathering and continental upheaval have shaped today’s stark landscapes. Return to Uluru and traverse the Mala Walk, pausing to view cave paintings and sources of bush tucker. See the walls of Kantju Gorge ablaze at sunset, sip sparkling wine and savor the solitude.

Early this morning, discover peaceful Mutitjulu Waterhole and the sacred site of Kuniya Piti as the sun lights up ancient Uluru. Walk with your guide, who shares the Anangu creation story for a deeper perspective on the vast monolith. Fly by private air to Hamilton Island, where your idyllic pavilion awaits, amid the unsurpassed beauty of the Great Barrier Reef.

Experience a full day in the inner Great Barrier Reef, a dazzling UNESCO World Heritage Site spanning more than 1,000 miles of Queensland’s seaboard. From your private vessel, snorkel the local fringing reefs, observing the riot of color and movement provided by local species. Visit Whitehaven Beach to discover for yourself why this unspoiled shoreline strand is widely considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, basking in the warming sun and sounds of the sea.

Your day is free for you to relax poolside or be dropped off by boat at a nearby beach for a gourmet picnic, a swim and time to bask in the radiant Whitsundays sunshine.

Fly to Sydney by private air. One of Australia’s most cosmopolitan cities, Sydney combines superb beaches, harbors and seafood markets with a rollicking big-city vibe. Sink your toes in the sand at the surfer’s paradise of Bondi Beach and view the boutique shops of Paddington, a neighborhood filled with Victorian and Georgian architecture.

Board a privately chartered luxury yacht to cruise scenic Sydney Harbour, admiring landmarks like the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Back on shore, begin your privately guided visit to the magnificent Sydney Opera House.

On a privately guided morning visit to Sydney’s marvelous Taronga Zoo, encounter Australia’s iconic wildlife, including koalas, kangaroos, echidnas and platypuses. You may also get to know lesser-known species such as the colorful southern cassowary, the endangered corroboree frog, the elusive Bellinger river turtle and the endearing Australian sea lion. As you do, learn about Taronga’s efforts to save and protect Australia’s wildlife and habitats. The afternoon is yours to explore this stunning city at your own pace. Gather for your farewell dinner, a chef-led experience at a local restaurant.

After breakfast, take your private transfer to the airport for your departing flight.
