Australia is a top-rated travel destination. It boasts of one of the Seven Wonders of the World – the Great Barrier Reef, the beauty and majesty of the Outback and lots of islands, beach resorts, and cruise destinations. It’s no surprise that people flock this country to get away on South Pacific vacations. The Australian climate and the season play a significant role in how you should book your South Pacific tours. The midwinter season in Australia starts from July through August, which means the hottest months in Australia (primarily northern Australia) are from November through March. So what are some of the places to visit on your South Pacific vacation?
Vanuatu
This is a beautiful, collection of lush green islands located in the Pacific off the coasts of Australia and New Zealand. Bordering the islands are white sandy beaches and crystal clear water that contain the most diverse marine life in the Pacific. Of all the things to see and do in Vanuatu, there is none more exhilarating than the tour of volcano Yasa on the southern island of Tanna. It is the only location in the world where you are allowed to stand on the edge of a live volcano. At night, the sight of fireballs shooting from the volcano is so amazing.
Mildura, Victoria
The rugged Outback attracts a lot of people for various reasons, and while some areas might be seen as dangerous, this region is anything but. It is a vibrant Outback oasis showing off ancient lunar landscapes and picturesque sand dunes. There are few places where you can ride a hot air balloon over the baked landscape, eat-in at award-winning restaurants and then leap into the wilderness on a four-wheel-drive recreational vehicle.
Rottnest Island
The Rottnest Island is just over 11 kilometers long and 4.5 kilometers wide (at its widest point), and boast of over 60 secluded beaches and 20 bays. Its beaches are rated as some of the top beaches, and it gets upwards of 500,000 visitors each year. Its clear water is teeming with life among the reef formations, and it’s the perfect escape for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts that love clear blue waters.
Conclusion
The feel of sunlight on your skin, a gentle breeze caressing your face, and the lapping of warm seawater tickling your toes is just a taste of what to expect in Australia. If you know you need to take a break, it makes sense to think about South Pacific tours, taking time out in a resort where you’ll be treated with the utmost care, and given everything you need to relax and unwind. If you are looking for a tropical getaway that gets the heart pumping as well as all the creature comforts of quality resort accommodation, then Australia is one destination you really should put on your list of ‘must-see and experience’ places.
