Smooth and Seamless

Recently returned from my first trip to Australia, and what a memorable adventure. About Australia not only made the trip smooth and seamless, careful consideration was taken when proposing and(...)

(...) planning the trip to my active lifestyle. The first stop of my trip was Cairns.
Cairns is a beautiful city with an exquisite atmosphere. The Esplanade has a beautiful man made lagoon for swimming, highlighted with steel fish sculptures. The boardwalk that lines the harbor is perfect for a morning jog, and has exercise equipment along the way. The opposite side of the street is lined with numerous restaurants which will not disappoint. While in Cairns snorkeling or diving on the Great Barrier Reef is a must do, and is indescribable experience. The Tusa T-6 Dive boat was an amazing vessel, and its staff kind, courteous, and eager to show the treasures just beneath the waves. After viewing the reef the next item to see is the Daintree Rainforest.
The Daintree Rainforest is a World Heritage site. While in the Daintree, I selected to Jungle Surf (Zip line) through the Canopy. A truly unique perspective of the forest as you zip from platform to platform in a very safe and controlled fashion. From some of the platforms you can see the contrast of the sea as it meets the lush forest at it shores. The upbeat staff made learning about the rainforest and its hidden treasures fun, enjoyable, and memorable.

The second city I visited was Melbourne. My first impression of Melbourne was that it was a bustling center with more trolleys than San Francisco. I never hopped on a trolley or took a cab while in this city, and found the best way to see the charm is to walk. From street art and performers to numerous eateries and the night markets entertainment can be found very easily. During my walk I made it to Captain Cook's Cabin, Melbourne Aquarium (Stunning), and the botanical gardens. The next activity was the Great Ocean Road tour which is filled with breath taking landscapes of the southern shore, and a passionate and knowledgeable guide.

Sydney was my last stop. The first activity was riding on an America's cup boat in Sydney Harbor. The crew actively encourage people to hop on the grinders to hoist or trim the sails, and take hold of the wheel and feel the power of this world class boat as it harnessed the wind. The second item on the agenda was surfing at Bondi Beach. Although surf conditions were not ideal due to the wind (can't control the weather), it was a beautiful beach and a must go for any beach lover. The last item was the Sydney Harbor Bridge Climb. While the idea of climbing a bridge may deter the less adventurous, the climb is easily performed by young and old. It provides a unique view of the Opera house, harbor, and the city. The nightlife in Sydney varies from the Circular Quay, Rocks, to Kings Cross, or to the more mellow Darling Harbor which has numerous restaurants /café and the World's Largest IMAX Theater.

About Australia's hard work and dedication to provide a quality and memorable experience, was clearly apparent from the first shuttle transfer to last. I will definitely plan my next adventure with them.
