Australia is a dream family and honeymoon destination – the Opera House and Harbour Bridge in Sydney, the theme parks and beaches of the Gold Coast, the laneways and Great Ocean Road of Melbourne, and the Great Barrier Reef from Cairns. Wildlife experiences with kangaroos and koalas are a highlight for every age.
Most trips are 8 to 12 nights covering two or three cities by domestic flights. Large Indian communities mean Indian food is everywhere. We help with the visa documents, and every Trip Inventor package can be customised with hotels, theme park passes or flights from your city.

Australia tour FAQs
Do Indians need a visa for Australia?
Yes. Indians apply online for the Visitor visa (subclass 600) through ImmiAccount, with biometrics at VFS Global. The fee is AUD 190 for a standard tourist visa, and processing usually takes 3 to 6 weeks, so apply about 2 months before travel. We help you prepare the documents.
How much does an Australia trip from India cost?
Our Australia packages start from ₹1,20,000 per person on twin sharing, including taxes and GST. Domestic flights, hotels and theme park passes affect the final price, and we can add international flights from your city.
How many days do I need for Australia?
7 to 8 nights covers Sydney and the Gold Coast or Melbourne. With 10 to 12 nights you can add Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef.
What is the best time to visit Australia?
Spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) have pleasant weather across most cities. December to February is summer – great for beaches – and June to August is winter in the south.
Is Australia good for a family holiday?
Yes. The Gold Coast theme parks, wildlife sanctuaries, beaches and safe, easy-to-explore cities make Australia ideal for families.
Is Indian, vegetarian and Jain food available in Australia?
Yes. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Perth have large Indian communities and many Indian and pure vegetarian restaurants. Jain food is available in the big cities with some planning, while choices are fewer in the Outback and on long drives – tell us your food needs when you enquire and we plan meals around them.
