Journey notes
Why this route works
Why does this itinerary fit travellers from India?
This itinerary fits Indian travellers from Delhi because direct and one-stop flights connect Delhi to Sydney in roughly 12 to 14 hours. The package covers school-holiday-friendly dates, includes Indian meal options at select stops, and requires only a single Australian tourist visa for the entire trip.
Australia requires Indian passport holders to obtain an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) or Visitor Visa (subclass 600) before departure. The Australian Visitor Visa subclass 600 allows stays of up to three months and is applied for online. Delhi families departing from Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) typically connect through Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, or Dubai.
The itinerary spans Sydney, the Gold Coast, and Melbourne across 11 days. Each city serves a distinct purpose: Sydney covers harbour landmarks and wildlife parks, the Gold Coast covers theme parks, and Melbourne covers cultural precincts and day trips.
What experiences does this package include?
This package includes guided city tours in Sydney and Melbourne, theme park entry on the Gold Coast, a wildlife sanctuary visit, harbour cruise, and intercity flights within Australia. Families get a structured mix of outdoor, cultural, and entertainment activities across all three cities.
- Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House guided walking tour
- Taronga Zoo visit with koala and kangaroo encounters near Sydney
- Gold Coast theme park entry (one major park included per booking)
- Melbourne city tram tour covering Federation Square and Queen Victoria Market
- Great Ocean Road day trip from Melbourne with coastal viewpoints
- Intercity flights between Sydney, Gold Coast, and Melbourne within Australia
- Return airport transfers in all three cities
Who is this package best suited for?
This package suits families with children aged 5 to 16 departing from Delhi who want a structured, multi-city Australia trip. The itinerary balances theme park days with nature and city sightseeing, making the pace manageable for both young children and teenagers.
Families travelling during Indian school holidays in May, October, or December benefit most from this package. The 11-day duration gives enough time in each city without rushing. Parents travelling with children under 12 should note that theme park rides have height restrictions enforced on-site in Australia.
