Journey notes
Why this route works
Why does this itinerary fit travellers from India?
This Australia family package fits Indian travellers from Delhi because it covers three cities in one trip, includes a tourist visa pathway, and runs on direct or one-stop flights from Indira Gandhi International Airport. The 10-night duration gives families enough time without rushing between cities.
Delhi to Sydney flight duration is approximately 12 to 14 hours on a one-stop routing via Southeast Asia. The Australian Tourist Visa (subclass 600) is required for Indian passport holders. Visa processing time is typically 15 to 30 working days from the application date.
The package covers Sydney, Melbourne, and the Gold Coast — three cities with distinct activity profiles suited to families travelling with children.
What experiences does this package include?
This package includes guided city tours in Sydney and Melbourne, a wildlife sanctuary visit, theme park access on the Gold Coast, a harbour cruise in Sydney, and a Great Ocean Road day trip from Melbourne. These activities are pre-scheduled across the 11 days.
- Sydney Harbour guided tour including the Opera House exterior and Circular Quay
- Taronga Zoo visit in Sydney for native Australian wildlife
- Great Ocean Road day trip from Melbourne covering the Twelve Apostles rock formations
- Theme park entry on the Gold Coast — one major park included in base price
- Melbourne city tram tour covering Federation Square and Flinders Street Station
- Gold Coast beach afternoon with supervised water activity option
- Blue Mountains day trip from Sydney with valley viewpoints and cable car ride
Who is this package best suited for?
This package suits Indian families of three to five members departing from Delhi, where at least one adult holds a valid passport with six months validity beyond the return date. Families with children between ages 5 and 15 get the most value from the theme park and wildlife inclusions.
The pace is moderate — two to three activities per day with afternoon rest built into most days. Hotel properties are selected for family room availability and proximity to city centres.
Couples travelling without children can also book this package and swap theme park days for wine region or coastal day trips at no extra cost, subject to availability.
How do the days unfold on this trip?
The 11 days split across three cities: Days 1 to 4 in Sydney, Days 5 to 7 in Melbourne, and Days 8 to 11 on the Gold Coast. Each city block starts with a city orientation tour and builds toward full-day excursions by Day 2 in each location.
Day 1 — Delhi to Sydney: Indira Gandhi International Airport is the departure point for the overnight flight to Sydney. Families check in to the Sydney hotel on arrival and rest for the remainder of the day.
Day 2 — Sydney City and Harbour: Sydney Harbour is a natural harbour forming the geographic and tourist centre of Sydney. Families join a guided walking tour of Circular Quay, the Opera House exterior, and the Rocks precinct.
Day 3 — Blue Mountains: The Blue Mountains is a sandstone plateau located 80 kilometres west of Sydney. Families take a full-day coach excursion with valley viewpoints and a scenic cable car descent.
Day 4 — Taronga Zoo and travel to Melbourne: Taronga Zoo is a wildlife facility in Sydney housing over 4,000 native and exotic animals. Families visit in the morning before the afternoon flight to Melbourne.
Day 5 — Melbourne City Tour: Melbourne is Australia's second-largest city and the capital of Victoria state. Families board the free city tram circuit and visit Federation Square and Queen Victoria Market.
Day 6 — Great Ocean Road: The Great Ocean Road is a 243-kilometre coastal highway in Victoria built between 1919 and 1932. Families join a full-day coach tour stopping at the Twelve Apostles limestone stacks.
Day 7 — Melbourne Leisure and travel to Gold Coast: Families use the morning for optional shopping or the Melbourne Museum before the afternoon flight to Gold Coast.
Day 8 — Gold Coast Arrival and Beach: The Gold Coast is a coastal city in Queensland known for its surf beaches and theme parks. Families check in and spend the afternoon at the beach.
Day 9 — Theme Park Day: One major Gold Coast theme park entry is included in the base package price. Families spend a full day at the selected park with transfers included.
Day 10 — Gold Coast Leisure: Families use Day 10 for optional add-ons such as a second theme park, jet boat ride, or Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary visit at additional cost.
Day 11 — Gold Coast to Delhi: The return flight departs Gold Coast or Brisbane airport for Delhi with a standard one-stop connection. Families arrive in Delhi the following morning.
What should you know before booking?
Indian passport holders must apply for an Australian Tourist Visa (subclass 600) before departure from Delhi. The visa fee is separate from the package price, and Tripstor provides documentation guidance as part of the booking process.
The best travel months from Delhi to Australia are March to May and September to November. These months avoid Australian summer heat in Queensland and align with Indian school holiday windows in April and October.
Travel insurance covering medical expenses in Australia is strongly recommended. Australian public healthcare is not available to Indian tourists, and out-of-pocket medical costs in Australia are high.
