Things to do in Australia - Top 10 Tourist Attractions
From hundreds of interesting places in Australia, we have selected only the most interesting and distinguishing sights for our top 10 list. These are the must-see attractions in Australia.
1. Sydney Opera House
The Sydney Opera House is situated on the Sydney Harbour at Bennelong Point and is considered one of the wonders of the modern world. Designed by Jørn Utzon, it opened in October 1973 and is one of Sydney's most popular icons. Instead of a standard guided tour, we suggest our Guided Day Tour (City and Eastern Suburbs) to see the Opera House from the best lookouts.
2. Sydney Harbour Bridge
Built in 1932, the Sydney Harbour Bridge is the world's highest steel arch bridge at 134m high. It carries rail, vehicular, and pedestrian traffic between the CBD and the North Shore. During our Sydney Private Day Tour, we visit one of the bridge towers for spectacular views. For an even more thrilling experience, consider a 20-minute helicopter flight over Sydney and the Bridge.
3. Great Blue Mountains Canyon
The Great Blue Mountains Canyon is the deepest in the region, at about 850 meters. It follows the Grose River and offers some of the most impressive lookouts and waterfalls, like Pulpit Rock and Govetts Leap. We visit these hidden natural wonders during our Blue Mountains Private Day Tour.
4. Jenolan Caves (Temporarily closed)
Jenolan Caves are Australia's most impressive limestone caves. Situated in the Blue Mountains wilderness, nine show caves are open to the public, featuring spectacular lighting and underground rivers. The Orient Cave is considered one of the most well-decorated caves in the world. We visit Jenolan Caves during our Blue Mountains and Jenolan Caves Private Tour.
5. Uluru (Ayers Rock)
Australia's most famous landmark, Uluru rises 348 meters above the red-hued desert. Nearby, you can explore the dome-shaped rocks of Kata Tjuta (the Olgas). The rich Aboriginal heritage associated with both makes the Red Centre a top tourist destination. We offer locally Guided Day Tours in Uluru in a small group.
7. Great Ocean Road & 12 Apostles
Rightly considered one of the most picturesque ocean roads in the world, the Great Ocean Road offers captivating landscapes, long deserted beaches, and the incessant roar of the surf. You can visit this attraction during our Great Ocean Road & 12 Apostles Private Tour.
8. Mount Field National Park - Tallest Trees
Located 80km from Hobart, Mt Field is famed for its alpine moorlands, rainforest, impressive waterfalls, and the tallest forest in Australia. It's a bush-walkers’ paradise and the edge of a vast World Heritage-listed wilderness. You can visit this park during our Mount Field NP, Mountains and Gordon Dam Private Tour.
9. Hobart City
The relaxed city of Hobart lies between the sparkling Derwent River and the majestic Mt Wellington. Its compact centre is a lively mix of colonial heritage and modern art galleries, and it is a fantastic city for seafood and meat lovers. You can explore Hobart during our Airport / Port Pick-up and Hobart Private Tour.
10. MONA Museum
The Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) is the brainchild of millionaire collector David Walsh. The unique museum is built underground, with no windows, and is designed to be explored in a non-linear way. You can visit this world-renowned attraction during our Airport / Port Pick-up and Hobart Private Tour.
