Australia tours in February 2026

Warm and wet weather in the tropics means that turtles will be hatching their eggs. Divers at the Great Barrier Reef will still need to wear a stinger suit, but with fewer visitors around, you’ll get much more of the reef to yourself. The weather is also perfect to explore Kangaroo Island’s vast nature reserve full of (you guessed it) kangaroos, koalas, echidnas and other local species. Victoria’s water will be at its warmest, so trips along the Great Ocean Road can include a dip in several beaches.
