Australia tours in August 2025

An Australian adventure in August? Sounds a-okay

Whether you’re a local looking to brighten up your winter or a traveller from far across the ocean, Australia has a continent’s worth of sights to see this August. Without the intense summer sun, this month is one of the best times to explore the desert centre. See the drop-dropping sights of Uluru and Kata Tjuta then head west for even more stunning natural formations including The Pinnacles at Nambung National Park. If you'd like a warmer climate, head north for treks on rainforest routes, sojourns on sandy shores and exhilarating encounters with endangered animals. Or, turn your attention south for the wine regions of South Australia, the postcard landmarks of Sydney or the Aboriginal heritage sites of Tassie.

Sydney to Cairns Adventure

Laura · Traveled August 2024
I would highly recommended the Sydney to Cairns Adventure that Intrepid Tours offers especially if you are a person who likes to learn about history and nature. We visited several coastal beaches. For example, they coordinated kayaking in Byron Bay, whale watching in Hervey Bay, snorkeling via Ocean Rafting in the Great Barrier Reef. On three different occasions we learned about Aboriginal history from the Eora Nation in Sydney, the Gumbaynggirr at Red Rock in Coffs Harbour, and lastly Mungalla Station about the Nywaigi people. On top of all this, there were several hiking opportunities to see firsthand the beauty and diversity of Australia. Lastly a great opportunity to meet people from all over the world as well as having a great tour guide named, Taimi.

Sydney to Cairns Adventure

Liberty · Traveled August 2024
A brilliant trip that shows you lots of places on the East coast. Taimi was an excellent tour guide and shared her knowledge of the country throughout the trip. Activities are suited to all abilities - a good mix of sightseeing, walking and sporting. There are long drives to get to each location and not many meals included. Would definitely recommend this trip.

Uluru & Kings Canyon Express

susan · Traveled August 2024
Ronald our guide was a class act. The time we spent at Uluru was magical . To be so close this amazing rock and to understand more about the cultural significance to the aboriginal people was an amazing experience. The Kings Canyon Rim walk was unforgettable.
