Aussie Icons Fly Stay Tour

The Aussie Icons Fly Stay Tour is a 10-day Australian holiday designed to showcase some of the country's most recognisable urban, coastal, wildlife and natural attractions in one itinerary. The journey begins in Sydney and travels north to tropical Cairns before continuing south to Melbourne, combining domestic flights, hotel accommodation and guided sightseeing experiences.

The Sydney portion introduces travellers to some of Australia's most famous landmarks. A panoramic hop-on hop-off sightseeing experience covers Sydney Harbour, Bondi Beach, the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Darling Harbour and the Royal Botanic Gardens. Travellers can also explore Circular Quay for shopping and dining, while optional attractions include the Sydney Tower Eye and the Australian National Maritime Museum.

A highlight of the Sydney stay is the Blue Mountains excursion. The experience includes a visit to Sydney Zoo, with opportunities for kangaroo feeding and a koala photo experience. The journey continues along Cliff Drive towards Echo Point, where visitors can see the famous Three Sisters rock formation. Scenic World adds several memorable experiences, including the Scenic Railway, Scenic Cableway through the Jamison Valley and Scenic Skyway overlooking Katoomba Falls.

The itinerary then moves to Cairns, the gateway to Tropical North Queensland. One of the major experiences is a full-day excursion towards Cape Tribulation and the Daintree Rainforest. Travellers can enjoy a scenic journey along the Captain Cook Highway, morning tea beside the Daintree River, a guided wildlife cruise and a rainforest boardwalk. The experience also includes lunch at a local café, a freshwater rainforest stream swim and a visit to Cape Tribulation Beach.

The tropical experience continues with a visit to Green Island on the Great Barrier Reef. The itinerary includes a five-hour reef adventure, access to the island's white-sand beaches and a choice between reef snorkelling and a glass-bottom boat cruise. This gives visitors an opportunity to experience Australia's marine environment without requiring an extended stay on the reef.

After Cairns, the journey continues to Melbourne. Travellers have free or optional time to explore central Melbourne attractions and neighbourhoods, including Federation Square, the Yarra River, Southbank, the Melbourne Arts Precinct, Arts Centre Melbourne and the National Gallery of Victoria.

The Phillip Island excursion combines Australian wildlife and coastal scenery. The itinerary includes Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, Woolamai Beach, Cowes village and the Nobbies Centre. The major evening experience is the Penguin Parade at Summerland Beach, where visitors can observe little penguins returning from the sea.

The final major excursion follows Victoria's spectacular Great Ocean Road. The day includes a scenic coastal drive, a stop at Memorial Arch, a guided walk through the Cascades of Melba Gully, views of the Twelve Apostles and a visit to Loch Ard Gorge. Optional stops include Apollo Bay and opportunities for wildlife spotting.

The package is structured as a relatively low-intensity experience and is guided in English, with the source listing a minimum age of eight years. It combines independent travel with selected guided excursions and is designed to give visitors exposure to several different Australian environments during a single trip.

Accommodation is provided across the three main cities. The listed properties are YEHS Hotel Sydney QBV for the Sydney portion, Heritage Cairns Hotel for Cairns, and The Victoria Hotel in Melbourne, although accommodations are subject to change. The package includes accommodation, flights, transport and specified sightseeing services.

The official operator page confirms that the package includes domestic economy flights between Sydney and Cairns and between Cairns and Melbourne, nine nights of accommodation and sightseeing excursions with entrance fees specified in the itinerary. Prices are quoted in Australian dollars and are generally based on twin sharing, with rates subject to the selected departure date. 

Overall, this experience is best suited to travellers who want a broad introduction to Australia rather than focusing on just one city. It brings together Sydney's harbour landmarks, Blue Mountains scenery, Queensland's rainforest and reef environments, Melbourne's cultural attractions, Phillip Island wildlife and the dramatic coastal scenery of the Great Ocean Road.
