Itinerary

Day 1 Welcome to Australia
You have arrived to one of the world's great natural harbor cities. A private transfer brings you to Park Hyatt Sydney, where front-row views of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge set the stage for the days ahead.

The biggest decision of the day? Settle into the mesmerizing shimmer of the harbor from your suite, a glass of Australian Shiraz in hand, or step outside to wander the cobblestone laneways, historic pubs, and waterfront atmosphere of The Rocks.

Meals: B

Day 2 Sydney Northern Waterways, Oysters and Wildlife
Leave the city behind to trace the edges of Sydney's northern waterways, where ferries give way to hidden inlets and waterfalls, sandstone cliffs, and bushland alive with native marsupials and the laughter of kookaburras. Cruise the Hawkesbury River for an oyster shucking and tasting experience, the perfect beginning before lunch at the famous Palm Beach. A pause at a significant Aboriginal site offers a deeper connection to the stories that have shaped this landscape for tens of thousands of years.

Day 3 Sydney In Style

Day 4 Off to Bora Bora
Now we exhale and slip into French Polynesia, trading city skyline for turquoise lagoon. After arriving in Bora Bora, continue by boat across impossibly clear shades of blue to The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort, where powder-white sand gives way to a lagoon dotted with overwater villas.

Settle into your private retreat and let island time take over. Wake to the gentle lap of water beneath your villa and linger over coffee before breakfast arrives by va'a, a traditional Polynesian canoe.

St. Regis Bora Bora

Day 5 Day at Leisure
Spend the day swimming straight from your terrace, settling into a shaded lounger, or simply watching Mount Otemanu emerge and disappear behind passing clouds. Whether you choose to venture out or stay wonderfully still, the rhythm of the day is entirely your own.

St. Regis Bora Bora

Day 6 Day at Leisure
The beauty of Bora Bora reveals itself in many ways. Paddle across glassy water or slip into the Lagoonarium, an aquatic playground alive with tropical fish and marine life.

As the day fades, linger a little longer as the sky softens from gold to lavender and the lagoon shifts through its final shades of blue.

St. Regis Bora Bora

Day 7 Day at Leisure
Perhaps today calls for retreating to the spa for a treatment inspired by Polynesian traditions. Or ease into the day with a wellness experience, whether yoga on the beach or a meditation accompanied by the resonate tones of crystal singing bowls.

However you choose to spend it, today unfolds entirely on island time.

St. Regis Bora Bora

Day 8 Day at Leisure
There is no wrong way to spend a final day in Bora Bora. Return to a favorite spot, swim one more time in the lagoon, or simply pause long enough to take it all in.

St. Regis Bora Bora

Day 9 Farewell
Today, depart Bora Bora and begin your journey home. Any farewell blues are softened by memories of time spent embracing the spirit of True Blue Australia and the seemingly impossible beauty of French Polynesia.

Sydney

Sydney

Soak up Sydney’s gorgeous harbour, seductive outdoor lifestyle and great natural beauty. Kayak under the Sydney Harbour Bridge or wave at the Opera House as you ride a ferry across the harbour to Manly. Learn to surf at Bondi Beach or swim in the calm waters of Coogee. Lose yourself in the cobblestone cul-de-sacs of The Rocks or in the markets, boutiques, cafes and pubs of Paddington. As well as a world-famous harbour and more than 70 sparkling beaches, Sydney offers fabulous food, festivals and 24-7 fun.

Five Sydney Experiences Not to Miss:

1. Explore the historic Rocks

Discover Sydney’s colorful convict history in the harbourside quarter where it all began. Just five minutes from Circular Quay, you can hear stories of hangings and hauntings on a ghost tour, wander the weekend markets or climb the span of the Harbour Bridge. In amongst the maze of sandstone lanes and courtyards, you’ll find historic workman’s cottages and elegant terraces, art galleries, hotels with harbour views and Sydney’s oldest pubs. See people spill out of them onto a party on the cobblestone streets when The Rocks celebrates Australia Day on January 26th, Anzac Day on April 25th and New Years Eve.

2. Hit the world-famous harbour

Sail past the Opera House on a chartered yacht or paddle from Rose Bay in a kayak. Take a scenic cruise from Circular Quay or Darling Harbour, past waterfront mansions, national parks and Shark, Clark, Rodd and Goat islands. Tour historic Fort Denison or learn about the life of Sydney’s first inhabitants, the Gadigal people, on an Aboriginal cultural cruise. Watch the harbour glitter from the green parklands of the Royal Botanic Gardens, which curves around its edge. Or take in the view from a waterfront restaurant in Mosman, on the northern side of the bridge, or Watsons Bay at South Head. Walk from Rose Bay to Vaucluse or Cremorne Point to Mosman Bay, on just some of the 16 spectacular routes hugging the harbour foreshore.

3. Visit Manly on the ferry

Travel across Sydney Harbour on a ferry to Manly, which sits between beaches of ocean surf and tranquil inner harbour. Wander through native bushland on the scenic Manly to Spit Bridge walk, learn to scuba-dive at Cabbage Tree Bay or ride a bike to Fairy Bower. Picnic at Shelly Beach on the ocean and sail or kayak from Manly Wharf round the harbour. Hire a scooter and do a round trip of northern beaches such as Narrabeen and Palm Beach. Explore the shops, bars and cafes along the bustling pine tree-lined Corso and dine at world-class restaurants with water views.

4. Enjoy café culture and top shopping in Paddington

Meander through the Saturday markets, browse fashion boutiques on bustling Oxford Street or discover the antique shops and art galleries in upmarket Woollahra. Visit the 1840s Victoria Barracks Army base, open to the public once a week, and see restored Victorian terraces on wide, leafy streets. Ride or roller-blade in huge Centennial Park, then stop for coffee and lunch on Oxford St or in the mini-village of Five Ways. Catch a movie at an art-house cinema or leaf through a novel at midnight in one of the huge bookstores. Crawl between the lively, historic pubs. They hum even more after a game at the nearby stadium or a race day, when girls and guys arrive in their crumpled trackside finery.

5. Walk from Bondi to Coogee

Take in breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean as you walk the winding, sea-sculpted sandstone cliffs between Bondi and Coogee. Swim in the famous Bondi Icebergs rock pool or just watch the swimmers with a sunset cocktail from the restaurant above. See wild waves in Tamarama, nicknamed Glamarama for the beautiful people who lie on its golden sand. From mid-October to November, the stretch from here to Bondi is transformed into an outdoor gallery for the Sculptures by the Sea exhibition. You can surf, picnic on the grass or stop for a coffee at family-friendly Bronte. Or swim, snorkel or scuba dive in Clovelly and tranquil Gordon’s Bay. See the graves of poets Henry Lawson, Dorothea Mackellar and aviator Lawrence Hargrave in Waverley Cemetery, on the edge of the cliffs. Finish your tour in the scenic, backpacker haven of Coogee.
