One state, A lifetime of experiences

Queensland is unlike anywhere else on earth. It’s the only place where two UNESCO World Heritage Sites – the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest – exist side by side. It’s where subtropical wildlife roams free, where Indigenous culture runs deep, and where world-class food and wine scenes are quietly redefining Australian travel. Whether you’re here for the wildlife, the culture, or the culinary scene, Queensland delivers the kind of authentic experiences that stay with you long after you return home.

"We just finished four wonderful weeks in Australia and New Zealand and it could not have gone more smoothly. Roslyn did a superb job with every detail of our trip. She listened to what we were wanting on the trip and planned with those things in mind. We saw all the things we asked for, and also some things we didn't know that we needed to see. The transfers went smoothly and we loved all of her arrangements. The hotels were nice and exactly the kind of hotels we asked for. Planning a trip like this can be overwhelming, but she took the worry out of it and we were able to enjoy a beautiful vacation!"

"I really enjoyed our Australia vacation booked with About Australia! Everything was covered to make our vacation experience enjoyable including updated vacation communications, itineraries, and updates. Hotels, excursions, and recommendations, and transportation were included which made our trip pretty much stress free and enjoyable. This was our first trip to Australia and we enjoyed this introductory visit. We would definitely consider traveling again someday to Australia and using your company to assist us with future vacation planning."

"Stephanie is a great. She handled all the trip planning. She handled a 'hiccup' with transport without hesitation. A planned tour was cancelled and a credit was given to our credit card.. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend About Australia to anyone considering traveling to New Zealand and/or Australia. It was a wonderful worry vacation."

Planning your Queensland trip

When is the best time to visit Queensland?

Queensland’s tropical north is best visited May through October during the dry season — ideal for reef and rainforest experiences. Southeast Queensland including Brisbane, Noosa and the Whitsundays is enjoyable year-round, with mild winters and warm summers. Our specialists will match your travel dates to the right regions.

How long should I spend in Queensland?

We recommend a minimum of 10 days to experience Queensland with depth. Two weeks gives you room to explore both the tropical north and southeast without feeling rushed. Many of our clients choose to combine Queensland with Sydney or Melbourne. We’ll help you build the right balance.

Can I combine Queensland with other Australian destinations?

Absolutely, and we specialize in building these combinations. Queensland pairs naturally with Sydney for a classic reef-to-city contrast, or with the Northern Territory for a deeper dive into Indigenous Australia. We can also extend your journey to New Zealand or Fiji.

What’s the best way to experience the Great Barrier Reef?

It depends entirely on your interests and comfort level. Day trips from Cairns or Port Douglas suit most travelers, while liveaboard dive trips offer deeper reef access over multiple days. Scenic reef flights and tour operators that offer semi-submersible tours or underwater observatories are great if you prefer to stay dry. Our Travel Advisors will match you to the right experience based on what excites you most.

What does a custom Queensland vacation package cost?

Queensland packages vary widely depending on duration, accommodation style and the experiences included. An average 10 day vacation package featuring Queensland including flights, hotels, and tours can start from $5,000 per person. We work across a range of budgets and will always be transparent about what you’re getting for your investment. The best first step is a free consultation with one of our Queensland specialists.
