Home to enchanting landscapes, diverse flora and fauna as well as cultural attractions aplenty, Australia is a perennially popular travel destination that promises something for everyone. Now, you can delve deeper into the heart of Australia with the airline that’s part of the fabric of the land. 

For those who are planning a multi-city escapade, enhance your journey through Qantas’ two unique travel programmes: Qantas Passenger Perks and Qantas Explorer.

When you book an international economy class ticket to Australia with Qantas, you can enjoy significant savings on multiple domestic flights through Qantas Explorer. And the adventure doesn’t stop upon landing. To enrich your time on the ground, Qantas Passenger Perks lets you redeem discounts for over 20 unique experiences, from intimate encounters with Australia’s iconic wildlife to exhilarating  adventures in cities like Sydney, Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Here are some fantastic options tailored to your preferences.

YOU ENJOY: FAMILY-FRIENDLY FUN

If Adelaide is your destination of choice, don’t miss the Adelaide City to Sea Bike Tour. Great for those travelling with children aged 12 and older, the leisurely journey meanders along the designated bike trails of the picturesque Riverbank Precinct and the sweeping coastline, including the vibrant seaside enclaves of Henley Beach and Glenelg.

This activity is suitable for all levels of riding abilities. Along the way, you can make a pitstop at Cleland Wildlife Park for the rare opportunity to hand-feed kangaroos, emus and wallabies, and get up close and personal with cuddly koalas.

If you’re venturing further into the heart of Queensland, visit the Qantas Founders Museum. Immerse yourself in a flight simulator, engage with various interactive displays and explore exhibitions showcasing original and full-size replicas of aircraft, including the Arvo 504K, Boeing 707, Super Constellation, and a range of notable military and civilian planes. Guided tours are available, alongside special activities for kids.

YOU ENJOY: NATURE AND WILDLIFE ENCOUNTERS

Ready to meet more of the country’s adorable locals? Then book a tour with Perth Wildlife Encounters, which offers a variety of cruises and excursions to explore Western Australia’s marine life. Hop aboard a 10-minute ferry trip to Penguin Island to see its namesake residents, nesting pelicans and other sea birds, or swim with wild dolphins in the clear, azure waters of Rockingham’s sheltered bays.

The Australia Zoo in Queensland’s Sunshine Coast – formerly helmed by the legendary Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin – is a must-visit for wildlife lovers. Visitors will encounter over 1,200 animals from Australia and beyond, including big cats, koalas, snakes, quokkas and, of course, crocodiles. Experience some wildlife action at the daily conservation shows or select from a myriad of hands-on experiences where you can interact with the likes of dingoes, red pandas and meerkats.

For those with a penchant for marine adventures, consider taking on the Great Barrier Reef with Dreamtime Dive & Snorkel. Certified divers can set out on guided dives to witness the world’s largest coral reef system – housing roughly 400 types of coral, 1,500 species of fish and 4,000 kinds of mollusc – while beginners can attend an introductory course to learn basic diving skills in a coral lagoon. The company also runs snorkelling tours led by marine biologists, where you can view unique coral formations and glide alongside colourful schools of fish.

YOU ENJOY: ENDLESS THRILLS AND SPILLS

Australia is replete with adrenaline-pumping activities that will challenge even the most fearless of thrill-seekers. In Victoria, Skydive Australia allows daredevils to get a whole new perspective of Melbourne, the Great Ocean Road or Yarra Valley. Strap in with a skilled guide and experience the heart-pounding sensation of freefalling for up to 60 seconds from a height of over 4,500m, before relishing in the stunning 360-degree views.

If you’re planning a family holiday to Sydney, the BridgeClimb Day Experience is an ideal activity for both young and old alike. On this fully guided tour, you’ll get to scale the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and soak in the panoramic vistas of the surrounding harbour and city skyline from the peak. Your climb leader will regale you with exciting tales of the landmark’s storied history, and you’ll even receive a certificate of achievement after the climb.
