Eco Australia
Australia is a country where boundaries blur. Ancient rainforests and national parks skirt modern cities. Coral reefs kiss the shore and stunning colors contrast with the craggy red earth. Strange creatures dwell in perfect harmony on land and in the sea.
Pack your walking shoes or comfortable sneakers as one of the best ways to enjoy an eco Australia vacation package is on foot. The contrasting landscape offers some of the best walks in the world. From short jaunts around the city, lengthy walks through alpine ranges to the 620 mile Bibbulmun Track, you'll find something to enjoy.
Much of Australia is unpopulated. Vast areas remain virtually undiscovered and ripe for exploring. There are valleys to explore and craggy peaks to climb, rugged deserts to navigate, mountain ranges to ride, lush rainforests in which to retreat and Aboriginal guides to keep you company and in touch with nature and your soul.

Eyre Peninsula, South Australia
A short flight from Adelaide takes you to another world with vast desert plains, a ruggedly beautiful coastline and experiences you'll remember forever. Swim with the sea lions, dolphins or tuna; give a go a cage diving with the Great White Sharks; walk along the coast and discover countless blowholes carved into the cliffs; travel along Australia's Seafood and Aquaculture Trail or join a 4WD adventure into the wilderness of the Gawler Ranges National Park. These are just a few of the things to do near Adelaide on the Eyre Peninsula.
Kangaroo Island, South Australia
Australia's third largest island is home to rare seals, koalas, sea lions, wallabies, little penguins, bandicoots, platypus and more. Over 45 plant found here are nowhere else on earth. Picnic with 'roos in an open field, spot koalas munching on dinner high in their tree homes, sit on a sandy beach surrounded by sea lions and enjoy a gourmet meal accompanied by local wine at the end of the day.
The Australian Alps, Victoria
The Australian Alps include 16 national parks and reserves, spanning from Australia's Capital Territory almost to Melbourne. This region is known for fantastic alpine vistas, abundant wildlife and quiet solitude. Explore underground caves, ride to the film scenes from The Man from Snowy River, discover campsites left by the Ngunawal people thousands of years ago or take to the epic Australian Alps Walking Track with over 400 miles of trails - all available with a vacation package to Victoria's High Country.
Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia
No matter what time of year you visit Ningaloo Marine Park, you'll find exciting adventures. From March and June swim with the world's largest species of fish - the whale sharks. From August through November, you can spot the seasonal migration of the Humpback Whales - and may see Pilot Whales, Minke Whales and even Blue Whales. November to March you'll find the marine turtles nesting on the beaches. And if you're a surfer, or surfer wannabe, head to Ningaloo from July to October for the best swells.
The Kimberley, Western Australia
Traveling through the Kimberley is one of the last true wilderness adventures. This ancient region has fewer people per square mile than almost any other place on Earth. Hike through gorge country, explore caves, swim or canoe in fresh water lagoons, fish for magnificent Barramundi, view Aboriginal culture in Australia through ancient rock art with a traditional guide and relax at night in the comfort of an Outback station or wilderness retreat.
