Australia Honeymoon Escape – Sydney, Melbourne & Great Barrier Reef
A thoughtfully planned Australia honeymoon combining vibrant cities, tropical reef experiences and iconic Sydney moments.
About This Honeymoon
The tradition of honeymoons probably began during the Medieval ages when men snatched brides and took them to a secret hiding place away from their angry kins. There’s another Scandinavian tradition of newlyweds being fed mead during the first month of their marriage to improve their chances of conception. Modern-day romantic honeymoons are elaborate affairs with couples preparing for their dream vacation months in advance. At Travel Guru Holidays, we curate customized holidays that match your preferences and budget. Visit us if you are looking for Australia honeymoon packages.
Why Visit Australia?
Australia is one of the most popular tourist destinations for Indians. The weather is perfect if you’re visiting from India, with average temperatures ranging from 32ºC in summer to 14ºC in winter. Besides the beaches, there are plenty of other places to explore in the country, including islands, national parks, waterfalls, and mountains.
Aussie life is laid-back, and its people are friendly with their own brand of humor. Most Aussies are liberal thinkers with a passion for outdoor activities and adventure. If you love adventure, you must choose our Australian honeymoon packages that involve plenty of adrenaline-pumping activities like bungee jumping, skydiving, shark cage diving, and bridge climbing.
Australia is home to some of the world’s most unique flora and fauna. In fact, over 80% of Australia’s plants, mammals, and reptiles are unique and found nowhere in the world. While we know some of the popular Australian animals like kangaroos, dingos, wombats, and platypuses, there are hundreds of rare species endemic to the continent. The country has over 500 national parks committed to protecting its plants and animals.
Equally iconic is the country’s landscape. Besides barren deserts, the country has lush tropical forests and even alpine forests. The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s most extensive coral reef system that stretches over 133,000 sq miles and supports over 1,500 species of fish, including 134 species of sharks and rays.
