Are you planning a family holiday to Australia and wondering how much time you need? Let’s explore what makes Australia the perfect family-friendly holiday destination and discover how long you and your family need to soak in all that Australia has to offer.
We often get asked, "What's the perfect amount of time for a family visit to Australia?" Our answer: it depends on how long you have and what your family wants to do!
Travelling to Australia the TravelEssence way means family adventures at a relaxed pace. It means spending a couple of days in each location, seeing each destination through the eyes of the locals, and making the most of every moment together as a family.
As a country, Australia has so many unique regions, each with its own charm and characteristics, and where TravelEssence excels is at creating bespoke family itineraries perfectly tailored to you and your family, catering to all ages - away from the mainstream - so you can spend quality family time Down Under.
So, if you're curious about the ideal length of time for a family adventure in this amazing country, read on!
Yes, that's right - you can visit Australia for two to three weeks and have an unforgettable family adventure. Travelling at a relaxed pace, you'll fully immerse yourself in a couple of regions, spending less time driving and more time making memories together as a family.
For a two to three-week holiday, we highly recommend visiting North Queensland and the route between Melbourne and Adelaide. Located within a short driving distance from each other, these regions so happen to be some of our all-time favourites, too!
Brimming with attractions, natural beauty, and hidden gems just waiting to be explored - they are the ideal setting for a family holiday filled with adventure and unique experiences.
Three to five weeks is ideal, as it will give you and your family time to stay in each location between two and five nights, giving you more opportunities to enjoy more family adventures further afield.
If your dream is to visit multiple regions around Australia, such as Queensland, New South Wales, Tasmania, or even Western Australia, then we absolutely recommend flying internally.
Travelling this way ensures you and your family have plenty of time to enjoy each destination, make memories together, and experience Australia's diverse landscapes and unique attractions.
