Melbourne & Victoria

Victoria has something for everyone, whether you’re interested in wine or wildlife, hiking or spas, cosmopolitan cities or wide open spaces, coastline or mountains. Begin your stay in Melbourne, arguably the food, fashion and sports capital of Australia. Spend at least three nights and get an insider’s glimpse to the city on a walking tour with a great guide, check out a local sporting event, wander along the river, go shopping, visit the galleries…

Like Sydney, there are many daytrips available from Melbourne, but all of these regions are also worth spending a few nights if you have the time to explore further. The dramatic coastline of the Great Ocean Road by car, helicopter, or multi-day guided walk, the spa country and foodie heaven of Daylesford, the wine, wildlife, and forested mountains of the Yarra Valley, or the penguins, dolphins, golf and farms of the Mornington Peninsula…decisions are difficult, but at least you can be sure that there aren’t any bad choices!

Get in Touch

Christine at Esplanade Travel planned our recent trip which found us traveling to four very different and fascinating regions in Chile. The trip was absolutely beautiful, memorable and so suited to our specific interests! We have had the pleasure of working multiple times with travel consultants at Esplanade Travel and they continue to amaze us with the itineraries they develop and their close working contacts in other countries that always result in worry-free travel for us. We tend to stay in multiple areas with multiple connections and with the expertise in planning at Esplanade all of our reservations, contacts, pick-ups and drop-offs occur seamlessly. Our travels started in Santiago before heading south to the Lakes District, further south to Torres del Paine in Patagonia, then west to Easter Island. All of the lodges we stayed in were so comfortable with gorgeous views, the guides were super knowledgeable about the cultural and natural history of every location we visited, and the food was fantastic! On Easter Island our native guide, Sabrina, was able to provide us with her intimate knowledge, passed down to her from her ancestors, of the history and culture of the Rapa Nui people. I highly recommend Esplanade Travel to everyone, and I guarantee we will be contacting them to assist us with our next great adventure!
