Sydney & New South Wales

Sydney is a capital city of New South Wales and the major gateway to Australia. A maritime city, its natural harbor unsurpassed in beauty. Houses crowd to the land’s edge, interrupted by sheer rocky cliffs and preserved parkland with the striking forms of the Harbor Bridge and Opera House standing sentry to the city. Spend a minimum of three nights in Sydney, but there is enough to do even if you stay for a week! Sail or cruise the harbor, climb the bridge, learn to surf on Bondi Beach, go backstage at the Opera House, discover where the locals hang out on a walking or bike tour of the city, and leave enough time for shopping, of course!

From Sydney, take daytrips out of the city to the Blue Mountains or Hunter Valley. Better yet, if you have the time we highly recommend spending a few days touring the area with a driver or your own car. Take in the stunning scenery of the Blue Mountains, Australia’s Grand Canyon, sample the wine and beer in the Hunter Valley, stay on a working station in the outback, or explore the quiet beaches and coastline both north and south of Sydney.

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!
