This was by far the most active ABD trip that I've taken and is now my new favorite. I did this trip in Dec. 2015 and really had a great time spending Christmas in Sydney, surfing Bondi Beach, snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef, zip lining, and kayaking. You see most of the major sites in Australia, but with that, you don't have a lot of down time. We had several early morning flights, but what awaited us was worth the effort. I was able to check several things off my bucket list with this trip. If you can deal with the 15 hour flight from LAX to SYD, this trip is definitely worth the jet lag!

I had very high expectations for this trip based on our experience last year with Adventures by Disney in Ireland. I have to say they were exceeded.
The Ireland trip was mostly about the culture of Ireland. This trip was more of an outdoor adventure trip with snorkeling, surfing, hiking, and ziplining. I enjoyed it even more than last year because of that.
Like last year, we felt we really got our money’s worth on this trip. The guides took lots of photos of each family which are posted in a website only the people on the tour can access. The days were well-planned and there were fun contingencies if something wasn't possible. The guides gave us restaurant suggestions in each city. Hotels were luxurious. The guides provided snacks on the bus.
The guides were really first rate.
There was just enough time on our own to not feel like we were always rushing here and there. A quiet meal as a family a few times during the trip was a perfect way to take a break from the group and build family memories.
