SEDONA, Ariz.—Incredible airfare deals to Australia have been popping up everywhere – for example, Delta’s roundtrip from LAX to Sydney is now only $762! There has never been a better time for a “See-It-All” multi-adventure trip with Canyon Calling Adventures for Women.
YouÂ’ll hike the Blue Mountains with an Aborigine woman whoÂ’ll show you rock carvings and teach the culture of her ancestors, learn how to play a didgeridoo, snorkel the Great Barrier Reef and raft the rapids of the Tully River. You may see dolphins while sea kayaking or colorful birds while horseback riding in the rainforest.
Serenity is hiking in the Outback canyons where the Southern Cross hangs low in the night sky, or horseback riding the beach and rainforest of Queensland. And of course you will have the opportunity to explore Sydney, often called the “best address in the world.” Whether you’re swimming at the beautiful beaches or watching colorful birds fly by, you’ll feel the spirit of Australia, wonderfully alive.
“Aussie [Canyon Calling trip] is truly awesome!,” says Lois Gesner, who is an eight-time Canyon Calling participant. “Your love and understanding of the aboriginal people, and all Aussies, really came across.”
“October is the best time to visit the Outback, Sydney and the Tropical North,” says Cheryl Fleet, founder of Canyon Calling. “It’s early enough to beat the heat in the Outback and avoid jellyfish stings while snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef, yet warm enough for hiking the Blue Mountains. The highlights of Australia are impossible to see in two weeks without flying, so our itinerary includes four internal flights.”
Canyon Calling was the first in the world to offer multi-activity adventure trips for women. “There are many ways to travel, but journeying with a group of adventurous women is just the best,” says Fleet. “When women vacation together in the outdoors, their confidence and self esteem gets a boost, little quirks are easily forgiven and they laugh - a lot! We compromise and play all sorts of roles in our everyday lives. On vacation, at least, we deserve to be ourselves.”
Dates: October 8-21, 2009. Cost: $4995 all-inclusive of accommodations and four domestic Australian flights. For more information about Canyon Calling Adventures for Women, visit the website or contact Cheryl Fleet at 928-282-0916.
