New South Wales boasts iconic cities, beautiful beaches, pristine national parks and world class wineries. So whether you are looking for a beach holiday, city break, or luxury indulgence, you can find it all here. The spectacular panoramas of the World Heritage Listed Blue Mountains, the famous vineyards of the Hunter Valley and the glorious beaches of Port Stephens are within easy day tour distance of Sydney, making an extended stay with short tours out of the city an enticing prospect. Further afield, the quirky beach community of Byron Bay to the north and the glorious coast to the south make extended touring very popular, and we have a wonderful selection of self drive holidays, coach tours and small group adventures to choose from.

What Trailfinders do better than anyone else is create tailormade holidays in Australia. With us you can pick and choose how you’d like to get around, where you’d like to stay and how you’d like to experience the attractions.

    Further north, discover the rolling vineyards of Australia’s oldest wine region: the Hunter Valley, with over 150 cellar doors to explore.
