Australia Vacations From Canada

Entry requirements can change, so we recommend checking current Australian Government requirements before your trip. Our Destination Specialists can also help point you toward the latest travel information while planning your Australia vacation.

Australia is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit depends on where you want to go. Australia’s seasons are opposite to Canada’s, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August.

Our Destination Specialists can help you choose travel dates based on the regions, activities and experiences you want to include.
