2 days in Singapore so far!! Amber is currently experiencing everything this great destination has to offer while travelling on Viva Holidays Singapore Famil.

Leaving from Brisbane Airport on Wednesday, we headed over to Singapore with Singapore Airlines in a comfy seat and some great food.

Coming into a bit of a storm, our landing was delayed and so was our luggage but we got to Paradox Singapore with plenty of time to explore our room, start to unpack and then head down for our welcome drink with VisitSingapore.

We then headed to Synthesis 食拿酒稳 where we had some amazing finger food and a show that incorporated their speciality drinks in Dragon carafes.

Thursday was our first full day in Singapore and boy, was it jam packed. Starting with a hotel inspection at Oasia Hotels and Residences Downtown, we were not only shown the facilities that this beautiful hotel offers but also the different room types (not to mention the stunning foliage that surrounds the outer of the building).

Moving from that, we then went to our surprise activity - this ended up being a tour with Sideways.sg. They not only showed us the side streets that we wouldn’t usually think of but also seeing the sights of Singapore in a vintage Vespa is definitely something everyone should do.

We then headed to Gardens by the Bay and into the Cloud Forest where Jurassic Park ruled this area. This is definitely something I haven’t done before but would in a heartbeat.

As a group, we walked over to the Flower Dome where the display of different flowers and succulents was a sight to see and then ended at Hortus Singapore for lunch.

Moving onto the ArtScience Museum where we got to experience teamLab / チームラボ Future World exhibit. The technology that has gone into this is just next level.

We then had some free time so I headed to Bugis Street and Chinatown via the MRT (great souvenir shopping and food) and then headed back to the hotel to meet up with everyone for dinner.

Lau Pa Sat is a famous hawker centre with over 100 food, drinks and dessert vendors - this has to be one of my favourite places for food when I visit Singapore.

Once we had finished here, a few of us agents then decided to head back to Gardens by the Bay to the Super Grove where we watched the Light Show perform Opera in the Gardens.

Such an amazing few days so far and can’t wait to share the rest.

🌊🦞 Tassie, Tulips & King Island – What an Incredible Experience! 🦞🌊
Our adventure continued with a charter flight to King Island, and what a wonderful few days we had exploring this special part of the world!
From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was amazing, and the food was certainly a highlight! 😍 We enjoyed delicious fresh crayfish for lunch, beautiful fresh fish and a spectacular five-course degustation dinner. King Island is certainly a food lover’s paradise, and of course, we couldn’t leave without discovering the famous King Island Dairy and its delicious cheeses! 🧀
The island’s natural beauty was just as impressive, with rugged coastlines, breathtaking ocean views and an abundance of wildlife. We spotted wallabies, little penguins, echidnas and an incredible variety of seabirds along the way. 🐧🦔
Our sightseeing took us to some truly fascinating places, including the remarkable Calcified Forest, the island’s unique perched freshwater lake at Penny’s Lagoon, and the impressive Cape Wickham Lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse in the Southern Hemisphere! 🌊
For the golf lovers, King Island is also home to world-class golf courses, with spectacular coastal scenery providing a pretty special backdrop. ⛳
King Island may be small, but it certainly delivers on natural wonders, amazing food, friendly hospitality and unforgettable experiences. It was wonderful to explore somewhere so unique, with plenty of surprises along the way!
Another special chapter in our Tassie, Tulips & King Island adventure, with so many wonderful memories made together. ❤️✈️

🌷 Tassie, Tulips & King Island – Our Adventure Continues! 🌷

Leaving beautiful Cradle Mountain behind, our group headed to Sheffield, famous for its amazing murals, before continuing to Gorman Farm for a delicious paddock-to-plate lunch. From there, we made our way to Burnie, our home for the next three nights! 🚌

Our time in the region was filled with gorgeous spring colour as we visited the annual Wynyard Tulip Festival, enjoying the beautiful blooms and festive atmosphere. After a lovely dinner at a local pub in Wynyard, we made a special stop along the Burnie boardwalk, where we were lucky enough to witness the little penguins. 🐧 What a wonderful way to finish the evening!

🌷 Next up was Table Cape Tulip Farm, where the tulips were spectacular, planted in beautiful rows stretching across the landscape. Such a stunning sight and plenty of photo opportunities! 📸

We then enjoyed lunch at the beautiful Emu Valley Rhododendron Garden, surrounded by gorgeous gardens and spring colour. And just when we thought the day couldn’t get any better, we had a surprise encounter with an echidna! 🦔 It’s always special to spot our amazing Australian wildlife along the way.

✈️ Next stop… KING ISLAND! 🌊🦪

With our Tasmanian adventures continuing, we boarded our charter flight to King Island, ready to discover what this special island has in store for us.

Stay tuned for our King Island adventures!

🌷🦘 Tassie, Tulips & King Island Group Tour 🦘🌷

What a wonderful start to our Tasmanian adventure! 💚

We enjoyed two nights in beautiful Launceston, exploring the spectacular Cataract Gorge, taking a ride on the chairlift and enjoying a stroll through a historic 5-hectare park filled with lush lawns, beautiful gardens, mature European trees, a duck pond, Japanese macaques and plenty of charm.

Next stop was two nights at the stunning Cradle Mountain Lodge, where our day began with a delicious breakfast, a hot coffee and an extra-special surprise — a platypus sighting! 🦦☕ What a magical way to wake up surrounded by Tasmania’s wilderness.

We spent an amazing day soaking up the breathtaking mountain scenery, breathing in the fresh alpine air and enjoying some up-close encounters with the adorable wombats. Our visit to Devils @ Cradle was another highlight, with Tasmanian devils and spotted-tailed quolls to see up close. 🐾

Cradle Mountain has certainly delivered, and our Tassie adventure is off to a fabulous start! 💚✨

Stay tuned for more highlights from our Tassie, Tulips & King Island journey! 🌷🌿

🚂✨ South West Panorama group tour…. And the adventure continued…

While some of our group headed home, others extended their journey aboard the iconic Indian Pacific from Perth to Sydney, travelling approximately 4,352 kilometres across the heart of Australia.

Along the way, enjoyed fascinating stops in Kalgoorlie and Cook, before arriving in Adelaide for a very special evening. 🍷

A memorable dinner at Seppeltsfield Winery was followed by a city tour of Adelaide at night, showcasing the city’s beautiful sights after dark, before rejoining the train for the next leg of their journey.

The adventure continued through Broken Hill and the spectacular Blue Mountains, before arriving into Sydney.

From the vast landscapes of the Nullarbor to outback towns, wonderful food, historic cities and ever-changing scenery, the Indian Pacific was a fantastic way to experience the diversity of Australia. 🇦🇺

A wonderful way to round off an incredible Western Australia adventure, with even more memories made along the way! ❤️🚂
