Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

We had an AMAZING time! The trip went smoothly thanks to the best planning by our matched travel agent that Zicasso provided. We were paired with our travel designer from this travel company. She was brilliant! We gave her some information about how we like to spend our time on vacation, and she made a beautifully balanced itinerary. We had some days where it was a preplanned excursion and other days, that we got to fly off the seat of our pants. We love just going with the flow and chatting with locals, and we got to do that because of the flexibility in our schedule! She even went out of her way to score us FREE tickets to Australia Day Live! Which is an experience we will NEVER forget!!

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

Every excursion we had preplanned was a memory to last a lifetime, as well as the spontaneous things we had found while there. Here are the things we highly recommend doing if going to Australia:

Diving/snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef -we used a local dive company (they were phenomenal!) - Port Douglas, Queensland
Wildlife Habitat (Hold a koala and feed kangaroos)- Port Douglas, Queensland
Staying at the hotel in Port Douglas, Queensland
Swimming at 4 Mile Beach - Port Douglas, Queensland
Mossman Gorge - Just outside of Port Douglas, Queensland
Bridgeclimb - Sydney, NSW
Taking a ferry from Circular Quay to Manly Beach - Sydney, NSW
Taking a ferry from Circular Quay to Cackatoo Island and renting a camping space (tent, cots, chairs provided) - Sydney, NSW
Surfing Lesson (we used a company on Bondi Beach, but we didnt enjoy them as much as the company on Manly) -Sydney, NSW
For a high end dinner, a restaurant (Chinese cuisine and reservations recommended) off of Hunter and Bligh St in Sydney, NSW

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

If we could replant our trip again, we would do Sydney first then Port Douglas. We would much rather be busy in the city, then head to relax up north on the nice sandy beaches.
Also would recommend Sydney for couples who really like clubs and nightlife, but if you would much rather relax and just do some bar hopping choose Port Douglas. Port Douglas was a small quiet town, but there is so much to offer there, but you could also have a quiet relaxing day without the hustle and bustle of the city.
