Often described as the Biggest Gay Festival and Street Party in the world, Sydney's Mardi Gras had reached almost iconic status amongst the worldwide gay and lesbian community such that it has become a must-see for many travllers.
The format changes each year but we recommend arriving in Sydney no later that the Saturday 26 Feb 2012 and staying right through for 9 nights until Sunday 4 March 2012. We have a Starter Package of return flights, 9 nights 4* accommodation in the heart of Sydney plus the all-important Party Pack starting at £1999 per person. Do book as soon as you can as flight prices can rise by as much as 30% between September and February.
By staying the full 9 nights, you will catch the famous Harbour Party with the stunning backdrop of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, the enormous Parade and the Closing Party. In between there are lots of other events including pool and dance parties, beach events and cultural actvities in the Opera House.
Our Party Pack includes tickets to the Harbour Party on the Saturday evening 25 Feb; The Gay Harbour Sunset Cruise at 5pm on Tues 28 February; the Bondi Beach Party and Drag Races on Friday afternoon 2 March; allocated seating for the Parade and then the After Party on Saturday 3 March. Five fantastic parties for just £449 pp.
But a trip just to Sydney is to miss out on a lot more that Mardi Gras can offer. Traditionally, on the Monday after, everyone heads to Queensland and either Cairns or Noosa for a chill-out week on the beach and the Barrier Reef with a few lower key parties. We offer a great value add-ons to Cairns including flights and half board accommodation for just £849 pp.
Many will want to visit distant friends or relatives in other Australian cities or take a side trip to the cultural capital of Melbourne or the island of Tasmania. We'd certainly recommend a trip to the Red Centre to see Ayers Rock if you can stretch your time away.
