Expertly curated, sensory, and tactile introduction to Australia, beginning with one of the world’s most ‘coastal’ cities, Sydney with a local tour guide who is experienced in supporting blind and low vision travellers.
Sydney Soft Landing Package
This four-day guided experience is designed specifically for blind and low vision travellers, offering an immersive and supportive introduction to Sydney through tactile, auditory and sensory-rich experiences. Highlights include a guided walk through the historic Rocks precinct, leading up to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, where stories of early Sydney and its architecture are brought to life through detailed description. Guests then enjoy a one-hour tactile tour of the Sydney Opera House, exploring its iconic design through touch and expert interpretation.
Nature features strongly with a visit to The Gap in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, where vast sandstone cliffs and crashing ocean waves create a powerful sensory experience, followed by time at the world-famous Bondi Beach, with the option to swim alongside a dedicated Support Guide.
On day three, guests can choose between two memorable excursions: a visit to the Blue Mountains to get up close to the Three Sisters and experience the dramatic landscape, or a journey to the Hunter Valley to sample local wines and artisan produce.
The tour includes a pre-departure virtual meeting, up to ten hours per day of private Support Guide assistance, private transport throughout, and centrally located four-star accommodation, ensuring a seamless, comfortable and enriching experience.
