Planning Your Australia Tour from India? Here Are 10 Questions You’re Definitely Googling (With Real Answers)

Australia — the land of kangaroos, coral reefs, coffee that could convert a chai lover, and road trips that look straight out of Netflix.

But before you say “lock the dates,” there are some burning questions that every Indian traveler has. So here’s your no-nonsense, super useful, myth-busting FAQ guide for anyone planning an Australia tour from India.

1. ???? How long does it take to get an Australian visa from India?

Expect 20–30 days for processing. The visa (Subclass 600) is online, but don’t wing it — documentation matters.
Best bet? Let your tour operator handle it. They know what the consulate wants.

2. ✈️ What’s the ideal duration for an Australia tour?

9 to 11 days is that sweet spot — covers Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast, with enough time to chill and explore without burnout. Anything less? You’ll feel rushed. Anything more? Visa budget and time off become issues.

3. ???? Which destinations should I include as a first-timer?

Top picks:

Sydney – Opera House, Harbour Cruise, Bondi
Gold Coast – Dreamworld, beaches, skyrides
Melbourne – Phillip Island, city vibes, day trips
Optional add-ons: Great Ocean Road, Cairns (for reef diving)

4. ???? Is it crazy expensive?

It’s not Thailand-budget, but it’s also not out of reach.
If you book smart with a group tour, you get:

Flights
Hotels
Daily Indian meals
Sightseeing
Visa support

All at one package price = easier on the wallet and zero bill shocks abroad.

5. ???? Will I get proper Indian food?

Yes. Big cities like Sydney & Melbourne are packed with Indian restaurants.
Even better? Tours like the ones from Sun Tourism include Indian meals in the itinerary — veg/non-veg, desi spice, and all the comfort food you’ll need between sightseeing.

6. ????️ When’s the best time to visit?

October to December and March to April are the golden windows — pleasant weather, fewer tourists, and outdoor-friendly days. Avoid Jan–Feb if you hate peak summer heat.

7. ???? Is it okay for seniors or young kids?

Absolutely. Australia is safe, clean, English-speaking, and very senior-friendly.
Group tours also move at a balanced pace, and comfortable transport + Indian meals keep both grandparents and toddlers happy.

8. ???? What’s the accommodation like on these tours?

Usually 3.5 to 4-star hotels — clean, modern, centrally located. You won’t be sleeping in some dingy motel with creepy wall art, don’t worry.

9. ???? What should I pack?

Quick checklist:

Light layers (weather flips fast)
Power adapters (Type I)
Walking shoes
Rain jacket (just in case)
Sunscreen + sunglasses
Basic meds (Australia = $$$ pharmacies)
