Plan an Australia Trip from the UK
Australia trip planning, made simple for UK travellers
Planning a holiday to Australia from the United Kingdom takes more thought than most trips - long-haul flights, multi-stop itineraries, road distances bigger than the entire UK, and tour operators spread across thousands of kilometres. AUBIS pulls all of that into one place so you can plan your Australia trip from London, Manchester, Edinburgh or anywhere in the UK in days, not weeks.
Use the AUBIS itinerary planner to map every flight, drive and tour day by day. Discover over 6,000 real Australian experiences from the Rezdy marketplace, compare prices, check live availability and book straight from your plan. The interactive map shows distances and drive times between every stop, so you'll never accidentally book a Sydney sunrise tour the same morning as a Cairns reef cruise.
Whether it's a two-week east coast highlights run, a month around the Red Centre, or a multi-generational family trip from the UK with kids and grandparents, AUBIS adapts. Our AI travel assistant Dingo learns your travel style, budget and interests and builds a draft plan you can refine. Costs are tracked live across tours, accommodation and transport so you always know what your Australian adventure will cost in pounds.

Australia trip planning FAQs
How long should a UK traveller spend in Australia?
Most UK travellers spend two to four weeks in Australia to make the long-haul flights worthwhile. Two weeks covers either the east coast (Sydney to Cairns) or a Sydney + Melbourne + Uluru loop. Four weeks lets you add Tasmania, the Top End or Western Australia.
What's the best time of year to visit Australia from the UK?
September to November (Australian spring) and March to May (autumn) are the most comfortable nationwide. June to August is peak season for the Top End and the reef but cooler in the south. December to February is hot - great for southern beaches but very humid up north.
Do I need a visa to visit Australia from the UK?
Yes. UK passport holders need an Electronic Travel Authority (subclass 601) for tourist visits up to three months. It's quick and inexpensive to apply online via the official Australian Government portal.
How much does a two-week Australia trip from the UK cost?
Budget roughly £3,000-£4,500 per person for a mid-range two-week trip including flights from the UK, mid-range hotels, internal flights, tours and food. AUBIS lets you build a live budget so you can adjust as you go.
Can I book Australian tours in advance from the UK?
Yes - all tours on AUBIS are bookable online with secure card payment via Rezdy Pay (powered by Stripe). You'll get instant confirmation and email vouchers, ideal for booking ahead from the UK.
What's the time difference between the UK and Australia?
Sydney is 9-11 hours ahead of the UK depending on daylight saving in both countries. Perth is 7-8 hours ahead. AUBIS shows times in your local timezone and the destination's timezone.
Do I need to plan separate trips for Australia and New Zealand?
Many UK travellers combine the two. AUBIS supports both countries in a single itinerary, so you can fly Sydney-Auckland and keep tour bookings, drive times and budget all in one plan.
