Canberra, the capital city, is not only famous for its magnificent architectural works but also for the fresh air and pristine natural environment of the highlands. Visiting Corin Forest in Canberra is an ideal snow play experience for families and children, with fun activities such as tobogganing, snow sliding, building snowmen, and snowball fights... Moreover, Vietbooking takes you and your family on a scenic tour around the capital, showcasing its most beautiful landscapes and majestic landmarks. A special highlight is viewing Canberra from a hot air balloon – a truly breathtaking, romantic, and unique experience.
This tour is suitable for guests from both Sydney and Melbourne!
TOUR PROGRAM:
Day 1:
+ Goulburn: A small city known for sheep grazing. This is an interesting rest stop where you can visit the wool production museum and souvenir shop.
+ Corin Forest: Enjoy a full day of snow activities: tobogganing, skiing, snowman building, and fun in the snow.

You’ll fly for one hour before sunrise to catch the breathtaking morning view over the capital, accompanied by champagne and fruit in the sky to welcome the new day.
+ Lake Burley Griffin: A beautiful man-made lake at the heart of the capital. A relaxing stop by the lake will soothe you after the long journey from Sydney. With scenic views and playful birds and rabbits in the park, you'll capture many memorable photos by the lake or at the Captain James Cook Memorial.
+ Royal Australian Mint: Money is often associated with being “cold” or dull, but the Royal Australian Mint is anything but. As the nation’s official coin mint, it also serves as a beautiful and meaningful museum, full of hidden secrets and interesting facts. Vietbooking will guide you through this fascinating discovery.
+ Capital Hill – Parliament House: A symbol of democracy – the people. Hence, the center of Canberra is Parliament House, located atop a picturesque hill. Australia's Parliament House is among the largest in the world, occupying the entire hilltop. Visitors will explore not only a stunning government building but also learn the story of Australia's formation, the British constitutional monarchy, and more. From here, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city. All major avenues converge at Capital Hill, leaving guests in awe of the meticulous and beautiful city planning.
