In the past we’ve been slowly become content with run-of-the-mill travel experiences, that familiar trip down to the coast, that regular hotel you always stay at, but Imagine Holidays wants you to dream bigger.

Picture the iconic, stretching red sands of Australia’s Red Centre and the enchanting aura of Uluru, but instead of stopping there, add tickets to an intimate performance by superstar Guy Sebastian.

Throughout his seven ARIA awards and 69 platinum certifications-strong career, the famed Australian singer has performed for The Queen, Oprah Winfrey and the Pope, so why not add your own name to the list? As a bonus, fresh off her debut EP and winning The Voice
Australia 2021, Bella Taylor Smith will set the stage as the opening act.

And for just a modest upgrade you can also take your pick of upscale activities. Dream of a scenic helicopter flight, looking down on the famous red plains from above, an unforgettable Sounds of Silence Gala Dinner, where you can enjoy bush-tucker delicacies to a soundtrack of didgeridoo and outback ambience and a full tour of the West MacDonnell Ranges and all the rugged scenery and sacred sites that come with it.

Through careful curation, Imagine Holidays has designed not just an escape, but a multi-dimensional, holistic holiday experience that brings together culture, performance, scenery, and indulgence.

Depending on what exactly you want to treat yourself to and how many nights away you can spare, there’s a range of difference packages depending on what you’re after.
