New packages linked to Melbourne direct flight
Itineraries designed to ease travel between Australia's two major cities
Modoo Tour is expanding its Australia package lineup with new products combining Sydney and Melbourne, timed to Korean Air's launch of a direct service to Melbourne.
The travel company announced Monday that it has released a series of Australia packages linking the two cities to coincide with Korean Air's new direct route to Melbourne.
The packages take advantage of the direct flights to reduce transit time and bundle attractions, nature and dining experiences across both cities. Standard packages include local sightseeing, while the premium brand Modu Signature adds exclusive experiences and convenience services.
The flagship product, the "Korean Air Direct Sydney-Melbourne Package," covers major landmarks in both cities. In Melbourne, travelers visit the Great Ocean Road coastline and the café-lined Degraves Street.
The Sydney portion includes an interior tour of the Opera House, a visit to Featherdale Wildlife Park and access to four attractions at Blue Mountains Scenic World. In Port Stephens, the itinerary features a 4WD vehicle ride, sandboarding and a dolphin cruise, with additional stops at Murree's Winery, the University of Sydney and an observatory.
The premium "Sydney, Melbourne, Great Ocean Road & Hunter Valley 7-Day" package is structured with no tipping and no optional add-ons, eliminating extra costs for travelers. Shopping center visits are capped at two to keep the schedule efficient. The product includes a Great Ocean Road helicopter tour and a Hunter Valley winery tour, and grants access to a Sydney Airport lounge with shower facilities. Details on all products are available on Modoo Tour's official website and mobile app.
"Korean Air's new direct service to Melbourne has made it significantly easier to travel between Australia's two major cities, so we have expanded our product lineup to combine a wider range of sightseeing and hands-on experiences," a Modoo Tour official said. "We are also preparing a separate promotional event to mark the launch of the direct route."
