Canberra Floriade Tour

This full-day Canberra tour is built around spring flowers and garden stops, with transport and entry fees included. You’ll visit three places with different takes on local plant life: the National Botanic Gardens, the Floriade Festival and Tulip Tops, a private garden estate known for its tulip displays. It’s a more structured sightseeing day than an independent wander, so it suits travellers who want an easy plan, local guide commentary and a comfortable way to see the main seasonal highlights without sorting out transport themselves.

The day starts with pickup from major hotel and motel chains before heading out by tour vehicle. One stop is the National Botanic Gardens, where you’ll learn more about Australian native plants and how they adapt to local conditions. You’ll also spend time at Floriade, the city’s big spring flower festival, with large-scale displays featuring more than 300,000 blooms. The third stop is Tulip Tops, a private garden estate with colourful tulip plantings in a quieter setting. The full experience runs for around seven hours including travel time.
