Hunter Valley Gardens Christmas Lights Spectacular from Sydney

Meet your comfortable climate-controlled coach at one of five easy-to-access departure locations in Sydney, then relax during the scenic 2-hour drive to the Hunter Valley.

When you arrive in the early evening, enjoy the sunset as you have a delicious dinner of Australian barbecue at the Hunter Resort, just a few minutes down the road from the gardens. You'll be in the perfect location to feast your eyes on millions of sparkling light displays as the gardens light up for the night.

Inside Hunter Valley Gardens, stroll around themed light displays made from more than one million lights and designed specifically for this 20-acre oasis of manicured gardens. Expect to find the North Pole, Candyland, Cinderella’s Castle, a fairy garden, giant Christmas trees and more, all brightly shining with festive colors. Younger kids love the Storybook Garden, where characters like Humpty Dumpty and Alice in Wonderland are portrayed in statues inspired by these children's classics.

Kids can also take a photo with Santa Claus and hop on board the amusement rides (own expense). To add to the celebration, musicians and carolers roam the gardens performing throughout the night

After several hours of taking in the lights and entertainment at Hunter Valley’s Christmas Lights Spectacular, re-board your coach to return to Sydney, arriving around 11pm to end your tour.
