Cairns Natural landmarks sightseeing Trips

Just the right amount of guided tour and free time to explore. Enjoyed every minute of it. The Sydney Harbor tour, Sydney Opera House, The tours of the glacial lake in New Zealand and trying news foods in both countries.

This was an ambitious tour that covered the highlights of New Zealand's south island, the Great Barrier Reef, and Sydney. The New Zealand portion of the trip was my favorite. The scenery is stunning, and the excursions were unique and interesting, including a cruise on Milford Sound and a trip to a working sheep ranch. Our Collette guide was fantastic--she went out of her way to answer every question and address every concern. Our time in Sydney was great. The only disappointment was the day spent at the Great Barrier Reef, which felt rushed. All in all, though, it was a great tour!

Truly wonderful trip. Cruising down the Norman River into the Gulf & also Cobbold Gorge. Train travel on both Savannahlander and Gulflander. Staying in train carriages for accommodation and viewing the lava tubes. This trip was so well organised by our fantastic driver Andrea who went out of his way to keep everyone happy. Don’t miss this great experience.

The Fiji people were SO friendly , beautiful, happy and caring!!! I got to attend La Traviata at the Sydney appears House!!! Wow!! Loved the beauty of the places we saw and loved the animals!!! Amazing number of trip activities - it was packed with highlights!!! Awesome tour!

There were so many memorable things we did on this trip from the ride on the gondola to the steamboat to the Opera House the Great Barrier Reef the animals of Australia etc. This trip was an experience of a lifetime.

The tour was overall--excellent. Our tour guide, Clare Martin, was exceptionally good. She was knowledgeable, organized, friendly and had a great sense of humor. There were times I was aware that she was rearranging things because something seemed to have gone wrong, but she never made it obvious, or bragged that she was the one fixing things. We had one really dud bus driver in Queenstown who did some pretty significant damage to both dinner one night and to our daytime activity the next day, but drivers were good other than that guy. We loved getting to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, taking the extra trip to see where parts of the Lord of the Rings were filmed, and visiting the nature and animals parks. Our visits with the Maori and the Aborigines were fascinating and very well-planned. We loved both New Zealand and Australia. We booked extra time before our trip in NZ to see Hobbiton and wished we had done the same in A. to see more of Sydney.
