Itinerary

Just how incredible are Australia and New Zealand, you ask? So great that you still couldn’t see it for all it's worth on this 38-day adventure. Starting in Sydney, you’ll fly to the famed Red Centre and have a chance to witness Uluru at sunrise. Then travel south down the East Coast, filled with beautiful beach, kangaroos, wallabies and all the crazy Australian wildlife you could hope to see. After three weeks, fly to New Zealand’s North Island first, then down to the South Island for even more fun Down Under.

Our overall experience was very positive. We were able to see the things we wanted to see. Some of the travel was long but that is the size of the countries. Would recommend it to others.
