Itinerary
Embark on a trans-Tasman odyssey with the "Journeys: Iconic Australia and New Zealand" tour, a 23-day exploration designed for experienced and senior travelers eager to experience both countries’ highlights. Beginning in Auckland, you’ll feast with Maori hosts in Rotorua and cruise the untamed fjords of New Zealand’s South Island. In Queenstown, adrenaline and stunning scenery go hand in hand. Crossing to Australia, savor Melbourne’s culinary delights, go backstage at the Sydney Opera House, and snorkel the Great Barrier Reef. Cap off your journey learning from the Kuku Yalanji community in Queensland. The unique selling point? This trip offers a harmonious blend of cultural encounters, natural wonders, and gourmet experiences, all in a fully guided, small-group package.
