Itinerary
Traveling solo doesn’t mean traveling alone—especially on this energizing 25-day "Solo-ish Down-Under" trip. Starting in Auckland and ending in Cairns, you’ll journey the length of New Zealand, from Māori cultural immersion and Kiwi cooking classes to the wild beauty of Franz Josef. Continue to Australia for a 4x4 wildlife adventure on French Island, a deep dive into Indigenous history at Uluru, and time at the Great Barrier Reef’s doorstep.
Tailored for experienced travelers with a moderate activity level, this small group tour offers camaraderie and flexibility, letting you share adventures or carve out solo moments as you please. The USP: a built-in community of fellow explorers and expert guides, ensuring you feel at home—whether you’re hiking, learning, or simply soaking in the spectacular scenery.
