About the trip

This small-group escorted tour by G Adventures covers a lively route through New Zealand's North Island and across to Australia's east coast. Starting in New Zealand, the journey includes a Māori cultural experience near Rotorua, and a chance to sail on Lake Taupo. Raglan offers time to take a surf lesson and enjoy sea kayaking before heading to Wellington, where a night out invites you to sample the city’s lively atmosphere.

Crossing to Australia, the tour spends time at Spot X surf camp to improve surf skills, and includes stops near Byron Bay, with a visit to Cape Byron Lighthouse and opportunities to spot local wildlife like koalas at the Daisy Hill Koala Centre. Sydney provides a paced orientation walk to take in key sights at a leisurely clip. The accommodation style is mostly multi-share hostels, reflecting the social style of the trip, while transport includes private vehicles, boats, and trains. Your trip concludes in Brisbane with plenty of memories and not a single wave surfed twice.
