Australia & New Zealand: A Month Down Under

This extended tour leads travellers through the varied landscapes of New Zealand and Australia, starting in Auckland and traversing both countries over five weeks. The itinerary includes renowned natural sites such as Abel Tasman National Park, Queenstown’s adventure activities, and the Great Barrier Reef near Cairns. A chance to paddle alongside seal colonies, visit Franz Josef's glacier town, and attend a Maori cultural experience invite close encounters with local environments and culture.

City visits include Wellington, Sydney, and Byron Bay, each offering their own pace and pleasures, from lighthouse walks to harbour orientation. Multi-share accommodation and a friendly group atmosphere form the backbone of this small-group G Adventures trip, led by a Chief Experience Officer who manages logistics and shares local insights. Travellers should be prepared for a mix of active days and some early starts, along with the occasional long transfer, and a variety of transport modes from trains to boats.

This trip keeps most meals flexible to suit individual preferences, with simple breakfasts typically included. Luggage limits and shared rooms require a modest packing approach. Updates to the itinerary may arise, reflecting the adventurous and sometimes unpredictable nature of travel in these regions.
