About the trip

This G Adventures small-group tour covers New Zealand's North and South Islands before heading to Australia's key locations. Starting in Rotorua, there’s a Maori feast that sets the cultural tone. From there, heading south to cruise through Fiordland National Park offers encounters with fjord landscapes rich in wildlife. The thrill seekers can take in Queenstown, the self-styled adventure capital, known for its spectacular lake and mountainous backdrop.

The journey continues across the Tasman Sea to Australia. Melbourne's walking lunch highlights the city's cafés and laneways. Sydney offers a behind-the-scenes look at its Opera House, a complex of concert halls recognised worldwide. The Great Barrier Reef is another highlight, with a snorkeling excursion amidst a variety of marine life. Concluding in Queensland, you spend time with the Kuku Yalanji community, adding a thoughtful note to the final days. Weather and schedules may require some flexibility, something best approached with patience in this sprawling and varied itinerary.
