Journeys
This 47-night escorted holiday by Travelsphere takes you from Perth’s Indian Ocean shores, through Adelaide and the iconic Great Ocean Road, to the red heart of the Outback at Uluru and Alice Springs. Along the way, Kangaroo Island’s wildlife, Kakadu National Park’s rock art and the vibrant cities of Sydney and Melbourne add variety to the route.
From Cairns, a day on the Great Barrier Reef brings coral colonies and clownfish close, before the tour crosses to New Zealand. Auckland’s harbour views and the Bay of Islands contrast with the geothermal activity around Rotorua. The TranzAlpine train slices through the Southern Alps, leading to glacier country and Queenstown, New Zealand’s adventure capital.
The tour includes Milford Sound’s deep waters and waterfalls, and unique sights like the Moeraki Boulders and Dunedin’s Scottish heritage. It closes with Christchurch’s gardens and historic buildings. The pace allows for stretches of leisure time alongside guided tours, making it a thorough passage through two countries with much natural and cultural variety.
