Australia & New Zealand Tours
Combination tours with itineraries ranging from 31 to 56 days long.
If you can’t decide whether to take a guided tour of Australia or one of New Zealand, don’t worry as you can do them both. For the ultimate adventure Down Under, our combination tours offer ultimate exploration at exceptional value.
Australia is a whole new world, where ancient Aboriginal cultures contrast with cosmopolitan cities such as Melbourne to create a deliciously diverse experience. The unique and unrivalled landscapes of the outback, Alice Springs and Uluru – combined with the tropical treats of Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef – are just some of the highlights you can expect on a tour of Australia.
Now picture yourself in New Zealand, standing below magnificent mountain peaks and ancient volcanoes, unable to even imagine the top; admiring the vast fiords stretching as far as the eye can see; being enveloped in the amazing colours and sounds of a rainforest; and unwinding on beaches so pristine, they’re almost too good to be true. Well, that is what you can look forward to on one of our escorted tours to Australia & New Zealand.
Our 31-day Highlights of Australia and New Zealand itinerary perfectly packages the best of these incredible destinations into one amazing tour. If you have a little more time, we have also paired together some of our most popular Australasia itineraries to create two unforgettable holidays. Discover more with our 50-day New Zealand by Rail, Road and Sea & The Very Best of Australia and our 56-day The Very Best of New Zealand & The Very Best of Australia combination tours.
