Each is full of adventure
On a trip to Australia and New Zealand, you’ll soon find that both countries offer adventure in the bucket load. From rock climbing and glacier walking to helicopter tours over the Great Barrier Reef or Sydney’s Harbour, each unique landscape can be experienced differently.
You can drive along Ocean Road…
If you’re thinking about what to see in Australia, we’d recommend what is often the ultimate highlight for many – the Ocean Road drive. The illustrious 12 Apostles rock formation is an unbelievable sight, and if you catch it as the sun is setting, it’s even better.
And explore the Cave of Wonders…
After witnessing Australia’s 12 Apostles, a fascinating attraction you really must check off your ‘what to see in New Zealand’ list is the mystical Cave of Wonders. You can tour through the caves on foot or by boat and see the stalactites dropping from the cave ceiling. Even more exciting are the glow-worms that reside there, creating a sight that could only be compared to that of a wonderful clear night’s sky, covered in stars.
The amazing rail journeys
Trips to Australia and New Zealand are always going to involve shorter trips between destinations. However, both countries offer amazing scenic rail journeys that will take you from one fantastic place to another, such as The Ghan which travels from Darwin to Adelaide in Australia, and the TranzAlpine from Christchurch to Greymouth in New Zealand.
If you can imagine a trip that incorporates all of this, and so much more, there is no way you would want to miss out discovering the iconic landmarks and unique natural beauty each country has to offer. With the best of Australia and New Zealand perfectly packaged into a combined tour down under, it really would be a trip of a lifetime.
