Crisscrossing the continent on this all-Australia itinerary – from cosmopolitan Sydney to ancient Uluru (Ayers Rock), the magnificent Great Barrier Reef to colonial Adelaide, and wild Tasmania to beloved Melbourne – we enjoy ample free time, diverse small group highlights, and the hospitality of one of the world’s friendliest cultures.
Small group touring and the Lands Down Under – they add up to a perfect combination as we travel from Australia’s sophisticated Sydney, sacred Uluru (Ayers Rock), and the wondrous Great Barrier Reef to New Zealand’s towering Aoraki/Mt. Cook and breathtaking Milford Sound, plus Queenstown, Rotorua, and Auckland.
It’s a tale of two islands as our small group journeys from New Zealand’s North to its South, through lively cities and pristine fiords, past lush farmland and enchanted forests in a land where the outdoors is the national shrine. Add engaging “Kiwis” and traditional Māori culture – it’s a pure New Zealand experience.
