G Adventures - Best of Down Under: Australia & New Zealand

Discover the cultural and natural highlights of New Zealand and Australia on an epic 23-day adventure. Start off on New Zealand’s North Island with a Maori feast in Rotorua; then head south to cruise through majestic, wildlife-rich fjords. Queenstown—the adventure capital of the world—will serve up a healthy dose of adrenaline before we fly to Australia and eat our way through Melbourne on a walking lunch. Go behind the scenes at the Sydney Opera House, and dive in to explore the Great Barrier Reef on a snorkeling excursion.

No one should ever have to choose between adventuring across Australia or New Zealand — so we created this 29-day tour that hits the highlights of both. Featuring guided walks through the Daintree Rainforest, Doubtful Sound day-cruises in Fiordland National Park, a cultural experience and visit to a Maori village, and heaps of other awesome experiences, this tour is proof you really can have the best of both worlds. Well, countries. But you get what we mean.

On this grand, wide-ranging journey, you’ll explore the two diverse and great countries that lie on the shores of the Tasman Sea. Very different in size, and each offering unique experiences and landscapes, New Zealand and Australia share a great reputation for warm hospitality and great cuisine. Discover crocodiles and kiwis, exciting cosmopolitan cities, the Great Barrier Reef, and stunning Milford Sound.
