Australia, New Zealand and Fiji
This trip of a lifetime takes us through three
countries, five climate zones, and some of the
best adventures on Earth – including snorkelling,
yachting, and climbing glaciers.
We begin our trip in Sydney, and take some
time to explore this lively and growing city.
From there, we leave for the Whitsunday
Islands and settle into our base in the surf
town of Airlie Beach. Then, it’s off to cruise
to the Great Barrier Reef and snorkel the
most spectacular marine environment in the
world. Our Australian adventure will finish
with a spectacular two-day sail around the
Whitsundays on twin racing yachts.
Once
in New Zealand, we will begin in
Wellington, on the beautiful North island.
Here we will explore the local culture through
art galleries and museums. Next, we take a
ferry to the South island, and after a scenic
drive to the mountains we can hike the Fox
Glacier! Finally, in adventurous Queenstown,
we will ski the “Remarkables”, one of the
best ski areas in the country, and take in a
traditional Maori cultural show.
Our
program will culminate in a resort
stay in Fiji, where where we will enjoy
beachcombing, swimming, and a South Pacific
celebration before heading home.
