Australia
We will fly from Toronto to Sydney, where we will spend our first two nights acclimatizing and exploring this lively and growing city. From there, we will fly right into the tropical Whitsunday Islands and settle into our beachfront base at Club Crocodile. Barefoot, we will take classes in the morning and enjoy the surf town of Airlie Beach in the afternoon.

We will also cruise out to the Great Barrier Reef, where we will snorkel or dive (optional) in one of the most spectacular marine environments in the world. Our Australian adventure will finish with a spectacular three-day sail around the Whitsundays on our 83-foot racing yachts.

New Zealand
We will then fly on to New Zealand, landing in Christchurch on the South Island and making our way south to the Fox Glacier before settling into Queenstown, the country’s adventure capital. From here we will ski (or opt to heli-ski) the “Remarkables,” perhaps try the world’s highest bungee jump, or raft in the National Park.

Fiji
The trip will culminate in Fiji, where we will stay at a beautiful exotic resort and enjoy optional diving, beachcombing, and a South Pacific celebration before heading home.
