Get your fill of world-defining landscapes and culture in this pair of sun-soaked countries.

Aussie or Kiwi? The Land Down Under or the Land of the Long White Cloud? When trekking to Oceania, you shouldn’t have to choose between visiting Australia or New Zealand—so we wrapped both into one itinerary. On this tour, you’ll get a good look at the finest these two countries have to offer (think: the teeming waters of the Great Barrier Reef and the peak-framed panorama of Fiordland National Park). And if you want to fully recharge before returning to real life, tack on the extension to Fiji.

Good Overall Tour/Lacks Indigenous Culture

4 out of 5 stars

3rd-time traveler Janet, traveled in May 2025

Good tour for an overview, but did not have anything included in the tour itinerary, or offered as an optional, to explore the indigenous cultures of Australia or New Zealand. Specifically, I feel at least, one of the overnights in Auckland, would have been more interesting, if...
