Australia & New Zealand
One of Australia's most iconic features is its stunning natural beauty. From the otherworldly landscapes of the Outback to the lush rainforests of Queensland's Daintree National Park and the pristine beaches that stretch along the coasts, the country is a haven for nature enthusiasts. The Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef system, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it offers incredible opportunities for snorkelling and diving.
Explore the astonishing natural beauty of dual-island New Zealand, where jade-green mountains plunge into the sea and forest-fringed beaches stretch for miles. You’ll discover enchanting cities like cool Auckland, Scottish-influenced Dunedin, and art deco Napier. Add to the mix the ancient Māori culture and a sophisticated food and wine scene for an unforgettable vacation.
