A world of wonders awaits on this amazing 28 day fully guided Highlights of Australia and New Zealand Escorted Tour.

This month-long tour starts in Singapore where you will enjoy a half day tour and free time to explore before travelling to Sydney. In Sydney you will enjoy a full-day guided tour of the city and its harbour taking in sites such as the iconic Sydney Opera House. We will continue by coach through Kings Cross, Rushcutters Bay and Watsons Bay, before stopping at the world-famous Bondi Beach!

Travelling across Australia you will admire magnificent sites like the fabulous Blue Mountains, Ayers Rock, the Great Barrier Reef and Queensland. In the town of Katoomba you will experience a thrilling ride on the world’s steepest incline Railway that descends into the valley. A 900-foot boardwalk will take us to the base of the “Sceniscender” cable car for the trip back to the top, enjoying another perspective of the Blue Mountains.

You will then travel to New Zealand, to take a scenic journey across the beautiful Canterbury Plains, visit the highlights of Queenstown, Christchurch and Auckland and their surrounding areas. In Lake Tekapo we will visit the Church of the Good Shepherd and the famous bronze statue of the sheep dog; an Instagram moment! We will also travel to Rotorua North Island to experience the stunning living Maori village of Whakarewarewa.

Your journey home includes a 1-night stopover in Bangkok to round off this incredible holiday.
