| Australia and New Zealand are full of amazing natural landscapes, vibrant cities and modern attractions. There’s so much of interest it’s not surprising visitors return inspired and excited about their experiences.
With today’s non-stop flights from Vancouver to both Sydney and Auckland, it’s easier than ever to visit both countries.
New Zealand is compact and can be covered, top to bottom, in a couple of weeks.
Across the Tasman Sea lies Australia. This vast country has many areas catering to visitors that are long distances apart.
Combining both countries is an adventure of a lifetime as you see two of the most fascinating countries in the world – from spectacular Fjordland National Park, New Zealand to Ayers Rock, Australia and everything surrounding these amazing places.

- For the outdoor adventurer, trekking, bird and wildlife viewing are safe and pleasant in New Zealand as there are no natural predators or snakes. Take a hike on White Island, an active marine volcano or through the Waitomo Caves to glow worm grotto. Go bungee jumping where it was invented, in Queenstown, the capital of extreme adventure activity.

The area is part of Uluru – Kata Tjuta National Park which is Aboriginal land and one of the few World Heritage properties listed for both natural and cultural importance. Experience Aboriginal culture at the visitors centre and music and dance shows.
