An adventure holiday in Australia lingers long in the memory, from the rich reds of iconic Uluru, to the vibrancy of Sydney and the tropical east coast, Australia is a country of big skies, spectacular views and remarkable people.

Its southerly neighbour New Zealand is no less spectacular and it is hard to comprehend the contrasting beauty packed into a relatively small area. Experience the Alps of South Island, the isolated wilderness of Stewart Island, the Maori culture in Rotorua and the bustle of Auckland in the North. For those after something different, we recommend taking a voyage around the Bay of Islands aboard the tallship Soren Larsen.
