Australia and New Zealand

Iconic and breathtaking eco-luxury adventures

Let an expert travel designer
plan your custom trip:












Enchanting landscapes and unique wildlife

Australia and New Zealand lure travelers with their enchanting landscapes and unique wildlife, but they both have so much more to offer. Indigenous history, laid back culture, quality cuisine, award-winning wines, and picture-perfect beaches are just a taste of what you’ll experience. These island nations are full of wonders.

From the vibrant red terrain of the the Australia’s interior to the striking waters of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia is the ideal destination for an adventurous family vacation or a relaxing romantic escape. Explore national parks from Australia’s first conservation-based luxury resort in the Blue Mountains, learn about aboriginal culture on the coast of pristine Tasmania, and witness native marsupials in their natural habitats.

The breathtaking beauty of New Zealand is no longer a secret. For such a small country, it has a diverse landscape and a surprisingly high amount of remote terrain. Home to dramatic mountains and turquoise blue waters, New Zealand is a dream for trekkers who will enjoy navigating through lush valleys, refreshing streams, and waterfalls, taking in the epic views along the way.

“We absolutely LOVED New Zealand and all of the adventures, hotels, food, culture, etc!! Really a BEAUTIFUL part of the world. The itinerary was perfect!!!”
