You'll witness first hand unique cultures like that of Australia's Aboriginals and New Zealand's native Maori civilization. Your adventure begins in Cairns, an ideal setting-off point for the Great Barrier Reef. The majestic coral structures that make up the reef are home to the most diverse animal and plant ecosystem on earth. Your visit to Victorian Melbourne is where you'll enjoy a tour of Fitzroy Gardens and view the Little Penguin Parade on Phillip Island.

Cook before setting off for Queenstown and a cruise of Milford Sound, a spectacular fjord.3530Welcome to the South Pacific and a journey that will introduce you to the many diverse regions of both Australia and New Zealand!
