The seeds for this journey were planted back in the fall of 2023. As a travel professional, I know that the best experiences aren't just booked—they’re curated. For months, I’ve dedicated countless hours to webinars, research, and deep-dive discussions with top-tier tour operators to ensure every detail of this trip is perfect. I got quotes from three tour operators and ultimately settled on Goway. They had helped me with my South Africa & Botswana tour and I knew they were the right company to use for this very important tour.
My goal was simple but ambitious: design a tour that captures the "must-see" highlights of the South Pacific while maintaining a comfortable, easy-to-enjoy pace.
New Zealand: Islands of Wonder
Our exploration will span both the North and South Islands. I’ve prioritized a true immersion into the rich Māori culture and the country's unique history. In addition to viewing the awe-inspiring natural landscapes, flora & fauna, we’ll be indulging in the local culinary bounty that makes New Zealand a world-class destination.
Australia: Roots & Wildlife
In Australia, we’ll trace the ancient Aboriginal roots and history that define the continent. While the food culture and landscapes are spectacular, I’ll admit my personal priority: getting up close with Australia’s iconic wildlife. I can’t wait to see the Koalas, Kangaroos, and Penguins! I even included a free day in Sydney so I could go to the Taronga Zoo!
