Australia and New Zealand Vacation Package
Our 25 Day Australia and New Zealand Vacation Package tour itinerary below was designed for a couple from Calgary Alberta, Canada. They contacted their Australia and New Zealand Travel Experts in need of assistance to design an amazing 25-day itinerary. We had a lot of fun tailor-making their dream trip which encompassed the southern regions of Australia where they could enjoy some famous Australian wine and a self-drive tour in New Zealand.
The layout below is just a guideline on where you could go with the same amount of time to travel to these regions. No prices are listed in this package as our experts customize all itineraries around our client’s individual wants and needs. Your Australia and New Zealand Travel Experts can extend, shorten, or design you a whole bespoke new itinerary that is customized just for you.
We look forward to sending you on a trip of a lifetime!
