Everything down here runs the other way round.
Christmas on the beach, a reef the size of a country, and a South Island where the road simply stops at the fjord. Fortune Tours handles the distance.
Two big countries, and a scatter of islands between them.
Australia and New Zealand end up on the same booking and share almost nothing. Australia is scale, a reef visible from orbit and drives measured in days rather than hours. New Zealand packs glaciers, fjords and vineyards into a country you can cross in a morning. Fiji and the Cook Islands are the slow finish. And the seasons run backwards from ours, so the right months are rarely the ones people assume.

One country is a full trip. Two is the trip of a lifetime.
Most people arrive wanting Australia or wanting New Zealand, and leave having done both. Either is a sensible place to start.
Distance is the part that catches people out.
Long flights, reversed seasons, two visas that both take time, and internal legs nobody thinks to budget for. All of it gets settled before you leave.
20 Years of Experience
Two decades of long-haul routes out of Kerala, and the mistakes are all behind us.
Seasons Read the Right Way
December is high summer down there. We plan with that rather than against it.
All-Inclusive Pricing
Internal flights, transfers and entry fees. The number we quote is the number you pay.
Trusted Ground Partners
Operators in both countries we have worked with for years.
Dedicated Support
A tour manager travels with the group and absorbs the logistics.
Visa Assistance
Australia and New Zealand both require applications before travel. Ours start early.
Four ways to cross the bottom of the world.
Reef, mountain, city or lagoon. Say which one sounds like you and the rest gets easier.
Reef & Rainforest
Great Barrier Reef, the Daintree and Cairns
Coral straight off the boat, empty islands, and the oldest rainforest on earth running down to sand.
Mountains & Fjords
Queenstown, Milford Sound and the Southern Alps
Glaciers you walk on, cliffs coming straight out of dark water, and roads that make you stop constantly.
Cities & Coast Roads
Sydney, Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road
A harbour city that lives outdoors, a coffee city that argues about it, and rock stacks offshore.
Islands & Lagoons
Fiji, Bora Bora and Aitutaki
Rooms built over the water, a lagoon warm all day, and a fortnight without driving anywhere.
Two places people wish they had stayed longer.
Explore TasmaniaTasmania
Hobart + Cradle Mountain + Freycinet. Wilderness on one side, convict ruins on the other, and food that quietly outclasses the mainland.
Explore Rotorua and the Bay of IslandsRotorua and the Bay of Islands
Rotorua + Waitomo + Paihia. Geysers and mud pools, a cave roof lit by glowworms, and Maori culture met properly rather than staged.
