From Sydney’s glittering harbor to Tasmania’s wild peninsulas and on to New Zealand’s Southern Alps and coastal wine country, this journey blends iconic sights with insider moments. Expect easy-paced city exploring, wildlife encounters (yes, penguins and kangaroos), epic coastal drives, fjord-and-glacier scenery by air and water, and time to slow down among vineyards, markets, and art-filled towns.

Top 6 Highlights of New Zealand + Australia

  • Milford Sound by Helicopter and Boat See glaciers and waterfalls from the air, then drop down to glide beneath sheer cliffs on the fjord itself. Two perspectives, one unforgettable place.

  • The Evening Penguin Parade at Phillip Island Every night at dusk, the world's smallest penguins waddle ashore from the sea in a procession that's been happening for thousands of years. It's exactly as charming as it sounds.

  • MONA, Tasmania Fast-ferry across the Derwent River to one of the world's most talked-about museums — part art collection, part provocation, part architecture experience. Budget the full day.

  • Wineglass Bay from the Water One of Australia's most photographed bays looks even better from a boat. Cruise into Freycinet National Park's pink-granite coastline, then stretch your legs on the national park trails.

  • Arrowtown, Gold Rush History & the Shotover Canyon Step into a gold-rush-era village that's barely changed, taste local food and wine, then trade the quiet streets for a jet boat tearing through narrow canyon walls. The contrast is the point.

  • Marlborough Sounds, Seafood & Sauvignon Blanc Cruise calm waterways at the top of New Zealand's South Island, learn how the region's aquaculture actually works, and pair freshly harvested seafood with crisp local wine. No better introduction to Marlborough.
