Complimentary Destination

Australia

While exploring New Zealand’s dramatic landscapes, consider hopping across the Tasman Sea (known as ‘the ditch’ to locals) to experience Australia’s vast wonders. Just a three-hour flight from Auckland, Australia offers the perfect complement to your Kiwi adventure. From the iconic Sydney Opera House to the ancient spirituality of the Red Centre, and the spectacular Great Barrier Reef to sophisticated coastal cities, Australia’s diversity creates endless possibilities. Our expertise in both destinations ensures seamless connections and thoughtfully planned combinations that make the most of your time in each country.
