Grand tours in Australasia

Luxury Australasia Grand Tours made for you

Immerse yourself in the wonders of Australia and New Zealand with a grand tour designed just for you

Delve into the best of Australasia

Australasia is a truly spellbinding region, with vast and varied landscapes of mountains, gorges, deserts and rain-forests, fascinating ancient cultures and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world; here there is something for everybody. For those with a love for the great outdoors and a keen sense of adventure, Australia and New Zealand‘s offerings are large.

If you’re keen to immerse yourself into culture, visit the quaint coffee shops and street art in Melbourne, the iconic Sydney Opera House, or the set of Lord of The Ring’s Hobbiton over in New Zealand. Delve into the Māori way of life and learn the origins of their famed haka, and understand more about First Nations’ traditions in the Australian Outback. Those who venture to Papua New Guinea can get a glimpse into tribal traditions that are very much kept alive today and discover its outstanding wildlife.

Why not combine your grand tour of Australasia with another beautiful region, the South Pacific. Here you’ll find the idyllic islands of Fiji and French Polynesia. The glorious beaches and brilliant blue seas lend themselves to a variety of water activities as well as simple relaxation, the perfect way to end a memorable grand tour.

When to visit

Due to Australia ‘s vast size, different regions have different weather throughout the year. The best time to visit Australia depends on which regions you’re interested in visiting. The best time for the Great Barrier Reef is from April to October, with April and May being slightly quieter shoulder months. Peak season for the southern islands runs from December to March and New South Wales is temperate year-round. The best time to visit the Outback is between April and October, when the daytime weather is slightly cooler. The best time to visit New Zealand is all about when you can enjoy the great outdoors. Their summer – January and February – sees some of the best weather but it is also the busiest time of year. Visiting during the spring (March to April) and autumn (November to December) is a good option, as the weather is still warm but the main sites tend to be less busy.
