New Zealand and Australia are two of the most beautiful destinations in the entire world. They are home to natural wonders, world-class cities, and some of the best cultural experiences imaginable. If you’re looking to cross an international favourite off your bucket list or experience the best of nature and culture, head south to New Zealand and Australia. Heading south with APT brings the added value of expert planning, luxury inclusions, and all-in-one travel convenience.

All vacation packages with APT are easy to book and take the hassle out of travel. Spend 20 days venturing from Christchurch to Auckland on Essence of New Zealand, stopping off at Aoraki/Mt. Cook, Dunedin, Queenstown, Milford Sound, Wellington, Napier, and Rotorua along the way. Or venture to Australia’s Northern Territory with the 7-day Red Centre Escape and connect with Indigenous Australian traditions while touring natural landmarks such as Uluru and Kata Tjuta and exploring quintessential Outback towns such as Alice Springs.

All APT packages are split between escorted coach tours and rail journeys, as well as premier escorted vacations and value-plus escorted vacations, which offer inspiring luxury travel for different budget levels. Regardless of the level of budget you choose, you’ll enjoy hand-picked accommodations, signature experiences that allow you to live in the moment, and locally-inspired dining that captures the essence of a destination. You can also enjoy Freedom of Choice options to customize your journey with cultural, culinary, active, and nature-based excursions that play to your interests, while still being a part of a small group of other travellers.
