Hobart
With its unique culture and wildlife, Tasmania is a fascinating destination to visitors from afar, or just across the sea.

Sydney
Gaze at the iconic Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, walk the historic Rocks district, or hit the trendy Bondi Beach.

Picton
Glacial mountains, waterways, and charming villages provide the perfect backdrop to sip on the region’s famed white wines.

Napier
From rafting to shopping in an Art Deco city center, it’s all sleek to chic in the stylish “Nice of the Pacific.”

Tauranga
Tauranga offers plenty of adrenaline-filled thrills, or those looking to relax seaside — or natural hot saltwater pool-side.

Auckland
Beaches, mountains, and a vibrant city center — Auckland is the perfect place to begin and end a journey of a lifetime.
