Three months moving through Australia and New Zealand. Solo travelers who travel together—designed for people with time, curiosity, and zero interest in tours or packages.
The Great Barrier Reef before it's gone. Rainforest older than the Amazon. Beaches where you'll swim alone in January while the UK freezes. Endless daylight when the UK goes dark at 4pm. Wine regions that rival France but nobody's heard of them. Cities built around harbours, not highways. Mountains that look fake in photos but they're real.
One day a week is planned together — heli-hiking Franz Josef Glacier, sailing out of Sydney Harbour, snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef, a evening on horseback through vineyards. The rest of the time you shape your own days and tell everyone about it later.
This trip works for you if
You want adventure travel through Australia and New Zealand beyond Sydney and Auckland, are happy on domestic flights as you are on coastal drives, find joy not boredom in small wine towns, and approach things like Australian heat or New Zealand's changeable weather with curiosity. Most people on this trip are over 50, done with work or taking a break from it, and treating this like the gap year they never had.
Highlights
- The TranzAlpine train and the Interislander ferry – rated among the world's great scenic rail journeys, followed by the Cook Strait ferry crossing through the Marlborough Sounds
- Heli-hike, Franz Josef Glacier – helicopter access onto the glacier, guided walk on the ice, no technical experience needed
- Three roadtrips – the North Island in NZ, into the Outback, and up the Australian east coast
- Sydney Harbour by sail – a day on the water, under the bridge and past the Opera House
- Snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef – guided snorkel on the outer reef, one of the clearest access points on the coast
And so much more over the course of your 3 month adventure.
