GLOBUS 2026: Down Under Journey with Fiji (PTE)

23 Days from Sydney to Coral Coast

Crikey! If you've always wanted a complete tour of Down Under, with no red stone left uncovered, this is it. Doubling the fun with sightseeing in Australia and New Zealand, this exciting vacation covers Australia's vibrant cities, golden beaches, and mystical Red Center as well as New Zealand's North and South Islands . As you hop from Sydney to Cairns to Uluru to Melbourne, you'll marvel at the architectural masterpieces of Australia's renowned cities, the natural wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, and a special highlight of this encompassing journey-an awe-inspiring dinner under the starlit Outback sky. From Rotorua's boiling mud pools to Waitomo's Glowworm Caves, the stunning sites keep coming with the hottest-and coolest-sights of New Zealand. Aptly named 'The Remarkables,' the South Island's mountain range sets the tone for the incredible sights you'll see throughout the land of the kiwi-and the home of the kangaroo.

Did you know the koala sleeps an average of 20 hours a day? You'll enjoy three nights in Fiji to dream about your tour of Australia and New Zealand while snoozing in a beachside hammock yourself. Between naps, you'll enjoy a Sigatoka River Safari and the sun, fun, and genuine warmth of the islanders.
