When you are looking at a land package to Australia / New Zealand figure you are going to double the land cost listed once you include Trans-Pacific airfare and the intra tour segments. Each stop in Australia / New Zealand (Ayers Rock, Tasmania, Barrier Reef, North and South Islands) usually adds $1000 so you should research those activities to see if you want to include the cost. We are able to add stopovers in Fiji but again that adds about $1500 per person for 2 days. As I said earlier many cruise lines have moved ships to the Australian / New Zealand market. Some ships sail 7 nights from Sydney but are more programmed for locals and their kids to go on vacation. Other lines like Holland America, Princess, Celebrity and Royal Caribbean are deployed more for exploration of Australia and New Zealand ports if you are flying in from the Western Hemisphere.Feedback we have received is that New Zealand is prettier than Australia but also less developed if you have mobility issues. New Zealand features a lot of coastal towns so it is the highlight of many cruise itineraries departing from Sydney or Auckland. While we have not traveled to this part of the world our experience is tour operators helps us with the logistics of getting you to the opposite end of the world. We have the best vendors for this region so we are always a phone call away from experts when we book you to Australia, New Zealand or the South Pacific.BOOK AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND WITH OUR TRAVEL AGENCY
Australia - New Zealandand The South PacificOur agency sells a few trips to Australia and New Zealand every year. Mostly we do escorted trips down south as you are visiting a large land area that includes intra tour flights so group movements via airplane and motorcoach make sense. Depending on what you want to see cruise ships can become an option as they are an efficient way to visit New Zealand (many of the cities are on the coast) and they add stops in Sydney, Melbourne and Tasmania sometimes to round out trip. Finally, we have programmed some fly/drives in Australia/New Zealand but they are really fly/fly/ferry/drives with the intra-tour flight segments and they have tended to run 30 to 60 days. The typical cruise is 10-14 days and same with most land tours run 7-21 days.Since you cross the International Dateline on the way there the 24 hours flight time seems like two days on the calendar. Flight prices are competitive and we usually buy the overwater and intra tour air segments from the tour company in many instances. All the flights are usually cheaper if they are packaged with contract airfare from California or your home gateway. Given the length of the flights we have had clients stopover in LAX or another gateway airport to break up the flights. This is especially helpful on the way home. We also have air contracts with long haul carriers so we can get you there no matter what your plans are once you arrive.
