Discover Oceania's Gems

Australia is Oceania's most extraordinary and diverse travel destination — a vast continent of incredible natural wonders, vibrant cities, extraordinary wildlife, and the world's largest coral reef system. Top destinations for scuba diving in Oceania include the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest — the extraordinary Great Barrier Reef (stretching 2,300 kilometres along Queensland's coast) and the world's oldest Daintree Rainforest create an extraordinary concentration of UNESCO World Heritage natural wonders in tropical northern Australia. Phillip Island's extraordinary penguin parade — where hundreds of Little Penguins waddle up the beach at sunset — is one of Australia's most beloved and extraordinary wildlife viewing experiences, a wonderful close-up encounter with Australia's most charming native wildlife. K'gari (Fraser Island) offers breathtaking landscapes for 4WD adventures — the world's largest sand island rewards every traveler who explores its extraordinary freshwater lakes, ancient rainforest, and extraordinary dingo wildlife by 4WD. The Best of Uluru and Kings Canyon tour received excellent traveler feedback — watching the extraordinary sunrise over Uluru's ancient red rock, the most sacred site in Australian Aboriginal culture, is one of the world's most moving and life-changing travel experiences.

New Zealand is Oceania's most extraordinary nature and adventure destination — a land of extraordinary fjords, glaciers, volcanic peaks, and the extraordinary Maori culture that has shaped this beautiful country's identity for over 700 years. Milford Sound features stunning fjord scenery and is one of New Zealand's most extraordinary and breathtaking natural destinations — the magnificent fiord of towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and extraordinary wildlife (including seals and penguins) accessible by cruise boat from Te Anau or Queenstown is consistently rated one of the world's most beautiful natural destinations. Cultural tours offer guided Maori culture experiences in Rotorua — the extraordinary geothermal landscapes, traditional Maori village visits, hangi feasts, and haka performances of Rotorua reveal the extraordinary depth and richness of New Zealand's indigenous Maori cultural heritage. Fiji is known for its beautiful beaches and lush jungles — Fiji tours include extraordinary hiking, rafting, and snorkeling adventures alongside the extraordinary hospitality and warm culture of Fiji's welcoming island communities. Beach vacations in Oceania are popular in Fiji, Cook Islands, and French Polynesia — the extraordinary turquoise lagoons, white sand beaches, and extraordinary overwater bungalow resorts of French Polynesia and the Cook Islands create some of the world's most beautiful and romantic island destinations.

Oceania Tour Tips

Start planning your Oceania journey with expert tips.

Best Time for Oceania Tours

The best time for Oceania tours varies by destination and region. Australia's summer months (December through February) bring the warmest temperatures and the best conditions for the Great Barrier Reef snorkeling, Phillip Island penguin parade visits, and coastal Australia adventures — pack lightweight clothing, sunscreen, and sunglasses for travel across Australia. New Zealand is a wonderful year-round destination — demand for nature and adventure tourism remains strong in New Zealand throughout the year, with summer (December–February) ideal for Milford Sound and South Island adventures, and spring and autumn perfect for smaller crowds across New Zealand's extraordinary national parks. Fiji and the South Pacific islands are most beautiful from May through October — the dry season brings clear skies, warm temperatures, and calm seas perfect for snorkeling Fiji's extraordinary coral reefs and exploring the Cook Islands and French Polynesia's extraordinary beach destinations.

Southeast Asia and Oceania: The Ultimate Combination

Oceania connects naturally with Southeast Asia — combining Australia and New Zealand's extraordinary natural wonders with the vibrant cultures, ancient temples, and extraordinary street food of Southeast Asia creates one of the world's most comprehensive and rewarding long-haul travel itineraries. Indonesia — Southeast Asia's extraordinary archipelago nation — is geographically part of the Oceania region and connects naturally with Australia's north for extraordinary multi-country adventures combining Bali's extraordinary Hindu temples and rice terraces with Australia's extraordinary Great Barrier Reef and Uluru. Southeast Asia's extraordinary destinations (Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Bali) combine naturally with Australia and New Zealand for extraordinary 3–5 week circumnavigation of the Pacific journey. The extraordinary diversity of Oceania — from Australia's outback to New Zealand's fjords, Fiji's beaches, and the extraordinary off-the-beaten-path adventures of the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu — makes Oceania one of the world's most rewarding and diverse long-haul travel regions.

Phillip Island: Australia's Most Beloved Wildlife Experience

Phillip Island's extraordinary penguin parade is one of Australia's most beloved and iconic wildlife experiences — every evening at sunset, hundreds of Little Penguins emerge from the sea and waddle up Summerland Beach to their burrows in one of the world's most extraordinary and heartwarming wildlife spectacles. Phillip Island is just 90 minutes south of Melbourne — combining Phillip Island's extraordinary penguin parade with Melbourne's vibrant city culture, excellent wine and food scene, and the extraordinary Great Ocean Road creates a wonderful multi-day Victoria adventure that rewards every traveler who visits this extraordinary corner of southeastern Australia. Australia's extraordinary wildlife — kangaroos, koalas, wombats, echidnas, and the extraordinary Little Penguins of Phillip Island — is unlike anywhere else on earth, and close-up wildlife encounters with Australia's most iconic animals are among every traveler's most treasured and extraordinary Oceania tour memories. Pack lightweight clothing, sunscreen, and sunglasses for warm summer months in Australia — our knowledgeable tour guides provide all practical Oceania travel tips and expertise throughout every extraordinary journey.

Oceania Features: Islands, Adventures and Cultures

Oceania is the smallest continent with 14 nation-states — a remarkable diversity of extraordinary cultures, languages, landscapes, and wildlife concentrated in the world's most extraordinary oceanic region. Adventure and adventure-sports tours in Oceania include extraordinary hiking, skydiving, white water rafting, glacier trekking, and multi-day hiking in New Zealand's extraordinary national parks — from the extraordinary Tongariro Alpine Crossing and Milford Track to Australia's extraordinary Larapinta Trail through the MacDonnell Ranges. Eco-tourism tours in Oceania focus on bird-watching and visiting protected areas — the extraordinary biodiversity of Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific islands creates some of the world's greatest eco-tourism destinations, with extraordinary bird species found nowhere else on earth. Luxury travelers are drawn to South Pacific cruises and premium lodges in New Zealand — the extraordinary luxury eco-lodges and private island resorts of French Polynesia, Fiji, and the Cook Islands create some of the world's most extraordinary and romantic premium travel experiences in the South Pacific.

Great Barrier Reef and Australia's Natural Wonders

The Great Barrier Reef is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the world's largest coral reef system — snorkeling and diving the extraordinary underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef, with its extraordinary coral gardens, tropical fish, turtles, and reef sharks, is one of the world's greatest and most extraordinary natural wonders experiences. Top destinations for scuba diving in Oceania include the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest — the extraordinary combination of Australia's two greatest UNESCO World Heritage natural wonders in tropical Queensland creates one of the world's most extraordinary and biodiverse travel destinations. Activities in Oceania include multi-day hiking and glacier trekking — New Zealand's extraordinary Franz Josef Glacier hikes and Australia's extraordinary outback trekking adventures are two of Oceania's greatest and most extraordinary outdoor adventure experiences. Cruise-based exploration in Oceania includes extraordinary iconic natural landmarks — South Pacific cruises through the extraordinary islands of Fiji, Vanuatu, and French Polynesia create extraordinary immersive Oceania journey experiences that reward every traveler who chooses to explore the Pacific by sea.

Fiji and the South Pacific Islands

Fiji is the South Pacific's most extraordinary and beloved island destination — a beautiful archipelago of 333 islands featuring extraordinary white sand beaches, crystal clear turquoise lagoons, extraordinary coral reefs, lush jungle interiors, and the extraordinarily warm and welcoming Fijian culture that makes every visitor feel immediately at home. Fiji tours include hiking, rafting, and snorkeling adventures — the extraordinary Namosi Highlands trekking, Navua River white water rafting, and extraordinary coral reef snorkeling at Beqa Lagoon create some of the South Pacific's most exciting and diverse adventure experiences. Beach vacations in Oceania are popular in Fiji, Cook Islands, and French Polynesia — the extraordinary luxury overwater bungalows, pristine beaches, and extraordinary marine life of French Polynesia's Society Islands (Bora Bora, Moorea, and Huahine) create some of the world's most beautiful and romantic island destinations. The Solomon Islands and Vanuatu are known for extraordinary off-the-beaten-path adventures — extraordinary World War II underwater wreck diving, active volcano trekking, and extraordinary indigenous tribal culture experiences make the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu two of Oceania's most fascinating and rewarding hidden gem destinations.
