Travellers and explorers have long been fascinated by the Australasian continent. Tours in Australasia and Oceania search out famous wildlife, sun-soaked beaches and thrilling adventures. On trips to Australasia, you’ll also encounter ancient cultures, rich histories and modern cities.

Best Guided Tour Holidays to Australasia

Pick almost anywhere in New Zealand and you’ll find an abundance of exciting activities. Take the subtropical Bay of Islands region on the North Island, for example. Some of the best scenic tours in New Zealand are here, like ferry tours to the Hole in the Rock, aka Piercy Island, and trekking tours through lush rainforest. You can also go snorkelling and diving among reefs and shipwrecks, kayaking in marine reserves, and camping on verdant Urupukapuka Island. In terms of history and culture, Rotorua is a centre of Maori culture and the Waitangi Treaty Grounds are historically pivotal. And this is all just in one area!

Australasia Tours for UK Travellers

Heading to Australia, most Tourfind trips favour the West Coast. However, the East Coast also has so much for a traveller to enjoy. You can take boat tours of the pristine River of Mirrors in the Noosa Everglades or visit Fraser Island off the coast of Queensland – a paradise for ecotours in Australia and the world’s largest sand island. For a wild excursion, head to Tasmania, where nature tours seek out the famous Tasmanian devil, wombats and other unique creatures in and around Trowunna Wildlife Park. At night, look out for the Southern Lights, Aurora Australis.
