Outback Self Drive Experiences

Discover the cultural and natural highlights of New Zealand and Australia on an epic 20-day adventure. Start off on New Zealand’s North Island with a Maori feast in Rotorua; then head south to cruise through majestic, wildlife-rich fjords. Queenstown—the adventure capital of the world—will serve up a healthy dose of adrenaline before we fly to Australia and eat our way through Melbourne on a walking lunch. Go behind the scenes at the Sydney Opera House, and dive in to explore the Great Barrier Reef on a snorkeling excursion. Wrap up your adventure in Queensland by spending an afternoon with members of Australia's Indigenous community.

Starting and ending in Hobart, your journey circles Tasmania. Discover the heritage of Hobart and Port Arthur before heading to the clear waters of the eastern coast and the jewel that is the Freycinet National Park. Travel on to Launceston and explore Tarkine Wilderness Region. Make the most of spectacular Cradle Mountain and remote Strahan with two night stays in both locations.
