Turn Winter into a Summer Romp Through Australia & New Zealand

Come January, those of us in the Northern Hemisphere will be in the heart of winter with the warmth of the holidays left well behind. However, those looking to heat up 2010 from day one will find just such an option with the extended New Zealand & Australia Grand Tour 2010. Set to depart on January 6, 2010, and covering both Australia and New Zealand over the course of 31 relaxing days, this month-long escape is the perfect way to heat up the last leg of winter and begin your new year with adventure and tropical beauty.

Throughout the month-long journey, you will visit over a dozen popular cities and areas including Christchurch, Queenstown, Auckland, Cairns, Sydney, Melbourne and more with lodging, activities, and 51 meals covered as you explore the land down under alongside a knowledgeable area guide and the rest of your travel party. Along the way, you will experience sheep dog demonstrations, visit Fjordlands National Park, take part in a Maori feast, peruse the big cities of the countries, wonder at the Great Barrier Reef, gain an aerial view of a rain forest, interact with kangaroos, and truly immerse yourself in the area culture by staying overnight with a host family for three nights of your travel!
