Australia & New Zealand Shore Excursions
As well as the island of Tasmania and several smaller islands, Australia covers the mainland continent. It is the sixth-largest country in the world by total area. For more than 38,000 years before Australia was’ discovered’ by Dutch explorers in 1606, Indigenous Australians (aboriginals) populated the continent. There are six states and several territories in the country, each distinct from the others, offering a whole new world of discovery. See what it has to offer Australia. Browse through our range of shore excursions in Australia.
Two major landmasses, the North and South Islands, and several smaller islands make up New Zealand. It is located 900 miles east of Australia and about 600 miles south of Fiji’s Pacific Islands. The islands were first inhabited by Polynesians known as the Maori sometime around 1300AD. 300 years before the Europeans, they reached New Zealand. The effect of the two cultures and the unique biodiversity of both animal and plant life in the countries make up a stunning tapestry that is more than just appealing to the eye.
