"Best trip ever!"

“There was a good mix of planned activities and free time. Optional experiences were varied and interesting. Local guides were funny and knowledgeable. It was great to participate in activities that helped maintain our planet and that allowed us to meet local farmers and businesses. Amazing experiences and sights every day.”

- Ellen, Contrasts of Australia and New Zealand

"An unforgettable journey"

“The Southern Spectacular was truly a once-in-a-lifetime trip. Trafalgar and our Travel Director Isobel were fantastic. I cannot wait to come back to New Zealand. Don’t miss this opportunity to trek through NZ with this crew, the itinerary is jam-packed, and you won’t be disappointed!”

- Rachel, Southern Spectacular

"If you are thinking about it, do it!"

“The coach tour was exactly what we wanted. No driving and comfort travel. The Travel Director and coach driver were brilliant! Accommodation and food was very good. The Great Ocean Road was amazing, Kangaroo Island is a must-see and Adelaide was great”

- Terrence, Great Ocean Road and Kangaroo Island

Australia
Museum of Sydney

The Museum of Sydney showcases the colonial and contemporary history of Sydney, though pictures, objects and digital media exhibitions.

Australia
Pavlova

Pavlova is made from chewy meringue shell with a soft marshmallow centre, and topped with whipped cream and fresh fruits like strawberries, kiwifruit and passionfruit. There’s a rivalry between Australia and New Zealand over the true national origins of the dish, but both countries agree it’s a truly delicious dessert.
New Zealand
Crayfish

Seafood is a national specialty throughout New Zealand, but the best place to enjoy a meal of crayfish is Kaikoura, a seaside town on the South Island. Here, you’ll enjoy the freshest catch of the day, and the crayfish is boiled and served with a tangy dipping sauce.
Australia
Parmigiana

Found in restaurants all over Australia, the parmigiana is one of the most beloved dishes in the country. It’s made from a breaded chicken breast slathered in tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, served with french fries and salad. It originated in Italy and was brought to Australia with a wave of Italian migrants.
