Detailed Description

Personalized for families with an aspiring Pokémon trainer, this handcrafted 14-day family tour through New Zealand and Australia is customized to see it all and catch em' all with an expert tour guide who provides an educational context to the famous landmarks and destinations. Experience firsthand the unparalleled beauty that each country down under has to offer, as the family ventures to discover breathtaking landscapes, curious wildlife, and unforgettable experiences. From the resplendent hills and scenic oceanside views of New Zealand to the artistic collectives of Melbourne, this custom-tailored trip offers the best of both nature and history. Listen to the pulsing sounds of the Haka (traditional dance) rise into the air, then enjoy the peaceful quiet of the underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef. Contemplate the shimmering skyline of Auckland and enchanting art of Melbourne. From the majesty of nature to the magic of civilization, this trip will surely show you the best of both that New Zealand and Australia have to offer.

Touring New Zealand takes you through Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city, where beautiful contemporary architecture decorates the cityscape. Beneath the earth in the Waitomo Caves, observe the sweeping darkness that is only illuminated by luminous glowworms. Experience the Maori culture of Rotorua while personally experiencing tribal customs and food. Explore the Hobbit holes of Hobbiton, as you pursue Pokémon and hobbits alike. In Queenstown, explore the wonder of nature in Milford Sound and the surrounding Remarkables Mountain Range that surrounds the city.

Australia also boasts both the accomplishment of humanity and unique treasures of nature. The artistic culture of Melbourne and the bountiful endeavors of local Australian farms are sure to inspire. A visit to Queensland would never be complete without the exploration of both the Great Barrier Reef and the adjacent rainforest. See the architectural grandeur of downtown and the natural decadence of the surrounding wild as you stroll through Sydney.

Whether you crave the countries’ wildlife, wild-side, or history, this tour will show you the joys of the tamed and untamed. The wonders of New Zealand and Australia are at your fingertips; don't let them slip by!

New Zealand Vacation Review: Scenery 1-Week Trip

It was a fantastic trip. Zicasso's travel planner nailed all of my interests and left with me an unforgettable experience. She was also accommodating and quick to act with any changes to my travel plans. Even with poor cell service and communication systems down on the app, she was able to communicate updates to my itinerary in a timely and effective manner. Thank you for the unforgettable memories I have as a result of your excellent planning.

Australia Vacation Review: Sydney, Melbourne, Cairns, Port...

This was our first trip to Australia. Zicasso’s travel agent took time to get to know our family and how we like to travel. She gathered our interests and preferences, and carefully curated an itinerary that showcased Sydney, Melbourne, and Cairns/Port Douglas, all within our budget.

This travel agent was very responsive before and during our trip, and monitored our activities to make sure we were happy. In fact, during our stay, one of our excursions (kayaking in Cairns) was canceled due to weather and she was right on top of it. She was able to book us immediately on another expedition (whale watching) of our choice. We appreciated her responsiveness.

Overall, our entire family was extremely happy with our travel agent's arrangements and had a memorable trip to Australia.

Australia, New Zealand Tour Review: 13-Night Trip

We very much enjoyed our time in New Zealand and Australia. The tours were all very good. Zicasso's travel agent and our tour partner were very responsive and helpful throughout the planning phase and while we were on vacation.

The only feedback we have is that the hotels selected, other than the hotels in New Zealand, did not have the amenities we were hoping to get from four-star properties. We'll do a better job of indicating what we need in hotel selections moving forward, but we thought the hotels could have been a notch better than they were.

Australia Travel Review: Melbourne, Tamborine Mountain,...

I would use our travel company again in a minute! Zicasso's travel consultant really “got me” and designed the perfect trip for us.

The highlights especially included picking perfect places for us to stay (close to most everything we were doing and in the heart of the cities). The tours, both private and small group, gave us not only what we asked for, but even more that we didn’t know existed.

The itinerary was as detailed as it could possibly be, describing the day, what to bring, names and phone numbers to call if there were issues, and who we needed to call to confirm future tour dates.

One of our highlights was the penguin experience. Our guide was great and our trip planner got us “plus” tickets, which I would definitely recommend. Finally, she provided us with the necessary info and guides (where necessary) for our amazing hikes.
