Zenitravel has launched a new Australia/New Zealand package and so we couldn't resist sharing places to visit and curiosities about these marvellous places...

Australia🦘

1️⃣ Sydney Opera House 🎵

Probably the most recognisable figure on the entire continent, the Sydney Opera House is an authentic architectural work of art designed by Jørn Utzon. Every year more than 1,500 performances take place here, whether concerts or operas, entertainment is synonymous with the Sydney Opera House. It also has an excellent location, close to the city centre, with excellent dining options and next to the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge.

2️⃣ Great Barrier Reef 🐚

No visit to Australia is complete without exploring the Great Barrier Reef. With more than 2,300 kilometres of reefs and islands, it is the largest reef system in the world - and one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the planet. Whether snorkelling, diving or simply taking a glass-bottom boat trip, this experience turns any trip into a memory for life.

3️⃣ Uluru ✴️

It's impossible to talk about Australia without mentioning the imposing Uluru. This gigantic rock formation in the centre of the country is more than just an impressive landscape - it's a spiritual and cultural symbol deeply rooted in Aboriginal tradition. What is most impressive, apart from its size, is the way it comes to life throughout the day, changing colour with the sunlight. A visit to Uluru isn't just a tourist attraction - it's a moment of contemplation in one of Australia's most emblematic places.

4️⃣Bondi Beach ⛱️

Just a few minutes from the centre of Sydney, Bondi is one of the country's most iconic beaches. With surfers, coastal walks and seaside cafés, it's the ideal place to experience the laid-back Australian lifestyle. At the end of the day, watching the sunset at the Bondi Icebergs Club is something you'll never forget.

New Zealand 🌳

1️⃣ Milford Sound 🏞️

 

Located in Fiordland National Park on the South Island, Milford Sound is a breathtaking fjord. Surrounded by vertiginous mountains, cascading waterfalls and a wealth of marine life, this place seems like a world apart. A cruise through the fjord is a must - and if you're lucky, you might even see dolphins and seals.

2️⃣ Rotorua ⛲

 

This city, located on the North Island, is famous for its hot springs and the intense smell of sulphur in the air - a sign of the geothermal activity there. Rotorua is also an excellent point of contact with Maori culture, with traditional shows and typical feasts.

3️⃣ Hobbiton 🏘️

 

Fans of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" will immediately recognise the green hills and round houses of Hobbiton in Matamata. But even for those who don't follow the adventures of Middle-earth, it's a magical experience to visit this life-size film set.

4️⃣Queenstown🪂

Known as the adventure capital of the world, Queenstown is a thrill-seeker's paradise. Bungee jumping, skiing, paragliding or speed boating - the options are endless. But it's also the ideal place to relax with breathtaking views over Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables mountains.
