SURREAL SOUTH ISLAND & ANTIPODEAN ADVENTURES

You’ve made the dream real, and yet it still feels

surreal. Climbing through the Southern Alps of

Fiordland National Park along arguably the most

scenic highway in New Zealand — and therefore the

world — you smile at your perpetual state of surprise

over the reality that is New Zealand’s often

overlooked South Island. The Edwardian and

Victorian charms of Dunedin, topped off with

an unforgettable journey through the glorious

Taieri River Gorge. The exquisiteness of Pinot Noirs,

Rieslings and Chardonnays sampled at a Central

Otago winery. The soul-stirring grandeur of the

Remarkables mountain range reflecting upon the

pure waters of Lake Wakatipu, followed by a

steamship ride to a traditional highland farm where

you marvelled at sheepdogs in action.

Surprises abound throughout Australia and

New Zealand. Revel in them with tours of Sydney’s

Circular Quay and Opera House, sojourns in

Melbourne’s laneways, a catamaran cruise through

New Zealand’s Bay of Islands, and more.
