Experience the unparalleled beauty of nature combined with bustling urban landscapes in Australia and New Zealand.  Australia has a very diverse geography and boasts mountains, rainforests, beautiful beaches, and the world's largest coral reef system. The cities in Australia are buzzing with amazing nightlife and cultural events, and a fantastic music scene. With its beautiful rugged terrain and volcanic landscapes, New Zealand is a paradise for the adventurous, with regular activities including bungee jumping, rafting, and spelunking (caving). New Zealand is not only known for its stunning scenery (as seen in The Lord of the Rings) but also for its lively culture and impressive wine industry.


Cities & Ports in Australia & New Zealand

Check out some things to do in the top destinations in Australia and New Zealand...

Auckland

Get a bird's eye view of the city from the top of the SkyTower and enjoy a delicious rack of New Zealand lamb while dining at its 365-degree rotating restaurant. Viaduct Harbor is also a popular spot to eat and grab a drink, for tourists and locals alike. Walk to the top of One Tree Hill and learn a little about the fascinating history of the native Māori people along the way. Don't miss a Māori cultural performance at the Auckland Museum!

Melbourne

Explore the Great Ocean Road to get a true taste of Australia's beautiful coastline. Travel the road all the way to London Bridge, a natural arch that was formed by a gradual process of erosion and, until 1990, formed a complete bridge. This scenic drive is known as one of the best places in Australia to see koalas in the wild! Get spectacular views from 88 floors up in the Southern Hemisphere's highest viewing platform, the Eureka Skydeck 88.

Sydney

Sydney has one of the most recognizable skylines in the world, with the Harbor Bridge and exquisite Sydney Opera House. Visit Sydney Wildlife World, where you will get a sneak peek into the typical habitats of Australian wildlife, such as koalas and wallabies. Catch a game of rugby at ANZ Stadium, or take a one-day eco-tour from the city to the Blue Mountains and Jenolan Caves.

Wellington

Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, is not only a cultural hub, but it is also the gateway to the wine country on the southern side of the North Island. Within a few hours' drive of Wellington, you can visit a plethora of wineries, where you can sample some of the region's finest Sauvignon Blanc. Visit the Museum of New Zealand (Te PapaTongarewa) and explore the many different floors of historical artifact exhibits, engaging science activities, and even an earthquake simulator!   From Wellington, you can also catch a ferry to the South Island.

From Our Clients...

Exceptional support through delayed vacation due to COVID

"Theresa was wonderful. We had been planning this Alaskan cruise since 2019 and then COVID hit and then we were still unsure about 2021 so we waited another year. Theresa took care of everything for us, checking in with us every couple of weeks and making sure that we were getting our checklist taken care of. Thank you, Theresa and TravelPerks Dream Vacations, we had a great time and cannot wait for our next cruise."

Flawless Honeymooning

"I used TravelPerks to book my honeymoon and had the pleasure of working with Matt Kim. He is very knowledgeable and goes out of his way to get you the best deals. Matt was extremely patient and was always prompt answering my emails. I definitely recommend using TravelPerks for all your vacation needs and their bonus deals are a plus. Thanks, Matt, for making vacation planning easy and stress free!"

Spectacular Shore Excursions

"Everything worked out even better than planned. On all three shore excursions we met people in the bus who said they appreciated those excursions and they were far better than the ones offered by the ship. We, too, were impressed with the quality of the excursions and tour guides. The cruise was spectacular and all the arrangements made in advance were spectacular."
– Jayne W. - Norwegian Cruise Line

Booking a Vacation is FUN!

"In today’s environment, booking vacations is hard. Why? There are a million and one websites out there that all have information on them. You can look at peer reviews until you are blue in the face. Is this ship really that bad? Is it the best thing ever? Is the resort awesome? Was it an isolated incident? Who knows. And sorting through all of them and figuring out what is real and what is somebody making a mountain out of a molehill takes time.

Which is where Theresa comes in. We love working with her for our vacations. It generally involves a quick phone call giving her a budget and the vibe we are looking for. And then go on an awesome vacation. No pecking through reviews and pricing that should be written in hieroglyphics. Just straight-up advice and no-nonsense planning.

Prior to using Theresa’s team, I would spend hours planning and routing and reading. Now? I pick the phone up or I email the awesome team and they take care of me and we get to enjoy our vacation. If you are booking a large group or an intimate vacation, I highly recommend Theresa and her team. Awesome to do business with and they make vacations FUN!"

Once In A Lifetime Trip

I was talking about TravelPerks during our state presentation, and a member commented that they had booked cruises through TravelPerks and had a fabulous experience! They both said that you guys were super easy to work with and explained everything well and they felt cared for. It's not often we get members interrupting a presentation to put it out there that they had a great experience!
