Freedom Days
Throughout your Australia and New Zealand combination holiday, we want you to enjoy a good mix of visits to must-see landmarks and time to experience your destinations in a way that suits you. For example, you might like to try an adventurous activity like climbing Sydney Harbour Bridge or the Shotover Jet in Queenstown, or if you prefer a more relaxing experience like sampling exquisite wines in The Barossa Valley or Central Otago. Thanks to our Freedom Days, you’ll have the chance to tailor your experiences to enjoy the things that interest you the most.
And you don’t have to decide everything before you leave the UK – you can choose many of the excursions as late as the day before, and your local Tour Manager will make all the arrangements for you.
The majority of the optional excursions will be booked locally with your Tour Manager, but there are some that must be pre-booked before you depart the UK due to limited space and we suggest these are pre- booked at least 3 months prior to departure.
Please note, any excursions requested within 30 days of departure will be subject to a 5% surcharge.
Optional excursions for stopover destinations
If you’ve taken advantage of one of our two night stopovers on your journey home from Australia and New Zealand, you may want to make the most of your short stay in these exciting destinations by taking an optional excursion or two.
After all, who could visit Singapore without a trip to the world-famous and historic Raffles Hotel for afternoon tea or a Singapore Sling? Or if you’re in Bangkok, the Grand Palace with its beautiful Temple of the Emerald Buddha is a must-see. Enjoy a sightseeing tour of Hong Kong and learn about its fascinating history. And if Dubai is where you’ll spend the last two nights of your holiday, why not enjoy one of them feasting Bedouin-style on a Desert Safari?
