This once-in-a-lifetime family adventure combines the natural wonders of New Zealand with the white sands and turquoise waters of Fiji. Over two unforgettable weeks, you’ll journey through vibrant cities, glow-worm caves, and Middle-earth landscapes before swapping it all for six nights of pure relaxation on Fiji’s Coral Coast. With carefully chosen hotels, private transfers, guided touring, and international flights included, every detail has been designed to balance discovery with down time, making it a perfect holiday for families.
Your adventure begins with four nights in Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city, set between twin harbours and volcanic hills. Staying at the Grand Millennium Auckland, you’ll have time to explore at your own pace.
Ride the lift to the top of the Sky Tower for panoramic views, wander through leafy parks, or hop on a ferry to Waiheke Island, known for its beaches and vineyards. In the evenings, stroll along Viaduct Harbour where sailboats bob against a backdrop of cafés and family-friendly restaurants, the perfect place to unwind together.
From Auckland, a full-day guided tour takes you through the glowworm-lit caves of Waitomo, where thousands of tiny lights sparkle like stars above your head, before continuing to Hobbiton, the much-loved film set from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
Your journey ends in Rotorua, where four nights at the Regent of Rotorua await. Here, the earth comes alive with bubbling mud pools, steaming vents, and the dramatic Pohutu Geyser create a landscape unlike anywhere else. Alongside nature’s power, you’ll discover rich Māori traditions through cultural performances and traditional feasts, offering an unforgettable introduction to New Zealand’s heritage.
After your New Zealand adventure, fly across the Pacific to Fiji for six nights at the Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort. This is where family time takes centre stage. The kids can splash in the lagoon-style pool or join the resort’s lively kids’ club, while parents enjoy golden sands, calm turquoise waters, or a cocktail at sunset.
Snorkel among coral reefs, paddle along the coast in a kayak, or simply relax beneath the palms. In the evenings, experience Fijian hospitality through cultural shows and a traditional lovo feast cooked beneath the earth, the perfect finale to your family holiday.

An Antarctic expedition cruise is designed to take you beyond simply seeing the continent from a ship. Small inflatable Zodiac boats are used to explore bays, reach remote landing sites and get closer to the ice, wildlife and landscapes of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Most journeys are designed to get you somewhere as quickly as possible. The Blue Train does the opposite. Over three days and two nights, it travels roughly 1,600 kilometres between Pretoria and Cape Town, turning the distance between the two cities into an experience in its own right.
Europe is packed with iconic destinations, but some of its most rewarding holidays begin just beyond the well-trodden tourist trail. If you've already ticked off the big-name cities or simply fancy somewhere that feels a little different, there are plenty of places offering beautiful scenery, fascinating history, and memorable food without the queues. From medieval towns on the Adriatic coast to volcanic islands in the Atlantic, these lesser-known corners of Europe prove that sometimes the best trips are the ones you weren't expecting.
