Scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef.
It's no overstatement to observe that until you've been Down Under, you simply haven't seen the world. That's especially true for nature travelers. The two nations offer up a compelling array of travel experiences, from safaris in the outback to spectacularly secluded island hideaways and cosmopolitan city scenes. Although these countries may seem light-years away, an overnight flight from Los Angeles or San Francisco will have you waking up in Sydney or Auckland before you know it. Myriad options for adventure abound in these locales. Australia is so vast that it almost begs to be approached piecemeal, and here we present an inspiring sample trip for island lovers who want to experience Sydney, too. But our New Zealand trip hits most of the country's key locales. Bear in mind that, as for all our trips, we would be thrilled to help customize the perfect adventure for you, your interests, and your time frame. GO Ou t s i d e G O. c o m | 61
