The Scenic Experience

A

We’ve combined the ease of tailored travel with a selection of experiences that offer you a true insight into the culture, landscape and history of Australia and New Zealand.

Each day was full of interesting and memorable experiences, with many of the locations simply breathtaking. I recommend this tour to get a great coverage of this historical and beautiful area of Australia... Keith B, Scenic Guest, July 2019, Feefo Review

Scenic Enrich

With Scenic, it’s more than daily sightseeing excursions – it’s expertly curated once-in-a-lifetime Scenic Enrich moments. Our expert Journey Designers have handpicked a range of unique and unforgettable experiences that will, undoubtedly, be among the highlights of your journey. View the Great Barrier Reef as you fly over in a helicopter, dine in the light of a thousand bulbs as the sun sets behind Uluru (Ayers Rock), and hear Mãori tales on a tour of New Zealand’s Tãne Mahuta.

Scenic Freechoice

Your included Scenic Freechoice activities are designed to give you a range of exceptional experiences that allow you to personalise your journey, at a pace that suits you. Active, moderate and relaxed options ensure there’s something for everyone. From history to culture, cuisine to nature, there’s a wealth of options, whatever your interests.

Hotels

Our hotels are selected on more than reputation alone, but on a combination of location, character and ambiance. This ensures your stays are reflective of your destination for a truly immersive experience. Stay in a spectacular waterfront location amidst the rugged beauty of Australia’s outback, or in a stylish city centre hotel. Enjoy views of New Zealand’s magnificent Mount Cook from The Hermitage Hotel and marvel at spectacular Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables Mountains from The Rees Hotel in Queenstown.

Cruising

Waking up on Milford Sound is one of life’s great pleasures. Explore the full length of this majestic fiord on board the Milford Mariner. Anchor for the night and explore by kayak or small boat, before a delicious evening buffet dinner. Wake up to an incredible sunrise amidst this spectacular natural beauty the next morning. Carefully selected to offer you the utmost comfort and intimacy on board, you can expect an awe-inspiring cruise.

Rail Journeys

Embark on an unforgettable rail journey in New Zealand, travelling through the heart of the South Island on board the TranzAlpine. Traverse the mighty Southern Alps, taking in the spectacular views from your open-air viewing carriage. The stunning alpine scenery will leave you in awe, as you enjoy delicious snacks from your beautifully appointed cabin. Nth Degree
