Oceania
Across Oceania, travellers find a mix of epic road trips, wild nature and laid-back coastal living shaped by the rhythms of the Pacific. Australia offers everything from rugged Outback road trips to Sydney’s famous harbour and golden beaches, while Fiji’s coral reefs and overwater bungalows bring tropical island relaxation. In New Zealand, alpine landscapes set the stage for backcountry hikes, glowworm caves and adrenaline sports around Queenstown. Oceania travel destinations scream epic road trips, adventure sports, and laid-back luxury for thrill-seekers craving the ultimate down-under high.

Unmissable Moments
Pair'd Beach Club: Meelup Beach at Midday
Meelum Beach is one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Western Australia. For one weekend only it becomes something else: a European beach club straight out of the south of France, with rows of umbrellas, daybeds and DJs on the sand. Welcome drinks. For the premium package, an indulgent feast of freshly shucked oysters. Then the wine. Three more courses still to come. The Indian Ocean directly in front of you.
The Nevis Bungy
You're standing on a small platform suspended above the Nevis River. 134 metres of open air beneath you. Nothing to hold onto but the countdown. Then you jump. And for eight and a half seconds it's just freefall. The kind of moment that splits your trip into before and after.
Floating Fire & Ice: The Watershed Sauna Experience
After a day carving alpine runs, you’ll strip down and step into New Zealand’s first ever floating sauna on Lake Whakatipu. With views of snow-capped peaks and a cold plunge that’ll slap you awake – it’s the most peaceful, visceral, wild moment of the week.
When the mountains become the coast
You wake up on day three still thinking like a skier. The snow gums are still out the window and the air still has that alpine bite to it. Then the road drops east. The snow gives way to farmland, the farmland opens into scrub, and somewhere on the Great Alpine Road, the smell of salt finds you through the window before the ocean even appears.
Uluru at Sunrise
You wake before dawn and the desert is still. The sky lightens slowly and then the colour begins. Deep red switching to burnt orange to a gold that moves across the face of the rock as the sun clears the horizon. Uluru is 348 metres high and 550 million years old. Standing before it, you’ll feel the significance of this living cultural site that has been cared for and understood long before the road was built.
Sleeping Underground in Coober Pedy
Most outback towns have a pub, a servo and a population that peaked in a different decade. Coober Pedy has all of those and also an entire underground city carved into the rock to escape heat that regularly exceeds 50 degrees above the surface. There's nowhere else in Australia quite like it, and you’ll spend the night at Radeka Downunder in an original underground home.
