Classic Self Drive and Coach Touring Holidays
Explore New Zealand & Australia with these popular itineraries
Enjoy one of Pure Journey's classic self-drive coach trips around New Zealand or Australia. These holiday tours ensure you get to see and experience some of Australasia's best scenery and attractions.Â
New Zealand hosts stunning lakes, mountains, geothermal activity, Lord of the Rings locations and glaciers, while Australia showcases golden sandy beaches, aquatic wonders, rainforests and contrasting red deserts under a clear night sky. Both countries are home to incredible native wildlife, offer cultural experiences and adventure that every generation can enjoy. Choose to visit both countries or just one.Â
Be aware, Australia is a vast country and although New Zealand is much smaller there are tricky roads and endless bush to contend with so knowing the right place to stop can be half the challenge. Our team of travel specialists will select the best highlights for both your budget and timeframe, making sure you have everything you need to enjoy your perfect vacation.
If you'd prefer to remove not to drive on your experience why not look at a coach tour. We have independent and escorted journeys in both New Zealand and Australia.
